Crappy Laps

Me doing some crummy laps... I started out slow and got passed, decided to chill a little (haven't really had track time yet this year, last year's tires) and just work on my smoothness. Which lasted hardly any time before I wanted to chase down the guys who passed me. :)

We got a two-corner yellow and then got red-flagged. A Buell threw a chain through the engine case and oiled the whole hairpin, so that was the end of my night after only three 20-min sessions. I'd hoped to get a bit more riding in.

Locked up the rear tire trying to stop for the red flag, didn't see it right away as I was passing another bike.

Also moderately interesting early in the video is to see how much quicker a 1000 is on that short straight than a 600, since I allowed the rider to get by me, then decided to see if I could drag him down after letting him get a fair jump. Answer: yes.

First time with the helmet mount on the track, I think I like the results overall.
