When I was younger, I used to be good enough to dream about riding like you can.
Now I don't even remember how I did that.
A rolling start, you'da won that by half a lap. What bike are you on ?
There was some pretty good machinery that were handed there own arse with apparent ease.
I enjoyed that more than anything I've seen for a long while, please post more of your races regardless of your results and for the benefit of guys like me, can you give some insights as to how you are so smooth ?
I've never been that good.
Awesome Man...!

I'm on an lm2, I think planing far enough ahead doooyou don't haveto adjust your line is the key to being smooth. I always thoughtthe guzzi brakes were excellent for the era. I have split the system, but kept the original master cylinder so you have to keep the brakes intop formto prevent them getting spongy. But if youdo that it doesn't take lot of lever force and that helps with control going into the corners.

Yeah, baby! If that don't start your morning nothing will..... :thumb:

For all of us VIDEO RACERS out there, don't forget to watch this one of two ways...rotate your screen left and right to keep your eyes level with the horizon as they go thru corners (even feels like your steering...)

or...tip your head left and right to keep your eyes level w the horizon....brings a whole new perspective....hat tip to Freddie Spencer
