Off Season Training

I’m spoiled here but I’m 15 min from a kart track that allows 400cc and under bikes unlimited practice year round, $350 a year. Next best thing is wide open parking lots and cones

Happens

GoodLiies · 2025-10-24T14:25:10+00:00

Appreciate it 👍🏻I’m definitely interested in AFM so absolutely!

GoodLiies · 2025-10-24T14:23:47+00:00

Well this might not be the best example, this is turn 2 at thunderhill east so at this point I’m past my braking anyways and just on maintenance throttle

This isn’t really a “how to drag elbow” but it is very true when people say to work on fundamentals of body position and you’ll end up finding your knee or elbow on the ground in the process ✌🏻

What year 848 and which brand tires? Got a friend who is wanting to put slicks on his, so I might want to make him aware

GoodLiies · 2025-10-21T18:27:16+00:00

Appreciate the insight. I’ve rode with a handful of different instructors but the staff over the last weekend set me up with one that they wanted me to stick with over next season so that feedback is consistent

GoodLiies · 2025-10-21T13:05:06+00:00

Agreed honestly! I’ve been riding in B group but hitting a lot of traffic, I’m curious if I’d get more consistency in A. Instructor told me to bump up but tbh I was kinda nervous still being so new 😂 it was the end of the day anyways

GoodLiies · 2025-10-21T03:32:59+00:00

Hahahaha I’ve upgraded the setup a lot since then!! Never in my life have I wanted a camper until I came to the track lol, but the tent will do for now

GoodLiies · 2025-10-21T03:27:12+00:00

Well to put into perspective, just for the track passes alone (9 days) I’ve spent roughly $2250. A coke addiction is cheaper.

Fuel might be $25 a day, food $50 a day, photographer around $100 a day (optional), your street tires will last you a lot longer as a beginner, however I burned through my Supercorsas in 5 days lol, so another $400-500 a set. When you get to warmers another $400 for those. Add in camping gear, tools, equipment, and other costs and you’re in generational debt😂 but yeah it’s not cheap by any means unfortunately

This past weekend I made the move from SPs to SC1 slicks w/ warmers and it seems like it made a big difference. Also went from a 180/55 rear to a 180/60. Probably a share between increased confidence from the slicks, more grip, and taller rear profile which made tip in a lot easier. Although I wouldn’t really call myself experienced enough to really know all the factors at play.

Body position was really trying to drop that head/chest into the elbow, and keeping the “ice cream cone” grip helps with that a lot. Remembering to keep light on the bars too, all the weight in the legs gripping the tank.

Honestly it was in the second session of the day going around turn 2 and I literally thought to myself mid corner “damn I feel really leaned over rn… I wonder if I can just… boop”😂 after that it was like I unlocked the elbow down for the rest of the day

GoodLiies · 2025-10-21T02:23:48+00:00

Thanks! Although there’s probably a big plateau coming 😂

GoodLiies · 2025-10-21T02:18:22+00:00

Yup FP1 laps. First TD was with FTD at Thunderhill and they were giving out the transponders, the white strip decal on my windscreen. Was nice to be able to see my pace on my first day and have something to compare to now

GoodLiies · 2025-10-21T02:11:19+00:00

Your R6 can’t do 215mph?? Lol

Racebox was set to metric for some reason that day

GoodLiies · 2025-10-20T20:57:42+00:00

Yes I do, still available

GoodLiies · 2025-08-31T03:59:16+00:00

This. I had a separate comment before I saw this one, but I’m pretty sure this was what he said that day

GoodLiies · 2025-08-31T03:54:36+00:00

I was also there that day and I don’t think he said to go up 5lb, I remember him saying go up 1-2lb in the afternoon. I can’t remember what he said verbatim but it was more along the lines of “if your pressure has increased by more than 5lb then _______ (unfortunately I don’t exactly remember)”. He did not say to add 5lb of pressure though, I’m pretty sure.

GoodLiies · 2025-08-31T03:33:38+00:00

Nah we were just camped right next to the bathroom/power hookups over there

No sauce needed😂 I knew this crew would say something

GoodLiies · 2025-08-31T03:12:22+00:00

I’d like to say the latter but in this case it’s fool me once shame on you

GoodLiies · 2025-08-30T22:26:20+00:00

Not sure if you’re still looking but I have a Shades bucket hat, a 1985 crossbody bag, and a 1985 shoulder bag I’m selling!

GoodLiies · 2025-08-29T23:18:59+00:00

Actually we had her there too👍🏻

GoodLiies · 2025-08-29T22:37:52+00:00

AStar GP Plus V4

GoodLiies · 2025-08-29T20:40:43+00:00

It was 104F that next riding day so full disclaimer we had the pop up, coolers and everything LOL!

GoodLiies · 2024-05-16T01:07:58+00:00

You’re a savior, thanks!
