Default Finaly my first track day and...

...happy and satisfied indeed
My 2011 bike performed well so did the Power Pure's perform great too.
Alright I must admit I am still sort of a rookie when it comes to track racing, but I did give it some stick after getting used to the track and more comfortable with my own skills.
This bike is just awesome! I took it very cool around corners at first but coming out I wind it open and I just pull away from my contenders getting a little frustrated behind me. On the straights this bike flies and there was no bike on the track that could catch me never mind pass me! Corners was another thing of course
Thanks too all the help on this forum, I did manage to get the suspension setup correctly and the bike handled perfectly all the time.

Now I cant wait for another track day

I can see you being really popular by doing that...

That aside, glad you had a good day, it only gets more addictive and expensive from here on out though.

What Steve is saying there, is it's track etiquette if someone on a slower bike is faster than you in the corners, to not repass them on the straights.
