I enjoy watching people's narrated race videos (yours included) so I figured I'd give it a go.

Racing is like that, it is humbling. It's a massive learning curve for what you can do and the machine can do. It's takes time and practice. I am beyond my racing days, I look back at it fondly tho. Mine was straight line mainly but the shifts, the lights its all about you and the machine

Humbling and addictive. Thanks for sharing your experience Dan. Maybe you can teach me how to get off the line from a standing start!

Grate job love the narration thanks for putting your self out there and letting us fallow you. you videos have helped me with my 86 vf500 and I'm get ready to do the front forks so iv been watching the video you did on yours thank again. I'm planning on ridding it to the motoAmerica race at Laguna Seca in July if all goes right.
@matttriestodothings Жыл бұрын
That's awesome about the VF500. They're just such cool machines. Take your time on the forks and take more pics than you think you need. If you get stumped at all, just shoot me a message or post up on vfrworld. If you ride out to the MA races on it I promise you'll be fielding a bunch of conversations of people wanting to talk about the 500 they used to have decades ago and wishing they never sold it!

looks great Matt. You gotta be happy with your progress, congrats on meeting your 1.22's goal, great commentary by the way, I watched it all the way through. Im envious of your skills. If I wasn't old and brittle with bad knees, Id love to give it a go, but Im also so far form a race track.

Thanks Stray. I'm happy with the progress but certainly not satisfied. Watching a bunch of 400s walk me in the later GTL/400 race on bikes with a lot less power is certainly humbling. But considering the time frame and how scared I was of doing a first track day a few years ago, I can't complain. It's clear I'm not a natural though--gotta learn everything the hard way! I still think you'd love it. There are some pretty laid back "intro to trackdays" courses (near me) that give a bit of the taste of track riding without all the stress of an actual track day. I know that you're proximity to tracks is going to be a limiting factor there. I think the bigger factor for you would be deciding on which bike to ride though!

@@matttriestodothings lol, yea none of the garage queens. I’d have to buy a track bike. Friend of mine has a KTM RC8 track bike that I’m thinking of buying to do a RedBull MotoGP replica. Probably too much bike for a track day newbie though.

"Goal for the weekend to make it out of the weekend upright". I always want to do my best but yeah me too, my main goal each weekend is to make it home to my family in once piece and to be able to go to work on Monday.

For sure. I don't want to skate around for a sunday ride--I don't. I just want to ease towards boundaries and limits as opposed to jumping right at them because the price of failure on the track is pretty high. Sure is fun though!

@@matttriestodothings I mean, your season seems to be off to a good start, you got some riders that appear to be close to you skill wise. Are you riding in more than one class at these events? As a side note re: the onboard footage - it never lives up to being there. The best I've seen is this dude Niccolò Canepa, his videos have this visceral feeling of speed. I haven't really seen anything like it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdpkpbmUlsuslok.html

as far as dragging knees... "find the ground before it finds you" was what minigp taught me, so go puck intentionally and find your max (or something...) lean angle
@matttriestodothings Жыл бұрын
There's definitely a bunch more safety factor I'm leaving. I've dipped into it a few times on lean when I came in what I thought was too hot, and it just sticks. I guess that's how you keep inching towards finding the limit. Luckily it still seems like I've got plenty more to explore before finding the limit.

It's a gen 1 (2001) SV650 stock motor. I think on the weekend this video was shot I was in the 1:22's for my best time, normally 1:23's. During the July round I got into the 1:20's. Going to need to be able to shed a lot more next year. Actually, here's a lap chart from that race: i.imgur.com/sSaaWOc.jpg

Lol almost shit your pants. Getting passed in the kink is a kinda scetchy place to get passed so I could see that. I think your giving up a little on the front straight by being to far off to the right of the draft but that could just look that way in the video.
@matttriestodothings Жыл бұрын
Hah, I could feel it was coming, I just didn't know where! It certainly illustrates that turn 1 and the subsequent drive off is a weak spot for me if I let him close up that much distance. You may be right about the draft. I'll have to be more cognizant of that in the future.

@matttriestodothings11 ай бұрын
I'll try to put together a video and article later this year about my experience doing this and why I think more people ought to give it a shot. That being said, if you want anything specific now or just to ask some questions, let me know and I can send you my email. You can sign up on asraracing.com. For all the mixed bag of results from the new ownerships first year, they've made registration much much easier.
