Holy Trackday report, Thunderhill, Easter

I don't know man, I finally figured out how to open the GPS files on the videos.
The GPS is saying the same thing the Speedo was saying going down the straight.
Have a looksee

Then I need to be extra careful on the freeway and assume I don't have any margin when I roll past speed traps

What camera is that?

MB -- You should stand up the bike and drive out of turns harder.  E.g. T15 -- you hold your lean angle and exit mid-track.  You should take advantage of the bigger motor on your bike by taking away lean angle and then (with the reduced lean angle) rolling on the throttle harder.

Eobo -- looked like you were pushing a bit wide on the exit of T11.  Hold the turn a little longer / wait to get on the gas coming out of T11 so you can open up 12/13 and start your drive on to the back straight earlier.

Thanks Tigre!

Contour GPS 1080p HD
sort of works. It kept shutting off after 3-4 laps.
Tigre has one too. I wonder how his is working.

Not so great...  I think I'm figuring it out.  A few things:

1) cover one side of your battery with electrical tape in a thin layer.  The vibration from your bike can be a problem.
2) probably better to disable the GPS function -- I read today it can lead to corrupted video files (I had this happen to me a bunch today)
3) upgrade to the latest firmware

What's the point of having the GPS then geez ?
Too bad they don't have the bugs worked out. My old contour is bomb proof but only 720p

Been thinking about this one though it's king of big.

Same price better sensor.

Definitely still working on learning this bike.  Next trackday I'm taking some different lines--I started doing that at the end of the day last time.
