    Wow. You have to get on a track day! It is such a GREAT way to learn throttle control, braking and how to turn a bike properly. Make sure that you hit Like, Subscribe and hit the bell to be kept in touch with the race series - next up - Donnington and a nasty incident! Ade

      Yep, To be fair, it was Bikke or another person who came up with that for me.

      @RevMonkey  4 года назад

      There was a speed triple there!
      Always a fair few naked bikes at track days it seems.
      Speed triple would be more than fine.
      Go for it.

    Looks like you actually did really well on the harder corners at Brands. Turning late is super key but that it not easy when you are new to it.

    • @RevMonkey
      @RevMonkey  4 года назад

      You might be right. I was probably concentrating more on those bends and the lines were perhaps more obvious.

      Cheers/ Survived! Ha. I did go wide in the last right hander at one point but was pleased and proud I managed to refocus and make the turn. I seemed to accelerate more down that little straight under the bridge than I did down the front or back main straights.

  • @nepaliclips4048
    @nepaliclips4048 4 года назад +1

    Excellent effort. Things to improve on: Braking later and much less coasting, you can accelerate a lot harder as the bike will take it and once you are coming out of one bend already you should be looking round the next one if visible.

    • @RevMonkey
      @RevMonkey  4 года назад +1

      Yep, I have a lot to learn. Plenty of time though. So hard not to rush things as i get an overdose of excitedness. I need to calm down and stop going too fast.
      Ade

    • @RevMonkey

      Yeah, they are standard on the SP2.

      Bikke is sticking on some new rearsets. This will improve the body positioning for both of us and are stronger in the case of a slide. Dunlop D212 tyres went on for Donnington. Excellent tyres. @dunlopmotouk #tractionbydunlop

      I went wide on the last bend once, heading for the grass but instead of panicking I managed to focus on the bend and just get it round. At this point it was near the end of the day and the tyres were definitely starting to go.
