So to explain my day in two words, holy shit!!!! Trackday at Eastern Creek, didnt crash!!! :peace: First session in white group = passed about 5 guys, round the outside of a gsxr1000 at turn 18 on my third ever lap!!!! :rockon: , Second session in white group = passed about 10 guys, then red flagged for someones crash at turn 5. (was just getting really comfortable).:plane: Third session in white group went out about 20th and passed heaps of people!!!!! (time to move up and i just felt comfortable, smooth and was just trying things out). First session in yellow = passed 4 or 5 people!!! Playing with 1000s is fun and wheelies start happening out of turns 3, 5, up the hill onto old 8 and turn 18. I was giving it the gas progressively/nice and early!!!! Next session in yellow group after a brief hiatus and a chat with dad, time to focus on body position and leaning, trying to be smooth everywhere and it worked out really well!!! Started shutting off the throttle at the 200 board for turn 1 and braking at the 150 board for turn 2, more power wheelies and only out braked myself twice.........AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How the heck do you guys pass each other into turn 1??? its insanity:faint: Have to say turn 3,4 and 5 is my favourite aswell as back onto old turn 8 up the hill. Oh and 265km/h on the speedo!!!!! LOL might be just a little bit out of whack on dads EC gearing but still it said 265 so thats what i did!!! :peace:

[Mr.Ed]

Awesome stuff mate!! It seems you 'may' have had fun...:madgrin: But if you have time to look at your speedo you're not going fast enough hahahaha j/k I have a look too but usually on the exit, just as I go WOT out of the corner. It doesn't mean much but it gives me an idea of whether I was fast enough or not (usually the latter)

[shippy__]

lol your stuffed now...... hooked forever

[Carl-52]

just a little fun :P just took a single glance at the speedo, but i liked passing people more, outside, inside, on the brakes, on the power is guuuuuuuuudd.

[chubb]

Well done Carl@!! passing on the inside of one requires commitment..!!

[chubb]

also careful with your front wheel off the tar!! 2.05 inches and they complain!!!

[Carl-52]

Just power wheelies, it seems that i get on the gas hard and early whilst picking the bike up.

[Medic!]

Ha gotta love that. Sounds like you'll be dreaming of ec tonight. That's if you can settle down enough to sleep. :whoo::rockon::clap:

[Carl-52]

Most probably, cant wait untill the 19th and 20th now
