Some advert that 😍
2019....just before covid.... Did your dad's school at Knockhill with my dad... My father had 2 piece leathers that didn't zip together. Your dad loaned us Taz's spare 1 piece!! What a legend, saved the day! 🤘😍🤘
pretty cool of Niall, but I'm not surprised. What a great guy!
Agree totally on not pushing it in the last session of the day - that's when I lowsided on my track day, in the sixth and final session! The other recommendation I'd make regarding hydration and nutrition - really you want to get on top of this in the days leading up to your track day as well. So don't just start drinking water on the day - have a bottle with you in the days prior, and keep at it. Your pee should be almost clear on the morning of the track day.
Super helpful, thank you!
Am I the only one that thinks we need some more Mad Mark videos… that was some great content!
Mad Mark has called and he wants to talk in July
awesome points ,thank you
Many thanks for the skill set review! Respect!
Great advice, after a couple of track days this year I understand what you are saying. Especially the baby steps progress. And the body position part is really great, thanks!
Great tips Sir, i am glad you mentioned food coma because i never used to eat much during the day at my local track. But then i went down to Philip Island for a double header and on the second day i couldnt resist the fantastic hot meals on offer at the canteen. I even had pudding.
Next session second lap i lobbed into the gravel trap coming out of the Hayshed.
Never do pudding at a track day.😋
It has always been a delight to watch you three MacKenzie boys racing, and I have always enjoyed listening to what each of you have had to say about and around motorbike racing. Go the MacKenzie Clan: much appreciated.
Thanks very much!
You guys make the best videos! I don't know what else to say. Niall I just wish some of your buddies from the 500 era would make video's like this.
What a guy , I have a poster of the 87 gp on my wall with the man himself at the bottom and he has the greatest rug of hair 😂, Niall the man !!
Terrific insight, thanks Niall.
I did my first (and only) track at New Jersey Motorsports Park in 2015 on a school supplied BMW1000RR. Whilst I found the acceleration to be impressive, coming from a Triumph Explorer) it was the braking performance that amazed me the most. As I approached the end of the straight my brain kept saying 'brake you fool' but I knew I could brake much later based on previous laps. It was a battle to overcome the survival instinct and just trust the bike and my own limited ability. Great fun!
I really liked the demonstration. Best explanation I've ever heard. All the small adjustments in technique will make the difference.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The use of gears a great tip, so same every lap.
Top instructor 👍🏼great advise. Hopefully see you at Silverstone 👌🏼🏍
Cheers Gary!
Great advice, from Jedi Master😎
The legend himself!
Did your dads school last year and this year. Soon going to start live streaming my Knockhill trackdays live!!
I like the adjustsble brake lever protector.
Really helpful video .Tempted to try the BMW Academy at mallory park ...🤔
Get yourself there one day it’ll be great 😎
Wish I had a bike to actually go on a track day with 😢 but great video regardless!!
Great advice, I always told myself if I had 5 good sessions, I didn't go out for the last one, as the temptation is to " give it extra beens" because you haven't got another one booked for weeks or months! I would also add don't listen to local advice/ fear mongering, me an my mate were talking to a newbie at Oulton unknowingly putting the fear of God in him regarding Island bend. First fast lap, straight off, wrote a very nice cbr600 vr rep plus all his vr replica leathers and helmet, I'm sure Jamie Whit and the late shuey had a chuckle in the garage 🤣
Ha Ha Niall, we were at a meeting together at RAF Ouston (Albemarle barracks) back in the day. You won the 350 proddy and I won the 250 proddy class. Practice was mixed, I dont remember you taking your time to learn the circuit, you were going like ten men when you passed me lol. One point if I may. before I raced I did a couple of mornings at Croft, my local circuit. It was called machine testing, no instructors, few other people so no one to follow. I found it best to do 6 or 7 laps then stop and think what didnt feel right, or where I could improve a line, brake later etc. Go out, do another few laps and think again. As you allude to, riding is tiring when you arent used to it. Anyway, I followed your career and others from those early days. Well done.
Top man real star
I really want to thank you for this.
No problem 😁 I have more useful info and guides here stan.store/taylormac77

Niall was/is an ultra smooth and fast rider, anything he says is good by me 👍 He isn't Mad Mark though, that chap has taped up glasses and a tache !!
Wise words from a master! I just hope my son gets his Gixxer ready in time!
I know when I am to old to do a trackday as I found myself riding around Donington last week saying to myself this trackday costs the same as 22 fry ups at the cafe 😝
Nice one Niall great info. Is it just me or does Niall share a striking resemblance to Mad Mark.?🤔
That was 👍
Huge fan of his son Championi trying out for the Moto1's!
Great video. I have only about 15 track days and am still unsure when to move my butt off to the inside. Many coaches say to move on the straight before hitting the brakes. However Taylor in another video indicated he was moving right after going on the brakes, I like that better as an older rider I can use the brake force to help me move and save energy. Also, I have a long car racing history and like to be "squared up" and not off to one side when I hit the brakes hard. Comments? Thanks
Either or is fine, the main thing to think about is making sure you are there before you are getting close to the apex. If you do it close to the apex it can upset the bike.
@@tmac77 Thank you. I will be quoting you on this now!
That guys a dead ringer for a chap I know called Mad Mark! 😯
We need a mad mark version 😂
Championi 🎉
Tarran used a brake lever on the left side for his rear brake when I saw his BSB bike a couple of years back, what's the idea behind that? Is it because you can't always reach the rear brake if your knee's pointed out in a right hand turn? Taylor used a thumb brake, right?
That's exactly it!
I always fancied a track day but too tight to buy one piece leathers and buy a standard pipe for SDR as no way is it passing decibel measurement
Thankfully no dB limit at Knockhill... No scrutineering.. The only track in the UK I've ridden without a noise test... 🤘❤️🤘
👍👍
what i like to tell noobs is prepare yourself for some serious double digit G forces and for that you will need a nice sticky compound and a steady hand..
you need come florida show me how stop for red flag next time i go good video 😃
Don’t forget to bring a fold up chair, dam it
Follow his advice, he's been a couple of times around on a bike...
Probably more miles in the race track than the miles you do a couple of times around the world in a plane... 😅
😂
Why aren't you watching the TT's? Sidecars running right now.
Why is Mad Mark pretending to be someone else?
Taylor looking old these days now he's gone bald
