had a zx636cf6 the very same model as in this clip. also have the zzr1400 at present! but think to much of it, to track it. this guy was doing quite well untill he lost the back end. he may have been a bit to heavy on the rear brake or to heavy on the throttle that caused the wheel to loose grip. or may be like the zx636 the slipper clutch may have prevented this! either watch the clip right through or fast forward to 4.20. it broke my heart to see the state of the zzr1400 at the end of the clip :'(

The bloke on the ZZR is waaaaay of line, looks line he is deliberatly squaring the corner off too get the ole knee slider down, just before he drops it you can see he picks the bike up cos he's about to run wide, bit of panic, bit of 'target fixation' on the hedge ... and off he goes!

Track days can be great fun, we did a few last year including one of the 'Bike mag' ones, they were a great laugh and there were quite a few GTR's, FJRs and RT's along... Smarty (my other half who has also done the California Superbike school) took great pleasure in denting a few male egos on her bandit.. lol
She is like the Bumblebee, she should not fly....... and yet she does!
