Phillip Island on occasions and Broadford which is the more regular one.
Unfortunately you have to book Phillip island 3-4 weeks out and the weather is crazy there so if its raining your paying to ride in the wet. Broadford is a litle more cost effective and can book 3 days out which almost assures good weather.
Also Phillip Island is so fast. I find it difficult to push as SRs kick in way before the bike limits. Broadford is a slower track and I feel like I'm learning more there.

I have been trying to practice wide vision. Not fixating on a point but trying to push my vision out.
I have managed to do it a little on the track (wish I could get more track time) and seems to have given me the ability to enter corners quicker. I'm trying to practice it while driving a car.
It makes me feel like I am staring and that I have less focus. Makes me almost feel dumb, or my mind is turned off like I am slow or doughy or almost sleepy. Kind of scares me a little.
Has anyone else experienced this notable state of mind change? Am I doing it wrong?

Hi all.
I first knew of Keith back in 1995 when I ran into him on an internet chat forum. I was racing dirt track and he hit me with some pretty simple questions like "how do you make your bike turn?" I probably gave the typical dumb ass answer.
1u years later I find myself with a track bike and buy a copy of TOTW2. Wow. Awesome. I only wished I had have had this book back when I was racing dirt track.
Happy riding.

Thanks everyone. Really helpful.
I'll keep on at it. Some useful drills I think. I know its a good thing just after 16 years of driving and even longer riding it takes effort to relearn the best way to see.
