thanks a ton.

i feel good about my riding when most of my lines match yours. though, apparently i need to enter the Sweeper more to the inside and work on the exit of the Bus Stop more.

can you confirm a few things for me plz? when you say you "use the throttle and open up your radius" going through the Sweeper, id assume you also removing some lean angle at the same time? is this faster because of the slight acceleration and better setup for the exit into the S's?

To put the bike where I want to go (prepare for the exit of the sweeper) I add throttle...adding throttle increases my radius. You could also take away lean angle and accomplish the same thing. I am slightly taking away lean angle when I add throttle...For example, if I added 15% throttle to bring my radius out there, I would take away 15% of the lean angle I was using at the time.

^Ken has given us cheat sheets for all 3 afm tracks.... the only excuse for not setting NPB's now for 90% of the paddock is failure to learn and apply. Thank you Ken! :thumbup

Thanks Ken! I have been to Buttonwillow once and now you have helped me unlock some things I was only thinking about since then. :teeth :thumbup Some very good tidbits for those who are watching and listening to the video
