- Nelson Ledges Road Course, Ohio, July 29, 2018. This is the full 2nd afternoon session of the Advance Group. I'm riding my 2009 Ducati 848. I end up following a fast Suzuki SV650 rider (#62) for the first several laps. It made me miss my SV650S that's back home in the garage--these bikes are fun, and I might set mine back up for the track.
A few more laps in, and I was able to set another personal best lap at this track. As soon as I set that record, I was passed by a much faster rider and was instantly reminded that I can and will go even faster... it's never ending!
Enjoy the video, and don't forget to subscribe!

Can't wait to see that Duc back out at MidOh!
Get ready--I'll be out there soon! Are you up-to-speed yet on the ZX6R? I don't know what to expect from you now that the SV has been decommissioned!
Great video 👍🏻 those were some fast riders. Congratulations on a new personal best
Thanks Charlie! Yes, we had some good riders in the Advance Group this weekend--fast and safe--it was a great time!
This was the 2nd afternoon Advance session, and it was a fun one! There is quite a bit of passing (mostly me being passed), and I set another personal best lap at this track. As soon as I set my personal best--literally 2 seconds afterwards--I was passed by a much faster rider; it was a good reminder that 'there's always going to be a faster rider out there.' It's never-ending!
Nice riding!
Thanks man! We've gotta get you there on your beast!
Looking good. I see they added some curbing to go with the new surface.
Thank you! and yes, they added curbing. The track feels really great now and it's super fast! I'm going to try to get a few more days in at this track this year. You should come up...
@@Track848 is there still a “wheelie bump” onto the front straight?
@@jimccc9467 Yes, Jim, it's still there--it's a fun track as you probably know!
@@Track848 that was home when I started racing in 1984. I’m just picking up an 1198sp but won’t likely see the track just collect dust.
Great laps ! Smooth and fast ! I started there with Fasttrax 19 years ago on a 98 1200 Bandit. Then after Bob Stanley past, with Tod Karam and Moto Series. Was a control rider for a couple years on a 03 SV 1000. Sold the SV but still have the old reliable Bandit. After busting my femur at PIR about 4 years ago, I got back out at NL with Sam Wang and LEAN. The track seemed so much wider without all the pot holes. I didnt make it out last year, I restored a Bultaco and been trying to get more dirt time in ( and its cheaper) But would like to get back to NL this year as long as its in my budget. Who do you go through now for track days there ? I just start in the back of the intermediate these days, wait till the tires warm up and see how far I can move up. Not worried about lap X anymore, just like to get in some smooth laps. At 63 I dont crash too well anymore.
Hey Daniel, thanks! Yes, Sam is the man, and I see that he really expanded the schedule this year with many more events at NL, including some endurance racing events! Last year I rode there with LEAN and with EvolveGT. However, I do not see NL on Evolve's schedule yet for 2019. Hope to see you out there!
I knew Bob really well, I won Monster bike and 750 superbike championships back when his series first started. I used to ride a white TZ250 and there weren’t many of those there. Bob was a great guy just a genuine great guy.
