The flavor had started reasonably well, despite a piteous showing amongst fourth house inwards V5 at Summit Point. I purchased a proper matching raise pelting tire then every bit non to larn caught out again. The adjacent termination would last Road Atlanta 3 weeks later, in, you lot guessed it, Atlanta, GA. This was a novel to me rail in addition to a fairly long viii lx minutes get from Virginia, but besides 1 of the biggest events on the 2014 Schedule. V5 in addition to V6LW were scheduled for the Fri in addition to Clubman in addition to D-Superbike on Saturday.
I changed the oil, checked the valve clearances in addition to cylinder caput torque in addition to went over every inch of the motorbike during the downtime. You would last amazed at the lilliputian things you lot uncovering looking it over inwards the garage. Little things that tin give-up the ghost actually large problems at the track. I bring seen then much stupid shit proceed during races that could bring been prevented past times merely checking in addition to re-checking everything whenever you lot bring the time. Exhausts falling off, banjo bolts falling out of stone oil lines, fairing lowers coming unloosen in addition to dropping to the ground. Under fighting conditions, anything non 100% tin in addition to volition fail. Yes, at that topographic point is tech inspection, but inwards the end, it is the rider's responsibility, non a race rail official, to last certain the wheel is sound.
I made a habit to produce something that would farther my racing every day. Whether working on the bike, or studying the adjacent track, preparing the van, it became a daily ritual to ensure that I was at to the lowest degree 1 footstep closer. I intend that is how championships are won, inwards the preparation, the attending to item in addition to the willingness to commit to in addition to never lose sight of the goal. As opposed to waiting betwixt races, I decided to ever last getting gear upward for the adjacent one.
