Clearly she has exquisite taste.

And yeah I was bummed you couldn't make it out to meet up with us. Those two days taught me how to turn to the right. Really going to help me back at NHMS.

I'm better at rights than lefts. In fact...both times I've crashed have been left turns.

I hear ya. Everyone has a better side.

NHMS is mostly lefts, so I'm much better at those. And the right handers that it does have are the ones with the nastier bumps and transitions (not to mention walls).

That being said those two days at NJMP on both tracks helped me a lot. I can't wait to get back to NH.

These two shots are from the day after that Buell day, on thunderbolt. I was getting much better at right handers. The one in the pic is a slower speed right hander, so I'm not too worried that I didn't get quite as much lean angle.

My form is still a bit off though. I think some of it stems from awkward inside foot placement that I need to get in check.

I'm by no means an expert, but it looks like you need to rotate around the tank a little more. Get your knee out front a little more.

I just need to get my head over/down a bit more and my torso will follow. As I get fatigued, I tend to sit up. I do pretty well at keeping my body parallel to the bike's centerline though.

That positioning is after 1.5 days of hard track riding and as I got more tired, that is the position my body put itself in in order to be comfortable it seems...

I've got some winter training plans to increase strength and endurance.
