    Tuono's first trackday!!

    I've only done 4 trackdays, all on my VFR. Then took 2 years off due to financial bla bla bla... Well Monday is my first day back at the track amd I'm taking my new to me Tuono. Big Willow, me and the T. Any tips on riding a naked bike at the track would be welcome. Amauri set me up with fresh Ohlins shock new fork oil and improved gearing 520 chain and sprockets. Yeah seems like I am changeing too much all at once before the track but I've been so busy with work I really haven't rode it enough to have much feel for how to ride it fast.

    I chose C group for this reason. No pressure to up the pace until I get the feel for it. Most of my friends going will be in B group so I can get their feed back too. Thanks Amauri for getting me squared away. Good to have a mechanic I can trust and afford.

    SO STOKED! I understand the one rule for Aprilia riders is to blow past as many Ducatis as possible. I was told they like that.

    thats a fast track so remember to keep tucked down the back and front stretches. with all the things going threw your mind you might forget the simple stuff. Oh you can go just as fast in the c group as the b group

    Watch out for turn 3, it doesn't seem to tricky but it sure sucks a lot of people in, including myself.
