My Pani is in the hospital so I took my street bike SF848.
1st time in Laguna Seca. This track was super great, weather was great, and much fun with friends that came down from the Bay Area.
Stock rearsets had a low clearance and was dragging the foot pegs...Need to get aftermarket sets if I am going to track SF848 more often.

Couple of shots from Jerez and Barcelona from my last two trackdays.
It is mandatory in Barcelona now to run the F1/new MotoGP track layout (shortened back straight and chicane instead of the second last corner). Unfortunately, this destroyed the track's fluid character entirely. Four first gear corners added are really more a fight then a pleasure.

Really sad to hear this as I've been looking at moving out to Barcelona and was looking forward to doing the track

I'll keep my inside hand open loosely while in the corner. But getting my upper body that low under the bike and still reaching the other bar over the tank.....me no can do. Maybe I'm getting too old

Left is hard enough but right is more difficult since you have throttle.
Above guy did it nicely

Haha yeah I was a bit disappointed that it looks contrived. I was obviously reaching down but did drag the elbow all around the corner about five times in a row so was hoping it would look natural. The BSB riders who were on track came by five seconds later with no elbow down, more lean angle and way more speed. They didn't get such a good picture to show their Gran though

Vid from the same day following my mate on his 1299. I had no electronics all weekend so my dash looks like a christmas tree with all the warning lights. The IMU and speed sensor were out which turns off everything; TC, WC, EBC,etc. The bike was savage for the first few days until I extended the shock which really helped to get it under control with the shorter Bridgestone V02 I was trying out so I was able to push a bit more on the last day. I put the usual Dunlop slicks on and immediately knocked two and a half seconds off my laptime! Turned out guys are using 22psi with the bridge stones instead of the 26psi factory recommended that I was using so that might have been part of the problem but the Dunlops definitely help to tame the angry R a bit.
