Here is a video I put together for my first track day, discussed in this thread.

Since my ATC2K's never worked that day, all the footage is from my friend's GoPro mounted to his ZX-6R. Can't wait until next time I make it to the track...

Awsome vid !!!

Feeling frustrated right now, was going on the track tomorrow.
But ****ed up my knee and need surgery :(

Seems like a fun and fast track, fast corners.
Nice riding to overtake that Ducati :thumbup:

Thanks for all the props, guys! I'll keep 'em coming. :thumbup:

Buddies are talking about doing another track day in August, and this time we'll have three cameras instead of one so I'll have even more to work with...

Man, I'm really sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll come out of it, heal up, then be ready to attack the track like never before. :rockon:

It was a very fun, fast track. Getting around my buddy on the Duc was all about patience with the brakes and corner speed, corner speed, corner speed so that he wouldn't pass me right back on the straight, haha.

+1!

Seems he was a little too worried about riding that Duc too hard :D

This is true, he had a GSX-R 600 for a few months, then showed up to a weekend ride with the red beauty in January. He's still pretty timid on it, but gets goin when he needs to. The guy was crazy enough to let me ride it the first time he brought it out, and I must say it is a horrifyingly-wonderful machine.

That Duc is a real deal track bike ... over taking it with a FZ6 is just :thumbup:
The FZ6 is a nice bike and I love it, but when you ride real sport bike's ... it's a big difference.

But I do understand he's carefull with the bike ... $$$$$, but such a bike needs to be ridder hard :D.

And thanks for the kind words on my injury, be back in full force soon :rockon:.
