Just got back from two days at Thunderhill on the 600. I’ve been on SVs so long that I really don’t know how to ride an inline 600 properly and although I could probably figure it out with enough time, I felt the time had come to seek professional help. If you’re a fan of motorcycle racing then you know that Doug Chandler is considered to be one of the best racers to ever throw a leg over. Doug is a friend of ours which made the experience that much better since we already have a relationship.
The tires on my 600 already had 4 days on them and were kind of shot but I didn’t really want to spend money on what would probably be my last trackday this year. And besides, I would be riding at a reduced pace to learn and try new techniques and ideas. I learned so much in one day that I couldn’t even wrap my head around all the things that need to be changed in my riding, but the good news is that I understand exactly what I need to do and now have a path to get to those goals. I’ve never had any sort of schooling or instruction and have survived this long by just watching and learning as I went.
With a little bit of work I was able to get to low 1:59s in traffic and feel there’s much more time to be made and know how to do it. Looking forward to next season! 
Good show! I look forward to seeing your 600 progress next season.
