What you are going to hate is that long front straight, it will let all the slow people you had to fight to pass right back by you because they can gun it on a straight, but can't make a turn.

That's what I loved about BIR... mile long front straight where I could pass those that I didn't have the balls to pass during the turns.

How long is the straight at Nashville?

Don't know, its the nascar front stretch. It's a little better than a regular track because it's banked and has transitions, so the douchebags that can't take a turn but can gun aren't as much of a factor plus there is a high speed sweeper into a switchback at the end of the straight where you can pass the shit out of them if they are able to gun it on their liter bike.

Passing people in a straight where they are clearly faster than you in the corners and then holding them up is not cool. Let them go because they will leave you once they get in the tight sections and then you both can enjoy the ride instead of being a douche.

I only ones i passed on the straights were the ones that I was as fast as, or faster through the turns too. being my first track day, i just wasn't comfortable passing through the corners yet. not a necessary risk, as it was usually only a couple corners before a straight so I could get around.

I've had mine up to a buck thirty or so indicated. I never did get comfortable with turn one to run wfo in 5th coming down the front straight at Barber. I did wind out 4th to the rev limiter though.

The best part was the look one of the other riders gave me when he and I were running next to each other with me baning off the rev limiter. He was like, "what the hell is wrong with your bike?".

I'm definitely not the fastest. Toward the end of the day at Barber I was running very high 1.50's. I know I can do better.

I just hope I don't have one of those days where I can't get in the grove.

you confuse me, lol, talking about lights on the track then running in the 1:50's at barber. Internet is not the best place to pick up on sarcasm.

Barber is a Buell's dream. The more curves the better. Long straights suck.

Us Buell people will jump all over your ass 0-60, but when it gets above that the old girl gets to wheezing. When it comes to the long straight at Nashville, I'll be that she'll be a sheezin as 600's and 1000's blow by me like I've got it in reverse (reverse lights).

I think I only got the good time last trip out. I was running in the 2:00-2:15's much of the rest of the later part of the day. Of course the whole first part was a wash out since I was in novice. First couple of sessions I don't think we even broke 70MPH. Passing ONLY in the straights REALLY sucked (see long straight comment above).

I just hope I'm in the verve.

Whatever.

You see me shaking my head? I blew the ENTIRE good run on 48 when I missed the shift. F'ed up the entire run. I was a gear too high with no engine braking and no torque.

That one road was "thrilling".


"Curve? What curvohshit!"
