Here's some humbling moments, wait for the last clip when a rider loses the front in 8A. He walked away!

Nice clip!

I see in this and your other clip you redline the EX often around 90mph, what is that, 4th gear?

Thank you Jackal...honestly I'm not sure what gear I'm in - topping out about 100 mph going into Turn 7. I dropped the countershaft 1 tooth - stock rear.
I just use whatever gear I need to be in...hey it's just a track day - not like I was racing 20+ years ago lol ;D!
Definitely noticed I was in the wrong gear a couple of times especially around slower traffic - then over-revving with the faster riders on larger, newer sport bikes trying to keep up with them.
Then I tried to remember what size wheels and tires I have...and slow down .

Dropped a tooth in the front for more accel = 111.1 mph top speed which doesn't look to be a problem at that track.

Good riding, and it stinks for that guy at the end.

I've subscribed to you... interested in seeing how you develop good work!

Thanks Urbane - the bike works well as-is, I'm going fast enough for my age lol!
And not sure I'll do another track day-too addicting :...
