3rd EVER and final trackday in 2013 Progress report

[Carl-52]

Sooo (sing in 12 days of christmas tune)......
On my third day of trackdays, my r6 gave to me, one used up tyre, two false neutrals, and a KNEE DOWN on turn 3.... also 2, 5 and 10 and 18, a crash at turn one (at 1km/h) and a very very happy chappy... :)

Seriously though, best day ever... Even though i dropped the bike (absolutely no damage!!!!!!!!) i got my body position just right, lines are flowing and smooth and i even got to follow both Greg Zacconne and Mark Weaver... I even passed Weavle on Wade Lewis' "goof" HAHA it didnt last for long :P

Time to move up to green group seeing as though the guys in yellow were holding me up abit and i GOT MY KNEE DOWN!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!! 3rd trackday EVER!! and i got a knee down around 2, 5, 10 and 18. Never would have thought i would have been here after 3 trackdays..... STOKED!!!! Cheers Stu23!!!!!

A crash at T1 going 1km/h? :wacko: I'm sorry... but what? lol Further explanation please...P.S. :roll: thumbs up for the rest!

[Carl-52]

well, im going full throttle to the 150 mark now, so i backed off the gas and went to drop it into 5th gear and i got a false neutral!!!! (was wearing dads old Gaerne boots and i couldnt feel the gear lever as much as my other now broken boots). So i tried to get it back into 6th to make the corner and when i let the clutch out it locked up the rear..... so i pulled the clutch in and decided i would do a bit of grass tracking straight off the track. Managed to stop the bike Juuuuust before the first gravel trap and just as i was turning the bike the rear dropped into the gravel whilst the dash read 1km/h. i then promptly fell on my arse but kept the bike from hitting the deck hard. Ran over to the wall and sat out the last 4 laps. Received Cheers and applause from the other staff guys when i returned!!!

Dammit... I'm not even a dad (knock on wood) and I have to admit I agree with the elderly above. Don't rush it, learn as much as you can from each group (except white where all you learn is that there's a lot of ppl who shouldn't own bike) and you'll be fine, mate.

A wise man once said "you don't get faster by moving up, you move up because you got faster"**


**that wise man was me... thank you very much, peeps.
