Great pics Rae. Your body positioning is much better than last year.

Isn't it great when it all starts to "click"?

Yes!! I finally got it once I told the control riders to go help someone else and let me practice what they were teaching me!! (All personal acquaintances of mine, I wouldnt recommend telling someone you dont know that!)

By far the best was actually incorporating the usage of throttle, lean and weighting the outside peg coming through the turns to really spin to the outside and follow the race line...never felt more incredible on a bike!! And getting off the seat even more mid turn to increase lean and improve exit was beyond exciting!!!

Very nice rae, looking good out there rockin your new cowhide. You are going to have to make it to a track day with us one of these days.

Agreed... body positioning looks much better! Well done!

She is still a little centered, that is my problem as well. You really need to hang off a lot more, it takes awhile to get use to, but it feels so much better once you start feeling it.

Yeah, but she's not making the bike do all the work any more... I still have a lot to do in that regard myself...

yeah, she has started the transition in body position. It's getting your head out there that is the hardest part. It wants to fight it and stay centered with the bike, but that counteracts what you are doing with your butt. I was finally getting it yesterday where I was kissing my hands pretty much. Felt a lot cleaner through turns and felt like I was really making some progress from where I was at before the wrecks instead of just trying to rebuild what I lost.

For me it was developing confidence in the bike and it's capabilities. I think you gain more and more confidence each time you participate in the trackday events....

The 6' tall gal was at the Buell Inside Pass trackday event down in Homestead on March 10. She rode in the novice class and went down once. I'm glad to see she's doing well.
