@louisbosco Any big takeaways from your time on the track? Things you’ve been doing right or wrong that will make you a better rider?
I bet knowing your machine and its limits has to be one of the biggest lessons.
Edit: How fast are you? Middle of the pack, faster…surprised yourself in either regard?

as this was a pretty small group (about 30-40riders I reckon), it was just split into 2. which gave a lot of people decent track space.
A - People with previous Sepang Circuit experience (more seasoned riders)
B- First timers at Sepang circuit. (Including me)I was top of that B pack, as I have track experience (racing lines, braking point etc) although not with bikes.
Through chatting more season riders clock anywhere between 2:25 and 2:35. and my best lap of the way was 2:43, which most have mentioned is very decent for a first timer. My average over the day would be between 2:45-2:50.
Through feedback as well, I've found that my lean angles have greatly improved. But the biggest takeaway would be confident and to find a later braking point/ trail braking and also perfecting the leaning into slower corners..

Oh and also motorsports is an expensive hobby. Swapped a fresh set for this track day and I’ve maybe gone through 80-85% of the useable life of the tyre. That said, I’m hoping to do another weekend in May or June maybe.. with some upgrades

Oh nooooo, this forum isn’t content to become my dressing rabbit hole, @louisbosco is intent on also turning it into a motorcycling one too!!

Motorcycles? I loves me some motorcycles.
Here I am on my ‘74 Commando a couple years ago on the Moto Melee. I’m wearing my trusty 634s, of course.

Yesterday I was gifted with a fantastic stormy sunset over the salt lake flats as I neared Uyuni for the night. Made my bike look prettier than usual.

@motojobobo Nice shot,but next time try getting down low,even sit on the ground to shoot the bike. Just a different perspective,and how they shoot bikes in the MC magazines.

@motojobobo Love this picture. Sometimes it’s the simple things like a beautiful sunset that makes riding a motorcycle so special. Thanks for sharing!
