It was a good day, I was out with you and saw you on the floor, it happens but good to have a slow low side and get your wings !, I will be at Cadwell aswell- 18th ?
Hey Ian, sorry if I got in your way at all! Ye better to have that happen at 40mph then 140mph eh! I think i'm doing the Monday which is the 17th of August so will miss you by a day i'm afraid, good luck! I'm looking forward to it though!
Great vid Dan for a first track day think you did well. Was actually probably good that you did your first low side as a lot of people fear it and can stop then fun. Sure you will improve the more you do and looking forward to being on track with you some time soon.
Yes mate lots to learn, I agree 100% falling off like that has put that worry slightly out of my mind, I was still taking it easier around that corner as the day went on. Be ace to get out together, really looking forward to the next one 👍
Really not bad first crash at the track! You're leaning more than necessary though with that body position. You should really learn the proper body positioning for your next track day. It'll reduce your chances of another lowside and you should push less when the track is wet unless you have racing wet tires :).
Funnily enough I did have a bit of a "whoopsy" at my next track day, was Monday just gone, not quite the same situation but could well be my body position not helping, just finishing up editing the video at the minute should be up in the next day or two. Thanks very much for your reply, all critique taken on board 👍 Cheers
Thanks bud, this whole video was done using my Gopro session. All the earlier vlogs working on the bike in the garage were using my phone. The Gopro wide lens is soo good that's why I've gone back to it. Ye fitted the camera in a perfect position as if I knew I was going to crash ha! 😅 cheers
I didn't at that particular event or the last llandow day I done however I will be at Pembrey this weekend and a front brake guard is required so I now have one fitted 👍
@@dan_the_drifter321 I’ve just driven north Devon to pembrey only to not have read you need one!! Hoping someone had a spare at the track tomorrow or else I’ve spunked money on fuck all!! Never known a guard needed on a track day 🤷🏼♂️
@@sutt5828 ah that's a shame I'm also from Devon so understand the distance however I'm sure there will be a local bike or accessory shop open first thing tomorrow you could buy one from? Good luck, let us know how ya get on.
Second bike track day click here, I 'may' have fell off again 😂 ua-cam.com/video/Rw8TXvW5AO4/v-deo.html

@@dan_the_drifter321 you never got in my way, much better at 40mph than 140mph so I hear ! lol.
Great day Dan! hopefully see you on another track day soon 👍
Yes mate for sure, maybe even get out laning if you can hold off selling the ktm to buy a track bike 😂

I do Pembrey a few times a year it’s my local track, I love it. Cadwell is the best track I’ve ridden. Amazing place 👍🏻
Awesome, very lucky its your local 👍 I will take a look at your channel if you got a couple pembrey vids on there.
Dan_the_drifter havdd Ed got some old ones, I do 8-10 trackdays a year but don’t upload much
@@Mat_500 Nice, will probably see you there sometime then, sure I will be back next year really enjoyed Pembrey, wish me luck for Cadwell next week!

@@dan_the_drifter321 Good luck and remember to have fun!
Good video mate , which camera are you using.... I like the crash , nice gentle fall and slip 😬😬

Dan_the_drifter no worries mate. Nice video
Did you need a front brake protector for the track day at pembrey
I didn't at that particular event or the last llandow day I done however I will be at Pembrey this weekend and a front brake guard is required so I now have one fitted 👍
