Here's some footage of me riding yesterday at Autobahn Country Club, full course. I was riding in group 1 of the novice sessions. I'm glad I took some footage, because now I can more easily see where I'm missing the race line.

They're track-side condos, with the entire first floor being garage space. Upper floors are lounges, bars, and bedrooms.

ChrisK, Great Video!! You can clearly see how much work your front suspension is doing. Track days are the perfect environment for learning what your bikes capable of and what your limitations are. I like to say, "You never win at trackday, but you can lose everything". Speed will come with experience. Purchase comfortable and affordable PPE, then get some suspension tuning and some aggressive front brake pads. In the Novice / Beginner, class you'll learn that you will pass more people on the brakes, than on the straights. Racingj

Great footage!! Buddy in front of you has good form, except he needs to tuck on the straights Smiley
