    You have mentioned about the sitting position and something about right thigh in your post which made me post the basic rules!

    • @ EL LOCO DIABLO - Man, you can really lean the bike to it limits. I wonder what you can do with an R15.

      If only i can lean my R15 as much as you can, i can shave another 2 or 3 secs right away.

          Instincts... BTW, u can call me GP or Ganesh rather than Da.

          EDIT:

          Ok, unable to load in Picassa from office, hence files are in as attachments. Will do some uploading from home. enjoy these for now.

          PICs credits to Vijay AKA Dreamhorse. These are taken in Manual mode in an SLR. Happy that some of the pics have come out well

          In the next track day, we have planned for video in every corner to improve our body posture. One feet at a time.

              Sure, Ganesh. Even I need to meet you and other folks.

              Thanks for sharing the pics; let them keep coming.

                Well that's what i'm itching to know too, maybe you can lend me yours next time But seriously the next time i'm positively NOT taking my own bike out there, its way too scary i'm not that talented to compensate for a bad-handling bike, actually i had come with only two pointers in my head to not push it and keep the speed in check. The next time though i hope i get a proper body position, the pics feel as though i'm going into the corner half-assed, doesn't look as focused as you guys look when you hit a corner.

                  That is one good idea.

                      Pretty impressive leaning angles for a Pulsar there. Like you mentioned very aptly, could do with some more butt coming down the seat and more focus of vision into the corner. Could just make you go faster!

                      Was looking forward to making it this time but again some unforseen circumstances popped up. I plan to take a dip sometime in the end of March.

                      • elco great one man! how do you guys do that on pulsars! whoa
                        A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

                        Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

                        • Finally the slowly the pics are flowing out and good to see some nice shots. feeling good to see some my fazer on the run... a couple more track days would help in reading the lines properly

                          to all photographers please send my snaps (the only FZ which was running in the track) to [email protected]

                            Well right now i'm kind of bankrupt after the track day, if i end up coming to the track the next time, i'm reserving somebody's R15 if they are ready to lend it to me

                            • @ ELD - I kind of missed the post where you asked for my R15. Will be continuing to miss similar posts in future too....
