I've moved them around quite a bit... still not quite comfortable with where they are. I don't know.
High rearsets + short legs make me a little awkward. Hahahaha no I meant the dude on the FZ1... the four of us were in a line and we all came up on him mid-corner... that's why the group shot became possible. Pete why did you use the drool smilie there... that's ![]()

Nice pics.
My first set of leathers had the velcro in a slightly odd location. Plus, due to my newness to track riding, my body positioning made for some pretty odd puck patterns. I experimented with puck location and ended up having the pucks halfway off the velcro patch, but it worked to keep it centered. In my case, my form was awful. As I learned how to position my body, my pucks finally moved back to the center of the patch. Now, I'm not saying your form is bad, so don't take that from it. However, I am saying to not worry about whether the pucks are exactly in the center of the patch, because that doesn't matter. It looks like you need to move the pucks more to the inside of your knee, rather than the outside. Give it a shot and see how that works. |

Nice pics, but you're saying you pussed out on riding the 1125... tsk tsk.
From what I've read, yes, you have to follow a control rider, but that control rider is fast and smooth. You would have gotten a good ride in, especially since you are used to a high revving no torque bike, which the 1125 is not. |

I know you don't have to drag knee but I like doing it just for the feel and to know where I'm at. Especially since due to the legs/rearsets issue I know to drag knee I need to be closer to max lean than a lot of folks... ![]() Now I'm not saying I lean my bike the absolute max that you can possibly do... but in these two pictures (captured from afternoon video from the track day at thunderbolt) you'll see I've got the bike cranked over pretty good like 50 degrees, and in both of these photos I am *just* skimming my knee, and as you can see I'm sticking it out as per my usual style. It just lets me know where I'm at: ![]() ![]() Again I appreciate any input people can give me... I know I need to get my head down more... that's the hardest thing for me especially when my body is getting tired. Quote:
You had to sign up, went out a lap or so late, ran a single file line around the track slower than I would have liked, and came in two laps early. I ran a few sessions on my friend's set-up 636... that was fun as hell.

That's my biggest problem. I start out with my head down low, but as the day goes on and I get tired it goes right back up to the center. Which means higher lean angles with less speed.
