The track was super-dusty in the morning due to the high winds we've had recently. I started filming in the 3rd session, so the track was much better by that point, but still dusty if you went off the line.

And Jason was fine from that lowside. Bike was still rideable, just scratched up. He was trying to catch Mark on the slowest section of the track, where it's difficult to make up time, ran wide, hit some dust, and went for a slide.

He also trail-braked until about midway through that turn. For a big 250-260lbs guy, he can haul ass. Even though I put a faster time in than him that day, he passed me once and I simply couldn't catch back up to him. But that video shows me where I can improve.

I told him about it.

Zort catches up to me around the 30 minute mark. I'm the one with the Kagayama. I got a lot to work on.

Great videos as usual Zort. It seems like your tranny/clutch is a little sluggish sometimes. Or do you have a slipper clutch?
