your body position is looking better and better. If I might make a few constructive suggestions though. I've noticed that you're leaning the bike quite a bit more than it actually needs to be and that your toes are hanging off a little to much. you'll find that if you keep your toes higher up on the peg that you'll have better leverage. And if you move your ass farthur off of the seat and support your body more with your inside leg that the bike will become more stable and you'll have plenty of tire left if you feel the need to lean more. otherwise great pics! how many levels do you guys have down there? we've got A - expert, B - intermediate, and C - novice

when u say my toes are hanging off u mean they are out too much to the side and i should tuck them in against the bike? or i should have my toe on the peg like tippy toeing?

Again great pictures from a track day, I need to get to one myself

I ment that your toes look like they were hanging off the end of the peg to much. it may have just been the pic that I was looking at though. the end of the peg should be about between your big toe and the ones next to it. your toes should also be point more down than out as well. you should drag knee way before you drag toe. where in so cal are you? I'm up in the bay area.

no I've never been down to GP. I want to go but every time I think about it I also think I could spend that money on bills or a trackday or parts lol. I've got a few friends down in the OC area. I wanted to make a trip down there this year, but I got slammed with bills again. maybe next year. I'd love to ride some different tracks. do you ever ride ortega?

for sure bro.. bills freakin suck... i work in debt settlement.. so if your buried in debt or tired of high interest and fees and penalties let me know... ive ridden ortega a few times, dont like it that much, probably cause everytime ive gone its been packed with cars.. i prefer Azuza/GMR, ACH, palomar, Malibuu
