Sounds like a great day! Reading his dad's book right now, as a matter of fact. Maybe I'll do a trackday someday.
He mentions his father alot during his classes. For example, he talks about how his father can downshift from 3rd to 1st and never upset the suspension on the bike while keeping a constant speed. He would give rides to students and they would get off and comment how super smooth the downshift transition occured.....
I tried to practice this by blipping the throttle prior to a slow easy clutch release......I need a ton of work on this.
