Looking good Lee, turned out to be another great day at the track. Was nice to meet you and the other Oregon S1000RR riders.

I see what you were saying about the GoPro's being useful to review yer riding....rather than trying to keep track ON the track. I mos-def will bring it next time.
I noticed you were droppin' into 2nd btwn. 2 & 3...I'll have to try that. Droppin' into 2nd btwn. 3 & 4 got to be a bit of a handful fer me.

I didn't happen to notice/remember yer choice of tires....they weren't street tires were they?

Nice video Lee! I will have to try out my go pro mounted there next time.

No I am using the Pirelli Dot race tire. Tom, the Pirelli tire vendor, was selling the Dragon Supercorsa for $250.00 per set. That's with a 190/55 rear.

Sweet, Lee. It was turn 4 that bit me. I loved that turn, but I low-sided right at about 29-30 seconds in. A little too tight of an entrance is my self-examination.

Hope to do PIR again next year.

Bummer, hope you and the bike are ok. Turn 4 & turn 3 are the most common for low sides.

Bike is pretty good. I broke a rib and futzed up my left ankle, but working through that. We'll be back for sure.

No, I had my Quick Shifter replaced about two months ago and have had no problems since. A week ago I hit a false neutral, between 3rd and 4th, going into turn one but that was because I had too much play in the clutch lever. After adjusting it no more problems.
