That makes sense. Communication is key.

The passes was not an issue for this particular session. For me it was more in the morning sessions when the clowns were out and about. I hear you on the looking around part. But like i said before and Ethereal's vid clearly shows this. Some of the passes were just outrageous. I hope to take...

Agreed. Great info. Thanks for sharing

Wow. That was nuts. Too close man. They should have yanked him from the track. Thanks for posting this up so the "others" can see.

Too close and too risky. Thats for sure.

Absolutely!!! I keep hearing about this video - lol. Upload it bro :)

Good point. But we were informed during the meeting not to overtake on corners. So that is what we expected. But yeah i understand what you saying.

Appreciate the feedback. Thank You. My knee did not touch the ground so i honestly don't feel i was leaned over too much. But yes, i do feel that the tire did not grip as expected. Tire pressures were checked before and was 28 rear and 33 front. One thing for sure, it was definitely cooler...

Yup. Was definitely a circus out there.

Absolutely. I could not have said it better. John clearly stated that there is no passing on the corners only on the straights. Like you said, the Marshalls failed to obey this which caused a lot of riders to be nervous because of this. I pointed out a girl on a 250 i think. The Marshall says...

Funny guy.

If it was on the front then you wouldn't get to see the drama that unfolded...lol. That's me doing some acrobatics lol There are so many go pro mounts on this bike its sad. Lol. Will try the front facing one next year. Bike appears to be in okay shape. Left side fairing is scratched up, crank...

Agreed on the looking behind you part. With practice i will get this out of my system. Trusting other riders is what i need to get used to. Thanks for sharing the vid. Makes complete sense.

Tire pressures suggested to me by more senior riders were 33 front 28 rear. Is that okay? I had the suspension setup for my weight. Is there someone that you recommend that does a top notch job?

Watched it again, and yes, slightly crossed up. Agreed on the head position. I need to work on the left side. I feel much more comfortable on the right. I think the FAST course 1 & 2 is on the calendar for next year for better body positioning.

Interesting. Good to know. Thanks for the information.

Knee did not touch down. The shoulder checks were because of other riders passing on corners. Riders meeting stated to pass on the straight. I don't recall chopping the throttle. All i remember is the rear stepping out and then over i went.

Good pointers. Appreciate it. Knee did not touch down though. Yes to street tires.

It's a street bike - Bridgestone S21 (new in May 2017)

No brakes at all. I don't recall cutting the throttle either.
