Great shot and nice replica paint job! Who did your work?

OK, it wasn't my first trackday... it was my second. I took a 2 day Novice Track class and these pictures were taken on the second day. Unfortunately, I do not know who painted the bike, I bought it this way. Thanks for looking.

Not bad, might want to try getting off the seat a little more.

And your bike looks great!

Great looking bike mate, got the same paintscheme myself here in the UK. Just need some matching leathers and then enough bottle to take on a trackday

That's exactly what I'll be working on on my next trackday. It's funny how pictures tell the truth, I "thought" I was off the seat but, after looking at the pics, I can go a whole lot more off, plus I need to work on my head placement too. I can see why all my friends say that I'll be addicted to track riding.

Nice pics. Did ya get the bike off ebay recently?

Track progression is a great thing. I have seen many a rider run out of tire when not hanging off enough. You don't have to be going fast, especially at Barber.

Great pics! Bike looks awsome.

No. I did see that on eBay though. I bought this RC51 here in Northern California at a fraction of what the eBay bike was going for.

When is that next track day? I think it should be here: Zoom Zoom Trackday NorCal Dec. 7th at Infineon Raceway

Hmmm Sure is tempting! As of right now, I have penciled in an EMA trackday at THill near the end of November. This one looks good though... so does the Keigwin day on the 2nd.

Oh, the dilema of only having a few vacation days left from work!
