This presentation is for those who are signed up for one of the Riding in the Zone Non-Sportbike Track Training Days. This e-course is MANDATORY and must be completed before the event. During this Zoom event I go through the course and answer questions. The topics covered will give you the key information needed for a safe and productive experience and help you get the most out of your day! We are mandating this virtual rider’s meeting because it’s difficult to absorb all of the necessary information during the morning meeting when your mind is competing with the excitement of getting underway. Reviewing this information beforehand will make your morning more relaxed. You can go through the course yourself. If you cannot make the Zoom meeting or would like to complete the Non-Sportbike Track Day Virtual Rider’s Meeting E-course on your own, here is the link: https://www.ridinginthezone.com/NSBTD-Rider-Meeting/content/#/ Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE and share with your friends.

This is an essential video for anyone attending a Riding in the Zone Non-Sportbike Track Day. This is a virtual "Pre-Event Rider's Meeting". All attendees are required to watch this video. ___ PASSING It is mandatory that you watch the pre-event VIDEO that discusses passing. One of the biggest things we see is poor passing decisions. This is due to an unfamiliarity with riding on a racetrack and inexperience with passing and being passed. While passing and being passed on the street is rare, being passed and passing on the track happens frequently. A few points: PASSING - It’s the Passer’s responsibility to pass safely. - Pass Courteously - Plan your Passes • Learn the best passing areas • Ease by…Don’t barge…DON’T RUSH! …No late passing • There are multiple opportunities to pass if your first choice didn’t work out. • Make the pass as soon as safely possible. • Follow offset slightly from the rider in front in case they slow earlier or more than you expect. • The passing rider will need to go off line to go around a rider who is on line. Passing Rules • No Passing on the Inside until after the Apex • Give plenty of Room • Do not pass under the bridge or after the oval BEING PASSED • Do not look back…just do your thing…hold your line Avoid Frustration: Come off the track and re-enter to separate from clusters of riders. Mirrors We do not allow mirrors on the track because your job is to keep your attention forward. It is not necessary or desirable to know what is happening behind you. Predictability allows others to pass you easily. You need to simply stay on line. ___ Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE and share with your friends.

I ended up ordering a part from Moto Pumps that let's you adjust the screen up another 3 to 4 inches. I moved it up about 2.5 inches and now it's just about perfect...

Throttle Blipping is the term used to describe the rev-matching technique where the rider momentarily “blips” the throttle to increase engine rpm to better match the revs to the road speed when downshifting. Some bikes now have an auto-blipping feature when equipped with electronic quick shifters for both upshifts and downshifts. Also, bikes with slipper clutches minimize the need for blipping, but don't rely on the slipper for smooth downshifts, either ease the clutch out or blip.

Sure, the clutch is a basic tool for operating a motorcycle, but there is more to it than just using it to get underway and prevent stalling when stopping.
