Вставка

- Probably the most fun I've ever had on two wheels. Was battling friends throughout the entire day, but this session in particular was epic fun. Friends are on the Aprilia and the Ducati.
April 27th 2024 Laguna Seca with Pacific Track Times: 2PM session
00:00: Heading out behind friends.
02:30: Pass Aprilia into T2, pass into T3.
03:40: Pass into Rainey curve.
05:00: Coming up on a big group of riders
05:35: Pass outside Rainey Curve
07:05: I get blocked a bunch up the hill and Ducati comes past me. Pass into the corkscrew so I can keep up with the Ducati.
07:40: Battle with big bike at T11 and T2
08:00: Chasing Ducati
10:40: Scary pass on outside of T5
12:00: Double pass on Ducati outside of T2
13:30: Sketchy moment as I lose control again into T11, bounce a bit but save it before running off. Two bikes come by on the straight because of my bad exit.
13:55: Pass Aprilia on the inside into T2
14:40: Pass exit of T5
15:15: Pass on the outside of T9 and Inside of T10 to keep up with Ducati. Aprilia almost comes by me on the straight but decides against it, but some other dude does. But I pass him outside into T2.
16:10: Pass Ducati inside T3 as he runs too wide on exit. Ducati passes me back into T5. Aprilia gets me up the hill. Chequered flag. We all head in.

Beautiful. It's always great to see the underdog succeed. I love how you were always leaving room for the other to do unpredictable things.
Almost makes me want to start riding again.
I, too, am a B group menace on a small bike. Shit is hilariously fun but can get kind of annoying running into traffic over and over. Solid riding 👌
nice driving, as we all can see, it is al about the driver not the bike, chapeau.
I thought I was already Duked but you got me hooked. That was awesome, I just traded a 22 Duke390-blacksilver- on the 24 Duke 390-blue-, it`s 90% different and twice as good as my last one, I love kTm😁.
Man I wish I could do this
NICE!
Fantastic job, I have a 2015 rc390 and have ridden it on a few uk trackdays. I love passing faster bikes on it. But also get frustrated when they hold you up
🥇🏆👑✨
Nice work, hitting your marks and maintaining momentum like a boss, so fun to yo yo with the big bikes and eventually break free.. Ive a 23 RC390, hitting Sonoma for 3rd track day yet, but this time on Diablo rosso 4’s, hoping to get into sub 2:10’s. What lap times were you running at Seca here, was that B group? Awesome vid!
Thanks! Yup, this is B group. This session had me lapping in the 1:52-1:54 range. The fastest I've gone around Laguna was a 1:49.97, I was slower this time but I was having a lot of fun weaving through the big bikes and battling with my friends.
I haven't been to Sonoma yet, but I plan to get out there sometime this season, maybe even in June. The tires make a huge difference, my RC gripped much better on Supercorsa SCs. Enjoy your Rossos, those are great too!
Wait a minute you're telling me that road racing comes down to skill and not who can spend more at the dealership and on useless accessories.
Who knew?
I hope you don't mind me asking, but how tall are you and how much do you weigh? I've thought about getting a smaller bike to do track days and build my skillset, but I've never felt comfortable on them. I wonder if it's possible to get one set up for a 6' tall/200lb rider.
I don't think the additional weight is gonna be too much of an issue, and I recommend getting a small bike for track, it teaches you all about corner speed and keeping the momentum.
Ultimately though it's a personal choice, and something like an RS660 would be the next best option if you strongly believe that a 400 won't cut it. That bike is light and nimble for its class.

Thank for the reply!
Any mods on your bike?
The only significant one is Pirelli Supercorsas instead of the stock tires, they're so much better for the track. Apart from that, a lithium battery and a K&N air filter, but otherwise pretty much stock.
@@geckods_riding some chasis suspension mods and this little 390 will be a menace on even a advanced rider track days or races. if u see this bike in ur mirrors ,chances r u r being overtaken from the outside in a corner
It is not a correct comparison, as there is no doubt that others have less experience and, therefore, less skill. In this case the bike doesnt matter. Find your match so you can lvl up your skill also.
there is nothing more satisfying than humbling dude's who think their bike is faster..
