I haven't written anything on our fantastic resource for a long time because I couldn't find the time. I spent the entire last season practicing on the track, neglecting work and other responsibilities. As a result, I rode approximately 45 "combat" hours (pure time on the track), finished two training courses at the racing school, and won the Monster Cup stage at MRW. This was my first season on the track. Based on the results, I wrote a short text and shared it with friends before posting it here. "To comprehend the attraction of speed, you must go to human nature itself. All men throughout history spent their last money on swift horses, camels, ships, automobiles, bicycles, or airplanes.
All men throughout history have dried up with the urge to run, not walk, to rush, not drag. The ability to move quickly is innate in all individuals. However, our age is the first to be fortunate. After all, unlike our forefathers, we can quench our desire for speed. Of course, everyone has their own speed. I am obsessed about motorcycles!" Thomas Edward Law. Last season began with me going to remove a titanium plate from my collarbone, and they informed me that the collarbone had not healed, the screws had popped out, and everything needed to be taken apart.
Check the system one again before heading to the track
I figured that because I was taking it apart, I could postpone it till autumn, and if I fall and my shoulder falls apart, well, I'll take it apart anyhow, so I'll do it=) So, quietly and fearlessly, I began riding. I started with a Monster S4R then switched to a Kawa 6 in August. I fell about 7 times, and nothing fell apart. And here's what I learned during that season. First, don't fool yourself into thinking you ride for yourself, don't care about the time, aren't going to "wet" yourself, and so on. It's just not feasible.
You'll install a transponder on your bike, put on decent tires, and in a straight line, you'll be able to unleash the throttle to the fullest. If you didn't want to do it, you wouldn't go to the track. In any case, you wouldn't buy a motorcycle and would instead ride a beige Volvo with an automatic transmission or a trolleybus. I don't know anyone who wouldn't be interested in their times while riding on the track. If that's the case, you're in the know. Second, if you're in the know and have come to beat the heck out of you, the most important thing in this situation is to protect yourself and people around you.
Everyone understands the need of brakes
Remember the film "The Rush"? Lauda states, "I do not wish to ride the Nordschleife in the wet since the risk percentage is 20% on dry roads and considerably higher in the rain. I do not want to risk even one percent more." The same thing applies here. We are willing to accept a certain level of danger, but there is no purpose in raising it. It can be costly, difficult, and heartbreaking. What determines the percentage of risk? Obviously, it depends on the motorcycle. There is no doubt that the motorcycle must be in good operational condition.
There should be no leaks, and everything needs to be maintained and secured. The device should not fail. In addition, the mirrors must be removed, the headlights taped, and the number erased. In an accident, any of these parts can cause injuries as well as track debris. The laws of good manners (or the track day organizers' regulations) state that the antifreeze should be replaced with water. By the way, water cools more than antifreeze. The following point. It is desirable to have good tires. So there is a reserve grip.
This is physiology
The most convenient option is to purchase used "cut" tires from sportsmen, such as Dunlop 212 or Supercorsa. There is an idea that track wheels do not need to be balanced. Tires lose a lot of rubber throughout the race; their lifespan is short, thus there is no use in balancing. I did not balance; this is how I rode. You require heaters. With them, the grasp is secure. You don't have to waste time (or money) warming up the tires because you know they'll hold 100%. Even "civilian" tires, such as Diablo Rosso 2, benefit from warmers.
Because, in addition to the bike, your personal condition influences safety. Physical and mental. On the track, the pilot must be completely concentrated. Nothing should distract him. I see this image all the time: people riding are running, bustling, hanging around, and wasting their energy. Forget it. You came to the track to ride, and you must give it your all. That is why taking public transportation rather than driving yourself is more cost-effective. You should not drink the night before; instead, obtain adequate sleep and have a nutritious breakfast and lunch.
Conclusion
You need to consume meat, pasta, and slow carbs. You need energy on the track. You should drink more water, particularly mineral water, to replenish all of your electrolytes. Such basic guidelines, but following them will allow you to ride the races peacefully, avoid unnecessary risks, increase your time steadily, and gradually approach your limit. If you have good tires, put good brake pads for peace of mind. All men throughout history have dried up with the urge to run, not walk, to rush, not drag.
