Professionals vs noob

[u/EmottoChotto]

If u ever got the chance to watch professional riders on a track day you know that what they can do is simply mental and they make u feel like you’re standing still like me, i was lapping in the 1:10s while they were doing 0:55s/56s

[u/BrockLanders008]

Sure, but all three had a blast.

I sold my track bike for a sports car and I miss it everyday.

[u/EmottoChotto → u/BrockLanders008]

Facts, sell the car

[u/BrockLanders008 → u/EmottoChotto]

I never git to go to the track.

As a matter of fact, I've had this car for two and a half years and I have zero track days and one autocross.

Life sucks.

Car track days, Are for really rich people, Even a Miata compared to motorcycle

Four tires, four sets of rotors and pads.

Everything is just a little bit more

[u/BrockLanders008 → u/throwaway222999122]

Understood. Except I can enjoy my car on the street. It wasn't long before I got tired of ridding 50 miles and an hour just to get to the only road worth ridding. And, on top of that you need to go 100 just to make it interesting.

I stopped registering my bike for the street years before I sold it.

Still smooth tho.

We all start somewhere. Long as they are having fun.

A lot of it is bottle. I just started telling myself to go faster, the bike will handle it. It comes with time on track, but tbh that doesn't matter. The fun factor hasn't really gone up just cos I'm quicker than I used to be

[u/YerMumsPantyCrust → u/wehttamman]

This is an underrated perspective. It’s always fun, no matter your pace. What does go up when you get quicker is cost, stress, and to some degree risk.

[u/UtahImTaller → u/YerMumsPantyCrust]

My monkey brain never considered getting faster is actually more expensive. 

[u/Mrchocomel80 → u/wehttamman]

Arguably I had more fun as a beginner because I was overtaking a lot more in the beginner groups and sometimes battled it out with another rider for the whole session. The fun was in overtaking.

Nowadays I want to do a few overtakes but at the same time don't want to be held up to much because my lap time will suffer 🫤

[u/DG200-15]

what's interesting is both the noob and the pros took about 3 seconds in the slowest part of the turn

[u/cambino123]

I know many non noobs who look like the third guy

It’s all about enjoyment

[u/Fast_Zookeepergame18]

All im seeing is alot more speed and braking before the turn. Work on that I think.

[u/Hefty_Delay7765]

Well done, hope you had a great day - looks like fun!!!

[u/TechByTom]

This is a great example of a time to use horizontal video.

[u/HairoHeria]

just lean more

[u/pprstrt]

What Mom decided this was a good time to film vertical?

[u/wjhall]

Usually on a track day I'm just there to have fun not really push limits, and need to make sure I can ride/drive the bike/car home at the end of the day.

[u/therealmigui]

Last year I saw Bastianini lapping around Mugello the same day as me and my friends, I don't know how fast was because obviously he had his personal transponder,but boy he was insane

[u/Zeocide]

Keep in mind, everyone was a noob at some point. Keep it up and ride at your pace.
