I have another vid that my friend took from his bike when he was teaching me the line. I'll post that up in a week or so when I get it from him.

some recommendations: work on blipping the throttle. the first shot of T5, there looked to be somebody passing you on the inside and you can distinctly hear them blip the throttle as they clicked down 2 gears.

work on hitting that late apex to get good drive outta T5 to rocket yourself through T6

Thanks for the pointers. The first couple of times I went out I took the whole track in 1 gear just to learn it. I actually did start blipping by my 3rd outing.

I was scared of turn 5 because of the riders meeting. I was just trying to survive it. hahahahahhaha

To clarify... caution was emphasized in those ares during the am.

All 3 of the lefts are a little sketchy when its cold for the first few laps. Since there aren't many lefts, I tend to get a bit of slide if I push it before the tires warm.... once it warms up, they are great.

Here's a link to some onboard of my friend following me. He follows me for a lap and a half, then passes to show me the line for about a lap and lets' me back in front.

This was my 2nd outing of the day and I still wasn't that comfortable yet but I was getting there.

No, it wasn't a GoPro. I think it was a Contour.
