NJMP Thunderbolt first trackday for the FZ1

[johnnyontherocks]

I'll continue with photos and hopefully some good video but for now just loading up she's all prepped and ready to go. Fairing from Crazybiker. I did not have time to fiberglass the light hole but did a expert duct tape job.

Have fun

Ride smooth, ride fast, and ride safe. Most of all have FUN! Bring her (and you) back in one piece.

Sorry not the greatest Video still trying to learn how to edit. On top of that this is my first session out first time at NJMP Thunderbolt really fun track. My card filled up and I could not empty files off of it so this is most of what I got.

There were 24 in my group. It cost 150.00 but I belong to TPM so it's discounted. Waiting to have another better last session vid

wow.. does the bike sound that good in person, or is it distorted from the camera?

if so, i think i need to order an exhaust!

 

[johnnyontherocks]

Except for that low rpm vibration from my junker fairing that the exhaust. I did have the waterproof back on the Gopro

Great video Johnny! Thanks for posting. I will get some next time I go out. I was only focused on the task at hand this time.

 

[johnnyontherocks]

Wished they would have shot a different corner.

I think those are great shots Johnny. I know that you'd probably want some "knee dragging" photos from a trackday. I would too. Maybe next time. Glad you had a good time!

nice pics.

I did get a couple of knees down. No my only issue is it was 45.00 for the photos and I have like 20 shots of this corner and 5 misc.(pulling into pit lane for example) shots little variety.

They are still great shots! Good for posterity.

 

[johnnyontherocks]

Oh yeah quality good variety bad.

I got ya and I could understand what you mean. Why pay all that money for 20 shots of basically the same thing. I've been to that track three times already and I know first hand how easy, even on race day, it is to get around to different turns. Maybe the guy was new or something.
