  1. i think it will give you better throttle control if you can hold and shift a wheelie...it helped me get smoother but not faster
  2. going down to road atlanta for 2 trackdays april 10th and 11th with nesba...any pointers on riding that track???? been watching videos but never the same as real track time..
  3. thanks and it makes more sense to me now...does that usually equates to faster lap times???
  4. for me its when i can almost fall asleep in a corner..meaning effortless...
  5. why change the gearing from stock?? for instance if someone is geared and im not ,going down one gear lower in a corner than the geared bike,will it be the same result and why not???
  6. i ride from late april to end of september and try to squeeze in as many as i can in those months...i will get about 15 to 20 this year so 3 to 4 per month....im in ottawa canada so lots of snow ...
  7. ...here it is i think...an RP is what ever makes you make that decision of braking,turning ect....could be as simple as a 100 feet of discolored pavement or something like gearing revs and all that...doesnt mean that it is actually a good thing since its so vague...i understand what Hub means by RP'S , if you want to get around a race track faster or if you want to get closer to race pace you need solid and specific RP'S ..if that makes any sense..
  8. welcome to the forum Darryl!!! i am fairly new here as well and also from canada....cheers..
  9. you need to be looking at something or feeling where youre at so i would say yes you need somekind of rps otherwise you would keep on going straight
  10. can or do you feel it before you lose the front in a corner???in other words can you stop it from happening??
  11. So far it is 7 for the lead and 3 to chase.... i guess we will never win a race if we are faster only when someone is faster than us....lmao
  12. i started this poll i should at least answer my own question..lol...i am faster when i try to follow someone a bit faster than me..gives me a target to shoot for and a goal...
  13. Ditto. I was riding my sportbike wanting to try track riding for over 2 years. One day I just decided to go try it, and I'm so into it now that I study what I can about track riding, and can't wait until my wife graduates so I can spread my wings and travel to different tracks. you are waiting for your wife to graduate???and pay for your track riding expenses i hope..lmao..man youre lucky That sounds good, but not it. She has years..... and years under her belt of college without a degree. Indecisive is the word I choose to use. She's in nursing school, and will be done soon enough. For the time being I'm paying everything, but when there are two nurses in the house, I'll be able to travel to different tracks and ride them. enjoy while you can before you have kids...then you'll be lucky to do a non local track..lol
  14. cant really answer your question but MAN im jealous...lol
  15. An RP has to be something one can use, in other words, what gives one the "feel" for where they are? C depth perception or looking far ahead at the turn"apex"
