Pics from trackday

[06800SS]

I put up a few pics in the photo gallery from a track day I did at Summit Shenandoah circuit a few weeks ago...

Great photos. How did it handle out there?
I haven't tracked mine yet but cannot wait to do so.

Not bad, could have used a bit more top end as it pretty much topped out 2/3 down the long straight... but that's OK 125 even with the windscreen isn't real pleasant for real long anyways so I'm thinking 140 might be a bit more than I'd want to deal with on it.
Started out dragging the pegs some in the 1st session, 2nd session I got my ass over further where it belonged and all was good even lightly tapped my knee sliders a few times... no grinding just light scuffs
Honestly it was a small crowd and I was a 75% rider in the midst of 95%'ers so I really couldn't say how well it did, but I got the feeling if I knew how to ride not much could have hung with me other than on the straights. I'm taking the SS next time I run that circuit to compare.

I drug a peg on my way home from work the other day, figured I was hanging off enough but apparently not. The ergo's are so different to my 675 track bike (obviously) that it feels like I'm up in the clouds still even when I'm off the bike as much as I dare to be.
I was thinking the Duc racing seat and the new Woodcraft Hyper rearsets might have me "feeling it" a little more. Just a shame it's gonna cost me my left arm to buy it all.
