WTF was with that guy at the 1:00 mark? He wasn't even leaning off the bike? Also hitting the curbing at 3:05 looked a little scary. I'm going to ride this track for the first time next weekend. I've never ridden a track with a high speed chicane. That's the turn that worries me :). Anyway nice videos.
@lowlypawn thanks! yeah, hitting the curbing was def. an oh shit moment! i don't know what the guys deal was at the 1:00 mark. the chicane is insanely fun, but fuck does it take a lot out of you to get the bike to turn. i've never looked down at the speedo, but i'd say i'm doing roughly 120+mph through there. i'll be out there this sat. 8-28. can't wait!!!
I was just there this weekend lol! Good riding man! Turn 1 scares the shit outta me still haha...i did exactly what you did and ran over the rumble strip..not fun!
Getting pretty fast dude. I can tell you're not too comfortable just by hearing some of the shifting action. Crazy how you hit the rumble strips T1 at over 100 mph. Def a "oh shit" moment for sure.
ha thanks! the crappy shifting is from wearing brand new boots. they had a completely different feel from my previous pair and really messed me up a bit. the rumble strip was def. an OH SHIT moment. lol.
it may appear close in the video, but i was about 5 ft. away from him. he had his left arm up, signaling he was going to exit. i think he had mechanical failure.
@zm5431 If you look you can see the guy had his arm out which means he is going to pit, so he was not going to pull out into the riding line. Why he was going so slow I don't know, he could of had a mechanical and was coasting.

I somehow always miss you by a day, at fontana, at buttonwillow, or SOW. I was there on Oct 30. The Kawai you passed going into T12 is my friend.

that was me. You were fine - plenty of room. I had my left arm up keeping decent speed at the far left. I was going in to make adjustments.
