Yes I ride. I ride a 2005 Gixxer and I don't need to get more comfortable with any aspect of riding.

Thats cool, maybe you can give me some pointers then, been at it almost a year, here is my list.

high speed right hand turns (hand posistion issue me thinks)
Counter balance turns (can't do them if I "try" to do it, just happens on accident)
Braking (haven't practiced it too much yet)
Double Apex turns (curses!)
Rattlesnake <-- its just pure evil
General line work
Backing it in (did it once on accident, but I made it look good and thats all that matters)

Being comfortable doesn't mean there are no areas for improvement that you want to work on.

Glad to see more gixxers (as long as they are not white) when I first checked out this group I thought it was fort worth cbr riders instead of just fwmr

[DemonDuck]

Can one of my Suzuki brothers please inform me of what size bike that is? In any case looks like a clean bike... How long you been riding? What kind of riding do you do?

It is 2005 Gixxer 750, my riding style was at one time upper moderate, has now gone to leisurely moderate. I like to kick the LED's on with my babe on the back these days.

[DemonDuck]

That is not a bad way to ride at all.

[DemonDuck]

Which reminds me... I need to figure what is going on with my LED's.

I ride a 2005 Gixxer and I don't need to get more comfortable with any aspect of riding.

Ok, lets take a step back and chill a little. Everyone, even the best, have some aspect of riding they need to work on. If you've ever been to the track that's the first thing you learn. I can't tell you the number of guys who think they are gods gift to the motorcycling world and get their ass handed to them when they get on the track the first time. It's always fun to watch the guys on the bigger bikes get smoked by someone on a 600, motard or even a 250.

Thats why I'm glad I joined you guys early

"Fixxervi6 man you really suck at X and Y"

I know, I'm new, give me time

I have the perfect excuse

[Rhino]

Don't forget the perfect rebuttal: "yeah, but I'm faster than Dave"

[Blizzard_1708]

who isnt? Thats a low bar to set. (J/K Dave, but you asked for it!)

[Rhino]

Hey, I *know* I'm the slowest guy on the track in this club.

Everybody has to start somewhere.

[milesmiles]

And the first time i get out there you will still be

I wasn't gonna say it!

Talkin SMACK!!

Now if Dave passes you, your gonna catch 2X the amount of hell.

[Blizzard_1708]

It's okay, Dave wont hit a girl (being me, which is why I could get away with saying it, just thought that needed clearing up before you read it wrong and thought I was calling you a girl.)

I've been riding 21 years now, and am only doing my first track day next month. I'm not a bad rider, but it is guaranteed that I will be slower than guys who have way less miles in the saddle.
I will never run out of things to learn and if I do, that's the day I quit riding.
