Good write up! Like Spidey said, that turn 4 is a real bear. If you get a chance to do a little diagram of your lines on that one I know I'd appreciate it. Both of my trackdays at Sears I fumbled my way through it, slidin' the rear and doing all sorts of nonsense...

You're gonna kick my a$$ at the track in December, but you're still going to be afraid of splitting lanes and riding on the bridge! We're doing a rain ride...that's right--you and me. We need to get you over this... [laugh] Nothing like sliding across rails and manhole covers only to screech your way to a stop on crosswalk paint to make you realize just how much the bike can wiggle without dumping you.

Sounds like you're learning a lot... <*green with envy*>

Yeah, not to detract from Ducky's stuff here, but once or twice I got that turn right. The funny thing was, I got it right on a really rainy trackday. Not sure what I was doing, but I know I was going slower and hanging off a little more...and suddenly that turn kinda clicked for me. If I recall correctly it's banked just a bit around the corner and I'd aim for that part--it's almost out of sight as you're entering the turn. It seemed like the straightest line and I was just trying not to fall. I haven't been back since then, so I'm interested to see how I do this winter again.
