The TZ 250 at Nate Kern event Austin GP circuit

Fun event. Not fastest laps but was nice to work on riding and braking. Still had multiple riders go by at end of long straights to only go 25 MPH in the corner. Bike can have the carbs leaned a little more. Had stumbling issues in many of the same spots that the 500 does. Had to drop forks 5 millimeter to get clearance on bodywork. I hit the wind screen and lower bodywork with front tire under braking. COTA is one of the only tracks where I think this can happen. There are a few new bumps that have appeared. Turn 6 after the esses and tun 14. Most others have been repaired well enough for us mortals.. Will see what the GP riders say. I put another video together that shows the race lines with some extra info and will get it posted.

And great video Paul!

I saw 131 mph on the straightaway. You are really riding that thing. It's great to see you close in on them on the turns.

Did you know the date stamp is 12/9/21 on your video? Change the date on your camera?

Yes I saw that after I was done. I accidentally turned the date stamp on and never set it correctly. Will turn the date off. Getting a heart rate monitor that will connect to the Garmin camera. Should be interesting. Saw 182 and Jim Doyle told me i was not breathing. Concentrated on breathing next session and went to 158.
