Cheers Dave,  body position was something I wanted to work on pre tracking but so many things to do in the lead up.  The sweeper at Hampton downs goes up hill at the end so many I'm looking up there. Next track day is the 31st so will get another chance to improve hopefully . Dan should be finished editing and have a YouTube video up soon

At track days, do people shun those that don't ride sports bikes? Such as cruisers etc? Would love to take my bike down to Hampton or Puke at some point.

You should still be trying to keep your head level, though you might not be able to do that and look up to the next corner due to helmet vs leathers vs shoulder stuff.

Nah, anyone who goes to a race track understands that the race track is the best place to learn bike handling regardless of what type of bike you ride. I've come across everything from gn125's to harley's to sport tourers, so long as you ride safe no one will care what you ride.

Ah, that's a relief. I would've felt a bit awkward turning up to a track day on my little VL250 and be the only cruiser in the field :P

Well I was practicing on a Suzuki Bandit (170 Kg Wet) and the bike I did the test on was a dirt type bike (70 Kg wet) so a few of them were simply due to the bike feeling different.

That and I completely cocked up the parking section (but seriously, who parallel parks a bike?)

Aparently the new VW bike parks itself.

Headlights look better in person, looks mean as, thanks for the positive comments tho.
its a 13 the current model. the 14 will be the same when they release it.

My mate is stocked, i facebooked him and said your running this in for me. He was here in seconds. I told him raf the shit out of it, and not tell me what or where he gets to but I want about 300 kms on it by the time he comes back. There was a coyote type comic plume of dust where he was standing.

tbh I did google it and retract my previous comments :)

Looks mean and angry again like the 04-06 bike.

You should do a build post of all the yummy HRC bits going on :)

Are there any new features this year?

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I will try and update as I do it. I will be putting bits and pieces on the race facebook page as well (linky above). Problem being I source alot of my bits from Italy and they have just shut down for hte summer till the 25th, hopefully my Exhaust (Arrow) and my suspension (Bitubo) are on their way before this happened.

Acula, good luck with the test.
