Well the butterflies were terrible all morning.. old guy, big bike and a fast track.. The entire circuit can be run in 3rd gear on the busa except for the top of the long straight.. easily wind out 4th but I just stayed in 3rd so the fast guys could get around.. by the end of session 4, only 1 guy and the control riders were in any place to take advantage.. The bike took an easy 3 laps to get up to temp on tires (28 psi) With 10 turns and only 2 lefts, the tires took a bit of abuse on the right side..
no photog at track today and not sure what pictures there are but I did see a long lens out there so hopefully some shots..
Overall I had a great day after getting rid of the butterflys... General comment was I gotta get off the bike further... time to get in better shape I guess.. by the end of session 6 (I quit 2 sessions early, was getting fatigued) I was pretty much off the bike but it really took a lot of effort by the end of the day..
Will run sessions tomorrow and hopefully someone with camera is working.. Hope I can relax a bit more and trust the bike more.. Corner entry is a bit tricky when riding with the smaller bikes.. they can sucker you into an overly fast entry.. ooops
more detail in my blog.. but overall was a great day.. now I am going back to sleep
