Yeah, that exercise is really useful for judging corner entry speed.
One other trick I learned is to stay in one higher gear than you think you need. At first you end up lugging your engine driving out of corners, but eventually you correct it by just going faster through that corner.

Re: MSRC 5/17 or 5/18?
Casualties of war...
At the end of the weekend, when removing tape, I thought this was just glue residue I couldn't get off. Wrong! With the painters and then duct tape, I guess the headlights generated so much heat and a chemical reactive of the glue itself that it slightly distorted the lenses on each side. They now have a little "divot" and some cracking / bubbles. You can hear it in one video, when my front-end washed out in rattlesnake and I really thought I was down, then "bam" something hard hits and pops me right back up. Belly ban took the brunt of it...

Re: MSRC 5/17 or 5/18?
I don't know if it's the same for your bike as mine, but Will showed me a plug in for the front lights that you unclip. You can get it set up that you don't have to take anything off to do it. A little late, but that will help for next time

Trust me, on the triumphs pulling the plug is much much easier, you don't have to take off bolts!

CyberLink Power Director 11, it has alot of power and can do some really cool things and I only touched the surface. One neat thing that I might play with in the future is a pip option. You can also do overlays so next time I might try putting the track map up in the corner.

Re: MSRC 5/17 or 5/18?
Was this free? I see it for sale, and maybe a free trial. Version 12 I guess is the latest and greatest, and you can spend from $50 or so up to about $300 or so depending on the version.
