Default First track day report

I figured I'd cross post my track day report in here, since I thought some of you might want to hear it from a petite person's perspective:

That was a great read. I have something to aspire to. (not the going down part) I really enjoyed reading someone else take on the track. I think it would have taken me longer after going down to get back on the horse. Thanks

great write up! it's just the beginning it gets better! [thumbsup]
I love passing bigger bikes on my Monster.

I did Cali Superbike School Levels 1 & 2 back in May at VIR. I'll share a cool technique they use that works, we did sessions in one gear and NO brakes. On their ZX-6Rs we were riding we started out in 4th, don't know what gear you would run on your SV, 3rd perhaps maybe 4th. By doing this it teaches you how much cornerspeed you can carry without relying on brakes, then later as the day progresses use 2 gears and just a little brake, and so on, by the end of the day you'll be amazed at how much smoother and faster you can be.
