    The video doesnt really do it justice. The front and rear tire were loosing contact with the track. The problem beacame gradually worse as the day went on.

    could be flat spots in the tires, poor suspension settings, possible clutch slipping/chattering, warped rotors, ect...


    we have a GREAT track coach (Nick Razzo) that has the IDENTICAL BIKE, he rails on that bike. maybe look into if someone offers rear sets, to raise the pegs up a bit.

    also getting someone to video your body position so, you can see how far off YOU THINK you are. when hard parts start dragging, you have to get off the bike more, (more than you think you are), and push the bike up. think about exagerated body position.

    BTW, I LOVED your "typical saturday" ride schpeel. i LOL'd!!! you'll fit right in with the group. lets get you some more track time, and coaching, and you will be safer there and better prepared for the street as well.

    get you buddy there too. Marc, Vern and Peggy, will give him more experience in one day, than he'll learn in 10 years on the street. Ski

    Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but I have some more AMP track time in the works. Any coaches or A riders interested? There will probably only be 2-3 bikes. Daven Northcutt on facebook if you dont want to publicly admit that you want to ride here:) PLMK
