The photos are GREAT Ted!

If they will sell you the hi-resolution files, you can get them blown up at Staples very inexpensively. I did that with several of my photos from Deals Gap.

Here they are hanging on the wall in my office. They are 12"x18" but of course you can make them a lot larger if you want.

I think the 2nd pic is best. You and the MAX look so gritty urban Mad Max, but on the race track! Wow!

The first pic is good, too. Looks like you are running with a racer guy: with the yellow amature plate.

These are awesome photos. Congrats, Ted, on getting out there and "DOING IT!"

Buy the pics. Support the photog. And post 'em up. I want to link these into my Facebook to show my many TrackDay Junkie friends what the VMAX experience is all about!

Again, Well Done! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thx Mark!

And it looks like you need to work on what i do as well.. See that 2nd pic of u, ur body and head need to be way over on the left side of the bike go into ur left hand and it's something that's hard to do on the BEAST, but it can be done..

I need to work on this bad and it does help a lot to get off the bike more dip ur head into the turn more..You should start trying it more next time ur out on some country back roads by urself..Keep the bike more upright in the turn and pull ur body more off the bike and you can take the turn in and longer turns much fast then you think...Pics help a lot in telling you what ur doing right and wrong..

Everyone should be doning this in the turns.. Try and you will see..They don't teach it for no reason..

Yup.....I know exactly what you are saying Ted I listened to the instruction when my buddy did a track day/school last year.

Easier said than done though right?!

You are getting pretty close in that one photo....takes a lot of practice and you have to be in decent shape to use your knees/legs to push you from side to side....and then hold the position. 240 tire like I have on the rear of my bike makes the effort required that much harder.

Re: Track Day @ Motor Sport Ranch Cresson, Tx 1 year 2 weeks ago #89

sooo very true!! I kept going back to my old riding style and kept having to tell myself to looking harder and move ur body..I'm sure some Dale Walker bars would help out a lot too.. The stock bars aren't the best for this and i had mine moved forward as well.. Should of move them back to me more before i started the day,but i was thinking about too much sh!t as it was..It takes doing to get used to it..ANd i'm sure the 240 doesn't help as u say.. That's why i luv my 180 Shinko any day of the week.. ;)
