Bit nervous the first few laps, but got the hang of if somewhat ...

Great stuff. Looks like you had a ball.

Next time you're out there, look through your corners a bit more (check the dude behind you) and you'll be amazed how much smoother you get.

And as for doing shit like that while others are at work, all I have to add is YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Looking good there Java...

Andi
maybe not as agressive as the bloke behind in yor pic
but one of me....at PI
head up, looking ahead

oh
and glad you enjoyed the day!
weather would have been good too

cheers

Hey Andi, was that your first time on a track? If it was mate you have done sensationally well. Your a Bee's dick from putting your sliders to use and you'll improve bucket loads when you get used to looking through the corner more.

Good stuff Andy. Nice lean mate.

Oh yeah Bastard..

Yeah, first time. My stomach actually felt sick when we lined up I'd rather watch races than be in it, thanks...

Half of the left slider gone by day's end but the right one, ummm nearly fell trying . Where in PI is the best to learn putting down the right slider.. I mean 1st corner.. too fast (frightening), Honda.. to tight, MG... downhill ...

Btw. the tip of my boots gone cause I only have touring boots (no protection thingy). Already put my toes up. Do you think a "hero knobs" or whatever it is they screw under the pegs will help ?

PI?..right knee down???
Honda is the one to get started on
its constant radius and the right speed to get comfortable
and then
...maybe...MG (lots don't here coz the way the corner is)
but imo, forget Turn1

and your footpegs on the 6 should have hero knobs
underneath..standard! if not, get some!


cheers

cheers

great shots

good stuff mate!!
really nice to see a '00 circa ZX6R making the rounds!!

but guys look at where his eyes are pointing.
does it really matter how far you turn ur head if u still spot the apex and exit?
