Default Im no knee dragger

But I still like my track shots.

I’ve only done a few track days (6) since I started to enjoy that side of the sport (riding for some 15 years though). I still run the beginner class with TPM and enjoy it, though I think I’ll grab a CR next time to be evaluated for a move up.

Occasionally I drag a knee through a turn but it’s an oddity to say the least. I did an onboard video at Summit Point back in ’03 and laugh because the CR in front of me makes me look good. When he’s touching down I’m still about a mile off the ground. It use to frustrate me but then I started to realize that it didn’t matter as long as my riding position was good and I was having fun. I also started to realize that the TLS has an unusually high seat and very wide gas tank that doesn’t help… The unusually large beer gut also doesn’t help things.

But alas, I still can’t help but feed the megalomaniac in me.

Oh, that video can be seen here. It is 11.8meg in size so a right click / save as would be best.
