Fast laps, Shannonville June 13/10

I did a GoLo Sunday this time around. Had some excellent quality laps in the morning and established myself as one of the quickest riders (maybe the?) and then decided to take some video.

Well... the video came out pretty well, but let me tell you, if you hear some cursing and see the bike do some bad lines, it's because I had the camera on. I swear, I stopped being able to ride the bike properly when I was thinking of how to make the video better.

All the same, about halfway through the video I worked my concentration back to a level to do some decent riding and caught the pack, started moving through it. It's really the better part of the video.

A wee little 100mph wheelie at the end... :)

Then I took the camera off, went faster STILL and on the sixth lap locked the front tire, which tossed me and the bike pretty good... mostly cosmetic damage and a little pride.

Dude - I'd HIGHLY recommend the California Superbike School. I've done the FAST school and its crap by comparison. In the UK, where I did mine, most riders are quicker than the one's I've encountered in N.America and even they said it was the best £400 they ever spent! They teach you how not to crash basically on track, among other things too of course. Cheers!

@StigRossi : Despite some of the sloppy riding in this video, I'm really better than that... I was riding so far off my comfort zone with the camera on, I sped up probably 20 seconds a lap when I started actually riding. But still, I could always benefit from some more training and I'm considering taking a flight out west to take part in a Code course as you mentioned. Thanks for watching.
