I had issues with slippage until I set pressures at 29 front 24 rear(cold). Then it felt GREAT! :)
I'll get some footage up of some of mine sometime this week. Doing a two day event has flat wore me out!
Oh......by the way, PRIMUS SUCKS! hahaha (a true fan will understand)

I watched a track day how to yesterday. The instructor was saying that on the first two laps you go slow in the corners and blast the straights to get your tires warm, those guys that got in front of you, where probably just doing that.

Maybe... Coulda been using warmers though. A lot of guys were, but I did not. Did not want to hassle with them. First track day there's a lot to take in... Could just be fast Dudes... That's definitly the case with the guys wearing vests. They're instructors and/or marshals.
Going by times on vids, looks like my best lap time was 2mins and four secs and my averages were 2 teens.
Friday April 13 will see how much I can improve on those.

NICE! I'm jealous of the fresh smooth tarmac! hahaha
If it makes ya feel better, that tar snake is gonna be wicked this summer.
He's an addict now! Congrats
And don't worry about lap times. Learn the lines and braking points at that track, also work on your body position, speed comes after that.
One track day and already having night sweats and stealing copper.
Lines, braking points, and body position?... I thought monkeys, like me, on cheater bikes only had to twist the throttle. 
Can't wait for MY initiation!
You're next... zip tie your key to the bike or you may fall victim to a little "hide and go seek" hazing. 
My favorite pic from the day:

oo- 
that is a nice one.
but that water mark is pissing me off.
I think I have a new business venture your pit-----umm, pit sweetheart might find interesting. How does she like photography?
The co that did track photography for us didn't do that watermark at all. They wisely accept that there work will be shared without royalty and if they ever discover unauthorized use of their work that is for profit, the watermar isn't going to matter anyway.

Back up off of my Kool-Aid.
There was another pro photog out there also... but he has not put any pics up on his site yet. 
Once he does, I'll likely purchase a couple from each... I think the last one deserves a spot on my bar.

how about this--?
I want to see one witha low view like that last one where you are going knee down with heat vapor rising up off the track....a mirage -- I almost can see it in the pic up there. Can you imagine that? Your reflection in a mirage as you are tearing around a corner.
If it can't be, we will have to PhotoShop it and make it so.

Though about that for my new Dainese Rebel jacket, The hump would make a great spot to rest the bar for a back squat! lol Just wearing it during my ride back from the gym has already helped a lot. I am about 3 spirited upper body workouts from making it fit just perfect lol
