He was a little pressed for time so he asked me to help with some video loading. Here is a session of Johnny & Chimicanga playing. http://youtu.be/zJYW1Ch-j6U And when the front let go entering the coaster. http://youtu.be/rqxM5JtlG8w
12 years and that's the first time I ever crashed...I ride on the conservative side....my Dainese's blew a zipper Saturday morning,I had those Joe Rockets Aaron Frank in my tub...I used them once and they were tight in the crotch and in the thighs on turn-in,basically binding me up...well I rode the top of the bike all day Sat and Sun,I think I got lazy and it bit me running prolly too much angle coming in...tucked er'...oh well...12 years streak shot down!! LOL
So much for a warm up lap... At least it was a clean get off. What was that approximate lap time before the crash? P.S. You passed me at the 6:30 mark in the first video like I was sitting still...
Haha...we all get to do that....I wasn't trying to be an ass ,that was my first crash in 12 years,when I started doing track days...I thought,hey this is so much fun I want a long shelf life...so riding cautious,don't go over 9/10ths,study alot,learn fast SLOWLEY...aint' none of us goin' to Moto-GP...well maybe Jake....lol...what principal seems to apply universally is,there's always someone slower/always someone faster......we're all pretty decent pilots,lucky to be doing it...but that next level sure is a great deal different...
Stick around and you will...if my old ass can do it,anyone can...speaking of muffin's,quite a nice muffin in your pic there kiddo!!!
John you are definietly an Inspiration in my book.... You Drink and smoke like a Champion!!! Oh and your pretty quick on a bike too!!!
Thank God for Forums for a slow day at work!! Derrick's right....find a coach...they know every inch of that track,and spend the whole day,with one or more....study between sessions...use video between sessions.....tell ya right now,watching my video I can see where I got lazy,didn't use enough track...missing apexes etc....I wish I would've video's Saturday and watched between sessions...could've cleaned some things up....use the coached AND vid...bet you drop 3-4 seconds if you in the upper 40's.....hey,ya got the November date....????
Well that's kind of you Marc....half a party animal is true....I have some friends that are trying to talk me into trying to do an old guy and qualify for an AMA race....IF I worked my ass off,quit smoking,spent more on the bike,worked out,diet.yadda yadda yadda.....I could spend about 4 k and get smoked!! Right now,I "might" be able to make a grid at a couple tracks....I'd be 8-10 seconds off the pace...couldn't finish.....I think I'll stick to the club stuff CCS/ASRA,nice 8 lap sprints,and coach and do track days.....this way I can still Party!!!
