Sportbike Track Time Advanced group session 5. Lap times are relatively slow in the 1:38 range. Would be a little faster if I had put a tire on with some life left in it.

  • Single handedly restoring Kawasaki's name. Strong work out there!

  • @speedwasinvolved11 :) Thanks!

  • what bike is this?

  • @ricoco750 08 ZX-10R

  • At 3:50 it says "it's not always fun and games..." I'm not sure what you meant. Then it looks like chunks of rubber fly up? I thought maybe it was your tire blew but then everything was fine and you continued to pass everyone in sight. So what did that mean? Anyway nice riding.

  • @lowlypawn thanks! Going into Turn 5 (many people incorrectly call it turn 4) I hit a bump or simply got on the brakes too hard and lifted the back tire off the ground. At 4:02 - 4:04 you'll see the angle of the camera change indicating the back wheel is off the ground. The tire doesn't set back down inline with the front and causes a weave. Handling all this takes attention away from downshifting and turning. Once that was over, I just remember the bump and carry on.

  • @gkgorman yeah.. i wondered about that,.,.. looked a little too powerfull for a 600! :) nice laps man!

  • Nice riding. Looked like about :38s?

    Backing it in to T5 is about as much fun as you can have on a bike I think LOL

    It was deff a slower A group. In fact All the groups were a bit slower than usual that weekend it seemed. I was there coaching (lead novice sat, Int sunday)

  • nice video, seems to me you were hauling some ass. i was in the intermediate group that weekend. it was my first time at barber, but not my last.

  • @Pittimus84 it was a slower A Group because all of the racers were at Road Atlanta racing in WERA
