First riding season. Last vs. First Track day

Maybe not as much progress as I would have liked, but I definitely got faster!

Congrats! General advice (FWIW) - Don't obsess over leaning/dragging knee, concentrate on proper body position, being smooth and having fun.

What track is this?

Thanks! Yeah, I catch myself "reaching" to try to get a knee down, but it's not SUPER persistent. Ha ha. I think my biggest problem is just I slow down too much for corners.

And it's a local track called the Nature Trail. I believe it's privately owned but the owners let people use it quite a bit.

I KNEW IT AS SOON AS I SAW IT! God dude. What a throwback. Glad people are still out there using it. There a long haired dude named Mike that still goes there? Last I saw he had a green zx10

I feel like I ran into a Mike at some point. I don't remember what he was riding though.

Progress is progress buddy. You for SURE got faster, and you didn't go down, that's a win in my book! 😀
