      @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!

          @Denman-John Completely agree as well as some of the smells that you can experience such as the smell of a fresh cut field or the air after a rain.

                          @Denman-John will try to do a video of one full lap once I get my bike back and figure out the lap data from there. Will probably also pick the best 😂

                          Full lap video of the final lap I was doing. Lap time and telemetry from the bike below..

                            @louisbosco What a f'n rockstar!! Two things: around 35 seconds you do a head shake like you weren't happy with something. What was it?

                            Around 2:25 you're coming out of a turn and it looks like you're starting a speed wobble. Was that just the camera or did you come out of the corner too hard?

                              refer to map below.

                              0:35 was a double hairpin, turns 1 and 2. it's hard to nail the apex entry and exit on the second. had a late apex in mind but felt I had gone in too early and just wasn't happy.

                              2:25 on the exit of 14, was the front lifting. if you look at the telemetry, that was the 1 degree of yaw. 😂 😂 14 is also a tricky corner that requires you to go deep and turn for a late apex out.

                              fwiw, all electronic reins were set at 2. low but not the lowest. including electronic brake, wheelie, traction control etc..

                                      @louisbosco So I’ve been thinking about the 2:25 minute mark (exit 14) quite a bit and wondering what you did/or should do to keep from losing control.

                                      Do you:

                                      1. Stay in it and ride it out
                                      2. Slip the clutch and slightly roll off the throttle to bring the front end back down
                                      3. Slightly drag the rear brake to bring the front end down
                                      4. Let the electronics figure it out and enjoy the ride.

                                      I would have been seriously sweating bullets at those speeds and am impressed you rode it out. I really don’t think I could have and have no clue what I would or should be doing in that situation.

                                          @Jett129 I don’t know if it would because the front end was lifting. Feathering the front brake may shift the balance slightly bringing the bike back under control, but I really have no idea what you should do.

                                          It looks like the bike has a steering dampener which would keep the bars from doing a tank slap which is what would truly scare the crap out of me. I’ve seen a few videos of violent tank slap episodes and I don’t know how anyone rides that out.
