    Skidding the back tire on down shifts?

    That particular downshifting method, while breaking and blipping the throttle is one of the most difficult to get right. For me.

    me on oulton park in the wet

    Looked pretty good to me. Nice rhythm you got into. As far as it stepping out, you gotta expect that in wet conditions. My last two track days were in the wet. One on Corsa III's and they hooked up nice. And the other on Supercorsa SP,s which are a magnificent dry track tyre, but horrendous in...

    Front tire reversed

    Iv heard of guys who reverse tyres at track days. E.g Broadford track has only one real left hander, so the track will chew away the right hand side of the tyre. Guys turn the tyres to get use of the other side of the tyre. Iv not tried this, but from what Iv heard, they dont have any serious...

    Knee down?

    I can get my knee down on the road in certain corners which I know well and am cofident enough to carry the corner speed, but only in the right conditions. Iv had my knee down in the wet at the track on my 09 Fz6 on Pirelli corsa III's. Saying that, I have had the suspension sorted by a...

    Do your pinkies close over the grip when riding??

    All my fingers close over the grips except for the little finger on my left hand. Never really thought much about it until I read your thread. Lol.

    Hardest technique to master?

    Not sure about the hardest technique to master, cos they're all tricky to master, but one technique that springs to mind that I struggle with is more applicable to track than road. Breaking hard from high speed on the straight, and trying to gear down and blipping the throttle between...

    Metzeler M5 Interact

    Im due a new set of tyres and was thinking about trying a set of Metzeler M5 Interact. Currently on Corsa III. Most of what Iv heard and read about the Metzeler M5's is very positive. Great grip wet or dry, quick warm up and good wearing, but in particular, exceptional feel. Has anybody tried...

    What did this guy do wrong in this corner??

    Where you look is where you go! He had maintianed a consistent pace without a problem until his moment of hesitation. He saw the car and instead of looking through the turn, he looked at the car, Said "****" and headed straight for it. Very lucky to not collide with cars!

    0-206 km/h

    Hey, I just fitted up a 15t front sprocket and some fz1 bars this morning. Took it for a spin and it is alot more responsive. A little louder too cos of the increased RPM. Cool video.

    oulton park track day footage

    That looks like a ton of fun. Awesome! Gotta love an fz6 on a racetrack. Before you buy a another bike, check this out... (Fz6 cup, Australian superbike series) Until a year or two ago, there was an fz6 national championship down under. Very respectable lap times considering the low budget...
