How'd you like the SuperBike School? The BMW is my other bike.

The 1125r is really a great track bike overall. Bone stock they are just fantastic.

Kevin - The superbike school is fantastic. Keith is a great guy and a gifted teacher. Level one and two should be mandatory for all riders, street or track.
The BMW is wicked. I will post a review and comparison with the 1125R as soon as I have the time.

They are the CoutourHD 1080 and 720. Pretty cool, but I am having some issues with them dropping out of record, which I believe is due to vibration.

My first school/track day is booked for May. I would love to come off the track with some of what I see in your video. I am an old guy trying something new before it gets beyond the realm of possibilities.

I'm 50 myself and roadraced for almost 20 years, and for a newbie you're not shabby man. Nice video. I've been thinking of doing some track days on my bike, but I'm afraid I'll get the bug again and then there goes my son's college fund.

Redduck - I hit 50 this year. You might as well go ahead and spend that college money, because the world ends in a couple of years anyway...Either that or get them kids working toward a scholarship (I must be in the same boat as you, because I struggle with the same issues). Gotta have fun while you still can..

Reduck124 - Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting on the track with more experienced riders so I don't have to be so concerned about the guy in front of me suddenly changing or being off his line.

You should start taping (as in masking tape) over your speedo. Nothing good comes from knowing how fast you're going.

Like someone else said its all about being smooth and consistent. With that comes speed.

Good job for your first time on the track. It gets addictive but man is it a blast!

I have a GoPro HD and just used it on the ocean jet skiing. If your contour stops recording it sounds like it might be your memory card... Try a diff brand. Like a good name brand if your using a knock off. GoPro recommends a Kingston SDHC Class 4 I believe. See what Contour recommends.
