I dunno what happened...but the problem seems to be fixed! I think that it was timing out. So thanks to who ever fixed it!! BCNU

Thanks for all your help guys...I think you maybe right Harnios...over thinking the process and 'psyching' myself out. I'll definitley try ALL suggestions, but not for a while though. I attended a weekend track day, rode the track all day Sat & Sun applying the drills from L1 feeling pretty good (even had one of the fast guys come and shake my hand, commenting on how smooth I was). Anyway, decided to ride my bike home and part way down the hwy my bag fell off the bike. So I pulled over on the shoulder to go get it...as I swung my leg over the bike, my pant leg got caught on something (bungee/peg?) and down I go... rt hip hit the pavement and Lt hip kept going until it hit the shoulder of the road. "CRACK" broke my femour! Required surgery and a little hardware to repair. So it looks like I'll have plenty of time to re-read the Twist books again! Thanks again all... BCNU

WOW...those were great articles, thanks Bullet. Forgive my ignorance all...but is the 40/60 rule even possible on a declining curve? Aren't you always fighting gravity? I'm no mathematician, but because your pitched forward wouldn't the weight transfer be more like 70/30 before applying TC, which leads me to think I would need to be slightly a little more aggressive with TC -yes/no? What if I just cracked the throttle on and 'held' it instead of rolling it on - would the increased speed of forward momentom transfer some of the weight? BCNU

Hey 636 I crack it on the second I'm leaned over, by mid point I'm starting to go wide at times shutting down the throttle (SR#1) then the bike really unsettles, then I roll it back on again realizing that I used SR#1. I'll give your sugestion a try. Thanks for the advice BCNU

I have this problem when exiting clover leafs...If I practice TC by rolling it on smoothly, evenly and consistently, I tend to pick up way too much speed and ru super wide. Entering is not a problem, it's uphill and throttle control feels really good. So how do I get the bike in the 40/60 zone without scaring the ###### out of myself and still applying TC? Being a downhill curve isn't there extra load on the front? I've tried to refer back to the Twist books...and it states that appling rear brake is very tricky. Any and all sugestions are appreciated. Thanks, BCNU

Why is it evertime I post a Question, I get booted off and loose all of my text? It takes me a long time to type all of this out and it is super frusterating to keep loosing it all! BCNU This has happened 3 times all ready

Thanks AQAJR

Hey Cobie, or Anyone who knows I have a Q reguarding the photographer at the schools...Is he the same for all of the CSS schools or are there different photographers at each venue? The reason I ask, I missed the pictures when doing L1 & 2 and was wondering if there was a chance of ordering pictures from him via web site or e-mail ? Thanks, BCNU

Thanks Dom and Steve, My first trackday will be in Hastings, Neb.( not til the first weekend in May). It looks like a wicked track, I can hardly wait til we meet (the track and I) lol. I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes. In the meantime...has anyone on the forum been to that track?...any tips? Thanks guys and gals... BCNU

Thanks Dom and Steve, My first trackday will be in Hastings, Neb.( not til the first weekend in May). It

Hi BC, How about just doing one thing at a time, as the major focus? If you are going to a new track, getting to know it and its turn/parts is where many start, that could be step 1. CF Got it...1.Get to know the track. Thanks C Also a friend suggested that I also work on the no breaks drill for a better part of the day. Is that something that I should also work on? I really appreciate your opinion, thanks again! BCNU

I have done L1&2 and have NO trackday experience. That being said, I've learned alot at the school... so much that I really have no clue where to start?? What is the NO.1 skill/drill should I start with? TC?...Read the track?...RP?...should I work on a multitude of drills at once or stick to a specific drill til I nail it?? At this point I'm not all that interested in speed, I'd rather concentrate on proper techniques...Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, BCNU

hey there all, New to the forum...so to answer your Q Cobie...The reason that I do not post much is because No.1...I can't type that fast (2 fingers lol) and No.2...I haven't done any trackdays yet...starting this summer (first one at Hastings,NB in May). OK...So here is my first Question...not sure where specifically to post this ??... I have done L1&2 and have NO trackday experience. That being said, I've learned alot at the school... so much that I really have no clue where to start?? What is the NO.1 skill/drill should I start with? TC?...Read the track?...RP?...should I work on a multitude of drills at once or stick to a specific drill til I nail it?? At this point I'm not all that interested in speed, I'd rather concentrate on proper techniques...Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, BCNU

Thanks Briang, muchly appreciated!

Hey there, just new to the club Just did levels 1&2 in Vegas and was wondering if I could get a copy of the track course or have it posted in the forum somewhere. I tried to look it up under Track directions and accommodations (Sign Up), but there is nothing for Las Vegas Motor Speedway. As a matter of fact, I get resouce not found (Autobahn Country Club/VIR). Thanks for your help, BCNU...next year...and the next year...and the year after that...I'm a lifer now. Any chance you offer a frequent buyers card??? Say... buy 5 and get one free! Just a thought? LOL
