good job uchi! looks like a lot of fun. A little criticism though: don't brag about lapping you buddy, someone might misconstue this(hahaha); and also you didn't mention that your buddy's only been riding for 2 weeks and has a 1962 100cc Hodaka.

thanks andre, but im not that fast, we had some really fast guys in the group we ride with that came down, one guy on a 1k gixxer blew past me on one wheel on a straight lol. and anytime you see me slow down its because im behind someone who is slowing me down. i wish i had the cam facing forward when the with with the srad passed me and almost took out the bike that was slowing me down. actually i have a pic i need to post right now

here we go, turn 11 and 12 have a short straight between them but ive learned to hit them both without straightening up too much, this was still early in the day before confidence grew in my tires, i wish i had my last session on tape i went out and gave it hard. oh well, this is just a cool shot as i was about to dive into the last turn

i think we of the Unofficial SH Forum need to start a contingency fund and sponsor you in FIM. I'll start it by throwing in a couple old sprockets and my smog kit if you can just pay the the shipping.

I'll have to try and watch the video again. The sound quality is rather poor so it is hard to tell when you are getting on the throttle. The first part I watched sounded like you were waiting until the bike was completely upright before you gave it the beans...... but i could be wrong.
The body position looks much better and that would be the reason you didn't drag a knee IMHO.
Forget about the gearing for a bit and the next step is learning to get on the throttle at the apex, while the bike is still leaned over. You'll get much better drive out of the corners this way.

i was getting on the throttle about 3/4 of the way through the corner, it was cold out so i didnt want to risk having the back tire breaking traction especially with the last turn ended in a wall. the sound quality on the go pros is crap, theres a waterproof gasket in there that muffles it and if you pull it out all you hear is wind noise. but yeah id start rolling on the throttle in the corner and then get on it heavy once i was up right. now keep in mind that was my second session of the day, by the end of the day i was pushing the pace alot harder and was coming into corners at 7000+ rpm and coming out of them with the motor screaming. i actually found i was getting alot faster by seeing where id have to change gears. on the back straight before i could use third where as this time out i had to shift to forth , same with the section with the chicane, i was able to stay in second for it early on but as the day went on i needed third gear and got to ride it out a bit aswell. so that really was the best way i was able to tell how my progress was doing, and also later on i was pushing my shoulders off alot more and even had to back out a couple times because the bike dived hard and i almost took it off the damn turtles, lol. all in good time, shame the season is over for me, my clutch is toast you can hear it slipping on the big straight and itll be just some mild street riding from here on till the snow falls.
next year though you can expect some good footage with a fresh clutch and me on slicks, im picking up my warmers tonite and a geni when i see them go on sale over the winter, should be great, lets just hope im not over confident in the bike lol, oh and gonna have my fork fixed for the new year so that i can turn my damping down more than a half turn and get the pre load cranked down aswell and i almost forgot ive got a shock with a 2 up spring coming my way hopefully soon, so the new year is looking promising
