Thank you for your input Jeremy. I will weigh it carefully vs not getting laid anytime soon and choose to ignore your suggestion.

So it the "bike" will revert back to its original purpose.... something to sit on to watch TV on

I think the wife might have a problem with me rolling it into the living room.

Photoreflect has the pictures up. I wasn't impressed with mine. Simply because I don't like the side angle. I like the front right/left and the rear right/left and not just straight on from the side. Makes me look faster.
All the angles I like were in the AM and i was just putting along

there are a total of 6 really terrible pics of me...
i didn't see any of Ryan, or Sara.
a couple of stubby.
I wanted pics to check out my head position.
i know it has improved but the pics i have up don't show it...
they have a line of pics in 1 corner only...
all in all. fotomotion failed miserably in my book.

There are a couple of Sara in there, but I don't remember the page #. I agree also, fotomotion sucked this time... lets pick the crappiest corner and lets take photos

They did have a series with me draggin knee on a lefty though. http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/orde...3030696&po=696 Don't know if it would be worth the $60 bucks for a cd or not Do they have more photos, just not on the web page?

They don't have any besides the site. I found a few of me. But I did notice it was on a corner where no one was dragging knee, it was either before or after the apex...

I would agree fotomotion suck this time..it might have been he didn't want to get all muddy trying to get to the good corners.... There was a a couple of me but none of them were in the apex.. I guess we cant complain to much the weather did clear for us the last half of the day!

Looks good to me (IMHO). At track school, we spent a lot of time talking about minimizing time at maximum lean angle and picking the bike up off the apex. It looks like that's what you're doing.

Thanks. I'll be honest though. I focused less on form this track day. I wanted to see a decent lap time so I had something to go off of next year. At about 85%, with a bum leg/foot, and cooler weather after raining, it might not be the best lap time to compare to next year if it's good conditions.

Thanks! There were some times when I could tell I was just doing it wrong and I had to struggle on the bike so I forced myself to at least spend part of the day in good form.

Re: Apex track day @ MMP Date: September 01st, 2008

When I was down there a few weeks ago, Nick towed me around the track to push my pace. I noticed that whatever form I might have started falling apart as I approached the limit of my abilities. However, I think my eyes are holding me up right now. I think I've developed some bad vision habits that I need to break.

BTW, what configuration did you guys run?

I know exactly what you're talking about. I attribute it to riding on public roads where you're constantly checking the road for debris, bad asphalt, etc rather than looking fully through the corner.

Yup!!!

Hey Hoz. Do you remember like 2 years ago when we were out on the full track what kind of lap times we, or you, were getting? My lap timer worked last weekend but I forgot what times I use to get.

I never had a lap timer on my bike back then so I don't know my times.
