1st track day at the island..

was a lvl 1 keith code school but still got to blast around towards the end. was pretty good experience overall. first lesson or two we werent allowed to use the brakes but i was surprised how much i was absolutely hammering round the corners leant over haard and just more and more power. i had known about being gentle on the bars leaning off with pressure on the opposite peg to the lean and was just practicing that most of the day. was real good. no close calls. in the group of 30 i was top 10 easy and most of the better dudes had done track days there before. so was pretty happy overall. in the final session strung a couple of good laps together with seemingly good technique. for me. was mad. but yeh only two crappy photos.. not even in a corner.. hopefully next time get some good shots taken..

Crappy photos?! Um, any pics of me on my bike at Phillip Island would be framed and hung all over my house.

Nice job at the track and congrats on a fun day had! Very jealous of you, my friend. Looking forward to getting in a school at Mid Ohio this year myself.
