    I'd add that you could really benefit from some coaching or schooling on body position and setting up for the turns etc.
    You need to be set up (off the bike already) before hard braking and turn in. As well you're moving as you exit. All of this unsettles the bike and also makes it hard to be consistent.
    You only really need to get back on the seat to tuck for long straights.

    p.S nice vid Nelso

    I've done CSS levels 1 and 2 , and Moto DNA (3 on 1)I reccon a one on one track day with a more experienced rider would be of more value. ?? The tips in this thread however should keep me with working points for at least a few more track days.
    I'm defiantly learning as I go.
    From my 1st track day I think I'm getting better position now
    but I've got a lot to learn .

    Whenever we can get to the track. I put a 110 front tyre and 130 rear on it and managed a 1:52 on it yesterday, which I was pretty stoked with. Unfortunately I didn't have the GoPro mount so I didn't get any footage of it. It's still got a bit more sorting to do with the front end (it still chatters), but it's getting better to ride.
