Title: Cornerspeed Level I Post by: dolci on August 05, 2009, 03:25:26 AM The monster is ready to go - I've got all my gear - first time on the track (and a little bit nervous)
Title: Re: Cornerspeed Level I Post by: zooom on August 05, 2009, 03:50:54 AM yep...I did all her track prep for the bike last night and got it all drilled,wired, taped and otherwise squared away....and then we did some chatting about body position and placement of things while the bike was on stands last night.
she may be nervous...but I have a feeling she is gonna rock da haus! Title: Re: Cornerspeed Level I Post by: Cider on August 05, 2009, 08:27:11 AM I have some nervous excitment every time I go, and I suspect most people do. It seems to go away after the first lap, and then it's nothing but fun.
Title: Re: Cornerspeed Level I Post by: mostrobelle on August 05, 2009, 10:53:27 AM I'm nervous for every trackday, and I've done more than a few by now. Recognize it as your brain kickin' in and take it easy until the butterflies go away a little bit. You're going to have a lot of fun and learn tons. [thumbsup]

I have a terrible tendency of waking up at 3:30 in the morning all ready to go. Not good especially when you need all your rest. And I'm definitely not a morning person! Being nervous is good. It'll help keep you in line. Too nervous is another thing.

Great book, many, many ways to apply it to riding. Have fun out there [moto] Title: Re: Cornerspeed Level I Post by: Cider on August 15, 2009, 04:46:02 PM Hope your track day went well! I'm driving down to MMP tomorrow for Ienatsch's Yamaha school and have my own nervous excitement thing going on tonight.
