Nice control, and no panic. Ice in your blood!
That is an example of why you NEVER shift in turns... you could have very easily high-sided right there.
Glad you were able to recover and stay on two wheels!
Looks like mikes first time on a bike lmao
Im confused what happened here? It doesn't look like you are even going that fast...
He fell into a false neutral accidentally shifting mid corner. When he went back into gear it caused the tire to slide almost high siding. - Tim
Why so nervous in the feet?? Just shift to first and use the clutch to soften the kick. Don’t just dump it. Or just keep it in 2nd.
It was my first time on track so I was nervous all over, and I am used to rev matching so I didn't use the clutch when trying to re-engage the gear. Since it was in neutral between 2nd and 3rd I needed to shift back into gear but...
I should have waited til after the turn and I should have gone up to 3rd not down for 2nd. And yeah, using the clutch would have really helped preventing the scare. ~Mike
@@TheDucatiDads well, you could have also put it back in second and finished the turn without getting bucked, and not carrying too much speed. My thought process is, it’s better to bog it out than to slide it out. Second, 2nd gear seems like the correct gear to take the corner if you were at full speed and lean, so get used to keeping it in 2nd, and just bring up the entry speed a little if you feel comfortable. Taking turns in 1st gear is pretty dangerous because the gear is so short. So best to stick to 2nd and not risk any surprises.
@@TheDucatiDads Ya when shifting early/mid-corner, you gotta be slow and smooth to not upset the rear-end.
