A New Year…a New Trackbike…a New Video

The 2010 season is well under way and though i’ve already attended 3 events, this is my first post for the 2010 track season. I picked up a 2006 Yamaha R6 dedicated trackbike earlier this year to campaign my 2010 season and it’s been quite the learning experience. I decided on a smaller displacement trackbike [...]

A Look Back at Trackdays 2009

A couple of months ago i created this video comparison of two separate trackdays at NJMP Thunderbolt so i could see if I’ve made any improvements over the year. Check it out:

Most of the speed i picked up was due to finding some courage to turn the throttle a little harder but i still have [...]

Trackday Takeaway Notes

After having done my 4th trackday this year, 8th overall I figured it’s about time I start jotting some mental notes so I can learn from experience and make improvements for next time. Like they say, the only way to improve is to go out there and try something new everytime.

This last event was [...]

My Take on Beginner & Intermediate

Here’s an excerpt from an email i recently sent to Howay in response to his question: “How different is intermediate compared to beginner?” I thought i’d post it here for others who’re wondering the same thing…
I’m not sure how to compare beginner and intermediate. Beginner for NESBA appears to be a little different than [...]

Experiencing Lightning

I’m glad I rode and grew to love Thunderbolt first, because if i rode Lightning first, i don’t think i’d enjoy Thunderbolt too much. Lightning flows much better than Thunderbolt and is definitely better suited for motorcycles…well at least more forgiving. It’s an extremely fast track with lots of high speed corners where you’re trying [...]

TSM Films NJMP Thunderbolt

Just finished the first trackday video for TSM…unfortunately, i was the only member of TSM riding at the event, so this video only contains some onboard video of me with two shots from the sidelines.  This video was put together with iMovie which i’ve been test driving in hopes of moving to the MAC camp [...]

Trackdays – A Love/Hate Relationship

Where do I begin…anyone following this blog (basically myself and sometimes Howay) knows that I’ve been waiting all fall/winter to hit the track…and was it a long wait. April 10th was that fateful day. Equipped with a true track bike this year, I WAS ready…to take on all that NESBA intermediate had to offer…at least [...]
