Track Addiction Starts

[ashf00t]

@CBRking88 they only course I took was the beginners course. I had been riding year around for 3 years before I hit the track

[CBRking88]

well first off..you looked great out there. really comfortable for someones first time.

i am going to take some track lessons this summer at gingerman raceway in mich.. did you take any lessons?

[ashf00t]

@imsofly74 Oregon

[stllda909]

Great video. Luv the music.

[imsofly74]

what state is this

[StarbucksChunks]

I love how your fuel light is blinking at the track just like it is in a lot of your other videos.....LOL. I totally want to get a freaking bike now....

[40baby401]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but, if you haven't seen the DVD "TWIST OF THE WRIST 1&2" often referred to as the cornering bible then im sure you'll want to give it a look. I ordered it for myself as i have my little 250 ninja and now i bought another bike, a gixxer600 and i want to ride like you in this vid, wish me well :)

[sicknwrong]

Hey good job! i think you ride just great, nice lines. :D

[dreamcube09]

Great Video! I love the different camera angles and the music! Also, I am jealous of your bike, They have a 2011 GSX-R6 at my local dealership that is the same colors and I WANT IT! Don't want to spend $11,500 on a bike right now though. . . : (

[offerfish12]

Omfg i got 1:30 into the video before realizing you have Indiana Jones theme playing rofl

[marioldm]

You have proved me wrong. When I first saw you videos I thought, "Oh this is just some vlogger chick who can't really ride." Nonsense, you have great skills, keep it up and us youtube fans of yours will be cheering when you win your first AMA race.

[ashf00t]

@marioldm why thank you for the nice comment :)

[N756TA]

Hands down, my favorite video on YouTube.

[ashf00t]

@N756TA Aw, thanks!

[goose003]

wow i haven't seen U in forever or yur vids i mean damn its been awhile awesome riding girl. yur awesome. time to see more red flag so wat was it? crash?

[ashf00t]

@goose003 A chick on a 500 was riding fine all day but I guess freaked on the last session and ended up stopping dead center in the middle right before turn one so they red flagged the rest of the session :(

[ONESIKUSMC]

This circuit makes me really miss the WERA Race class. wish CMRA had tracks with good straights

[motodlorenzo]

Nice riding :-) I did my first track day a while back and can't wait to do it again. It is an addiction like none other. Awesome vid!

[MrHeyImyou]

Not to sound rude... but you've got a nice ass.

[FuckinCrazyness]

try taking it off C mode.  A mode all the time

[ashf00t]

@FuckinCrazyness sorry but my bike does not have that option. That is only found on '08s and newer. My bike is an '07

[easydoz1]

Yea, finally got to see your track day video. On my iphone it says it's unable to be viewed.

[323Andre22]

I REALLY enjoyed this video music fits you perfect!!

[Suzukimad07]

Brilliant vid m8

[mrnonameeeeeeo0]

NICE ASS!

[wise185]

i so want to get out there and do laps! but on a ninja 250! hehe

[Killamuf]

seems like a fun time...! good video.!

[peteninja24]

I wish I could do a track day, but the nearest track is a 6 hour drive (Phillip Island)

[GaryL7623]

fair play to you

[photoryder]

Very cool video. nice ridding!

[ThePu55ymonster]

Awesome vid!!!

[SuzookKING]

Track days are addicting :)

[shaqdaddy11]

man your leaning like a pro. Id be a bit scared to lean that much.

[evilbear1978]

@shaqdaddy11 That is probably, and I'm just guessing, that she hasn't had an accident on her bike yet. After my near-fatal one, I am still scared shitless to lean like I used to. Really takes the confidence and flushes it down the toilet. lol

But that was some great footage Morgan.

[shaqdaddy11]

@evilbear1978 Well man im glad your didnt lose your life and that your still able to ride. I personally suck very much at leaning and i think thats partly because i live in Delaware. There are no twisties to lean on. We got stright roads and the turns we have can be easily tackled without leaning super low. I mean from the video it looks like she leaning at a 35 degree angle , id say the lowest iv gone is a 60 degree.

[choorela]

Great music, Great camera angle, Great video editting and Great ridding!!!!!

[2008superduke]

Raiders :)

[108wolverine]

Nice riding ashf00t....I noticed you only had to tape up your turn signals on your rear views, normally you have to take them off. Did you take a class before getting on the track? KEEP IT UP!!!

[ashf00t]

@108wolverine I'm not sure what You mean by 'class'. If you mean learn how to ride a motorcycle no, but if you mean following an instructor around for half the day, then yes lol. And most track days here only require you to tape them up. I didn't take them off cause I'd also have to unplug the turn signals which is a pain to do.

[ecookman]

I remember when you wouldn't break like 5K on the revs and were like HA high revs now all you haters can suck it.

[ashf00t]

@ecookman haha, those where the days :)

[MrJuby85]

Thats awesome...

[Generic007atl]

MOAR!!! :)

[SafeRide82]

Damn girl! Looks like you've been doing this all life, at least for inexperienced riders (meaning me). ;D Keep up the awesome riding. :)

[StevenPersinger]

nice music selection haha

[MrCraves]

Nice vid.... decent body positioning an lines trhew corners.... all i was missing was seing those pads scrape againt the aspfhalt..... and hearing the engine squeel like its life depended on it

a minor pointer, u dont need clutch when shifting up, just aply preasure to the gear lever roll of the throttle and full throttle again, fast and smooth( the gearbox is made for shifting like that)

[zerokelvln]

Damnit now I have to do a track day now. That looked like so much FUN! No worries of other cars... big wide roads and sweeping turns... I might have a new addiction.

[Silencestolen]

AMA anyone?

[jabbacraig]

nice ride looked like fun,

[pizzaonaninja]

Fun as hell.

might give it a try some day..

[rincewind93]

very cool

[ashf00t]

@Generic007atl depends on the track. Anywhere from $150 to $300 or more.

[Generic007atl]

seems like a lot for just a single day but the track you were on was a little nicer than the one near me. thanks for the info!

[Generic007atl]

@ashf00t seems like a lot for just a single day. however your track is a lot nicer than the one near me. thanks for the info!

[ashf00t]

@Generic007atl Well there are fees you don't think about like renting the track, standby ambulance, free lunch, paying for the workers cleaning the track and cooking the food. And the instructors that were out there. Things add up so ya, that's pretty decently priced.

[Generic007atl]

i think ive watched this like 3 times now. its a lot of fun to watch :)

[javawocky]

Fantastic first outing :D - Speak to me again in mid winter when the 'drug' withdraw sets in and you start counting the days till the next track day. :( 2 more Months!, how many sleeps is that?

[darkstars2050]

Oh I see

[chickencoop297]

I can't watch it :(

[ashf00t]

@chickencoop297 The only people who can't watch this video would be people who live in Germany, people trying to watch it on an iPad or people trying to watch it on a mobile connection. The reason being, there are copyrighted songs in this video.

[daedalx]

Finally! A seat cam that is pleasant to watch.

[darkstars2050]

No iPad playback :(

[ashf00t]

@darkstars2050 Copyrighted songs don't work on mobile devices or iPads.

[banchas75]

Jealous!

[chrisingoodcompany]

even your camping chair was blue!! :)

[Birdcage67554]

Hey ashfoot where is this track at? im looking to find a sexy track like this, but im in North carolina so everything is for NASCAR type stuff?

[chuxanator]

@Birdcage67554 PIR (Portland International Raceway)

[ashf00t]

@Birdcage67554 This is in Portland, Oregon

[Vegedurden]

Nice ! Keep on rocking, Miss Foot :-)

[joewarcupinhull]

Well done morgan :D

[draven3907]

Hi ash, i was looking at your vid's, and your good!!!. I like your new video at the track, i know you had fun.seeing you at the track reminded me when i was going to Keith Code Superbike

school at the thunderbolt raceway, i had some much fun.

keep doing your thing

[draven3907]

i love it

[drecali24]

man i been waiting for a new vid cant wait to get my bike and i see your riding is getting better i learn a lot from you i hoped on my friends and rode it with no problems and it was my first time on a motorcycle

[azwakko]

cool video looks like you had a great time

[ninjasa1]

wow.....good for you!! How fun!! I”ve been recently thinking of taking my Ninja out on the track as well. Enjoy :)

[nakazazaza]

this looks very ... well high def but the rider looks unconfident and stiff on the bike. nice fotage though, realy like the quality

[Tronix102]

rofl nice music

[orion2k9]

hey ashf00t, where do you buy those front brake fluid covers at? i see them in a bunch of videos and was just wondering....thanks!

[ashf00t]

@orion2k9 You can buy them anywhere, it's just a wristband for sweat lol

[arstovicek]

@dzij4 It's her low fuel warning light. It's one of Ashfoot's video signatures as she rarely thinks about her subscribers unless she's low on gas. ;)

[ashf00t]

@arstovicek awesome reply :)

[dorseyeliana]

WOW VERY NICE

[pulse0000]

Awesome vid Ash.When i heard the Indiana Jones theme i was kind of expecting you to ride around the track wearing a brown fedora and hitting other riders with a bullwhip.

[OkiHondaGirl]

Don't run out of gas! LOL!! Bad ass, Morgan!!! Let's do a track day next season! Rachael and I will tow up there to PIR to ride with you and Jenny!

[ashf00t]

@OkiHondaGirl lol you know that was the last session girl! Don't be trickin'! Let's do it!

[lampingromeo]

Great vid Ash! didn't know you can keep the mirrors on as long as they're taped up. :) you taped him up pretty good! gotta do a track day soon! :D

[ashf00t]

@lampingromeo They had to look perfect! I was getting my picture taken! :D

[mimito92]

woow you are champion ash !!!

[ToastToGo]

Hahaha the picture of your photographer friend is hilarious. Great video, get it get it!

[ashf00t]

@ToastToGo haha ya he's cool :)

[Cbr0Rider]

Great riding!!! looks like so much fun :D

[cwizard03]

Very cool video, you look great out on the track, so when do we see you in MotoGP then :-) 

[ashf00t]

@cwizard03 pfft, till YOU give me about 20,000 bucks to buy a new bike, add parts and race prep.  Oh and don't forget the track fees and a trailer to transport the bike :p

[blukcirtap]

@ashf00t Let's start with learning how to ride a bike';-) anyone can twist their wrist.. but the real skills come to play with cornering.. and supersports are built for cornering.. it brings tears to my eyes that people buy supersports and dont know how to corner.. i respect you and your vlog's and this is not really a negative comment or a personal thing.. but i just think that you are a bit overhyped when it comes to skills

[ashf00t]

@blukcirtap You know that the guy was joking right? I say in no way that I'm a skilled racer, but people can and will believe what they want to believe. This video was also my FIRST track day, NOT my 50th...no I have not scraped my knee pucks even till this day! I'm not claiming that I'm super fast and I'm not claiming that I can lay my bike over far enough without lowsiding, but I will have you know that after that track day, all of my strips on the wheel were gone. I'm not sure where you

[ashf00t]

@blukcirtap ...are getting that I'm "overhyped" I don't see it. These are my subscribers, so they like to give me positive feedback and not try to bring me down. Also in this video, I'm in "C" group, the slowest group. They separate by A, B, and C. Again, there is no way I can put my skills fully to the test until I've ridden this track at least 50 times because for me, this was just like riding the road, I don't know what to expect until I can actually visualize what's around that next corner.

[WildBill1006]

ohhh that looks like so much fun. I am really jealous of you right now...

[theninjakid10]

Hey Ash, several of your videos don't allow playback on iPhones, including this one. Bummer :-)

[ashf00t]

@theninjakid10 that is due to having copyrighted songs on my videos sometimes :/

[CBaileyII]

PSSSSSSST......4:00 you need gas!!! lol

Like the tail view, not cause we get to check out your @ss, but more cause I like to see how other people position themselves going into corners!! Nice video, keep em coming!!

[poisedonis]

I like the different views of the camera

[boothracing03]

@ashf00t if you would pull the gears longer you would be much faster on the straight aways

[ashf00t]

@boothracing03 oh believe me, I already know this. I wasn't paying attention to my gauges and so when I went back to watch the videos I was disappointed that I wasn't using all of my RPMs :(

[boothracing03]

@ashf00t I see.. Well be carefull and show all the guys out there up :) .. nice vid anyways.

[Linussbugg]

So jealous Wanting to do a trackday myself but need to buy a leather suit first (which isn't as high on my priorities as I'd like...)

[ashf00t]

@Linussbugg ya, I started off with just a leather jacket then got my leather pants a year later that zip together.

[prezessikora]

Did you manage to drag the knee?

[ashf00t]

@prezessikora sadly, no. I'll be trying on my group ride this weekend though, now that I know how far I don't lean off the bike lol

[spidey20]

why do you have to cover the headlight with tape?

[Thomazz46]

@spidey20 If you crash, there won't be any glass on the track...

[ashf00t]

@spidey20 what Thomazz said :)

[justusantonyjose1991]

IndianaASHFOOT :D lolz the music

[ExportAli]

Your bike is barely breaking a sweat :P

[Gen49671]

Awesome ash!

[tosic92]

Fast and furious, nice expirience Ashfoot :)

[spidey20]

i have those exact same gloves !xD

[WoWashikabi]

@spidey20 You share them with her? :O

[spidey20]

@WoWashikabi yes i ship them every other day :P

[4tmosk]

What camera did you use to take the stills?

[ashf00t]

@4tmosk one was a Canon Xsi and my boyfriend was using my Canon T2i with a 55-250mm lens.

[4tmosk]

@4tmosk Cool, thanks, yeah those stills were gorgeous

[ashf00t]

@4tmosk Editing also goes a long way ;)

[adoniscomplex]

Was anyone keeping track of lap times?

[ashf00t]

@adoniscomplex na, this was relaxed, I'm sure I could time it with my video but the track day for me was about learning the track and getting correct lines down.

[select899]

Until you fall off and realize that it really hurts when you do. /sadface

[Kooletz71]

is that a suzuki seat cowel you have on your bike

[ashf00t]

@Kooletz71 yup, it came with the bike.

[kd4ysi]

looks like you had a blast morgan

[harp1725]

@Crimsonterminator100

It's just something they do at track days. I don't actually know the real reason but I'm pretty sure there is something on google regarding this, lol.

Sorry man that's all I can say:)

[Wonderboy0987]

Oh, and the watermark got cropped off huh?? ;)

[ashf00t]

@Wonderboy0987 that's what stupid Movie Maker did! I didn't mean to but when I realized what happened It was too late :(

[Newtttton]

what is the flashing LED at 2:49 on your dash?

[Skeeterman42087]

@Newtttton Gas light

[mattie5489]

@Newtttton as gas sloshes around when you tilt the bike the gas warning light comes on

[Crimsonterminator100]

why is your headlight covered?

[intdawg]

@Crimsonterminator100 required by most track org's in the US so that there is no debris from shattered lenses on the track surface if someone crashes.

[kairles]

@Crimsonterminator100 most track day providers require you to tape and/or disable your lights as it could be a distraction. They also recommend you remove or tape up your mirrors, and for new track day go'ers they recommend taping the speedo also.

Nice vid, good addiction to have. Track day is cheaper than a ticket.

[Dakan69]

@kairles Is it cheaper? How much do tires cost?

[ashf00t]

@Dakan69 track days around here range from $150 to $200 per day. Tires are about $200 for the set.

[kairles]

@Dakan69 Most people aren't fast enough to require a set of tires every track outing(although I know some people who are) most will get 2000 street miles and about 2 track days on a set of tires. My last ticket was just under $500(70 in a 45) my last track day was right around $400 with me renting a truck. So yes it is cheaper.

[Dakan69]

@kairles Wow - $500 for 25 over? You'd only get about half that amount where I live (Florence, SC).

[Crimsonterminator100]

@kairles Hmm thanks and another question covering the speedo is to prevent first trackers from speeding too much??

[kairles]

@Crimsonterminator100 No its so they don't look at the speedo. They dont want you looking at how fast your going. They want you to concentrate on things like, body position, braking points, etc.

[Crimsonterminator100]

@kairles Oh cool thank you again

[Wonderboy0987]

Did you have to put such a flattering picture of me at the end there...So nice LOL

[ashf00t]

@Wonderboy0987 yup! :) I like that pic!

[Wonderboy0987]

@ashf00t Me to actually! Its my bazooka!

[Newtttton]

Your 142 mph is fake and probably is like 120 mph. Get speedohealer to get real top speed.

[ashf00t]

@Newtttton this I know :( but its still cool to see even if I don't have a speedo healer.

[icpchad]

@Newtttton - I've tested my CBR speedo against radar signs and according to them it's accurate.

[dsmith308]

@icpchad Its probably not linear. At highway speeds it is only a little off but by the time you reach 142 its off by a lot more.

[icpchad]

@dsmith308 - Hmmmm, interesting. And I didn't know that. ;-) Thanks.

[CBRsix]

@Newtttton No way is a factory speedo that far out, 22 mph difference no chance, it would be at worst 5-6 mph out

[vegasstreetriders]

Good on ya, Ash!!!

[LUDACHRl5]

whose that chick?

[Snowhite808]

DR Jones sen. would be proud of this discovery ;)

[TheCodiebarone]

ah i would love to give a track a try some day when i am more confident with my riding

[Kawajedi]

awesome vid ASH.

Looks like someone had a lot of fun....

[mureleeish]

Haha great music ;)
