if thats the full GP circuit with both harpoons and the chicane thats pretty good and you are staring with the right habits rather than building the wrong ones for 30 years
Yep, full track mate. Must admit that the Fireblades really flatter your riding. I'd only just bought the R1 for track after riding a CBR600f for a couple of months so I was a bit worried that the Blade would be too much for me too soon, but it was all fine. I've spent a lot of time on track in cars so have a bit of a headstart knowing the lines and so on. The new Blades were so good that I started looking at new bikes myself and next thing I knew I have a Panigale haha.
These were taken on the first morning on a new to me Triumph daytona 675 at Rockingham. First ride to noise test then on the track. Suspension was all over the place but got it sorted by the end of the 2 days (see last picture of beautifully warn tyre!)
Getting there. Was much better after suspension setup. Need to word on body position now..... Bit more racy!
Same as you are but stick your chest on the tank, and your pretty much there as it will lower your top half more in line
Last weekends ARD again. Nice to meet @Nelson too. Better body position than the first one. Just keep going in the same direction and trust the tyres a bit more me thinks.
MCE sponsored a trackday at mondello , there 1st in Ireland. Pirelli were there to help with tyre pressure and advice , Some bsb guys there too , alastair seeley,william dunlop,glen irwin and peter hickman. Watching those guys wheelie and drift into corners was unreal Alastair seeley took my bike out for a few laps , his first time on a ducati and enjoyed it Top blokes , very approachable . All in all , best trackday I ever did. Oh and it was a freebie No track photos. Best I can do is a little vid a instructor took following me..
Yea, think he really enjoyed riding a twin.Big grin on him returning to pits,lol He,s back later in aug as a instructor at superbike school. Looking forward to that...
