Alright guys, let me hear your best slow rider jokes. Or ask a question here about my first track day I may have missed. That works too :P

Boys are always faster. That's life. :D
Good on ya for giving it a crack. It's always good thing to challenge yourself, go outside your comfort zone and learn something new.
Something about using a calendar instead of a stopwatch? :-)
how fast did you go? braver than me, i never took my to the track but i hit high speed on the hwy once in awhile, thinking of track make me nervous
bahahahha you better stop that!
Speed comes with experience. As long as you are safe and having fun, it’s all that’s matters.
Welcome!
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast
I haven't even finished watching the vid and will tell you who cares if you are the fastest or slowest. As long as you are having fun. Well done.
Great to see you running some laps! If you ever find yourself in TX I've got two facilities you can check out (Eagle's Canyon Raceway and Harris Hill Raceway)
I bet you won the slow race, so, there's that. You definitely look very cool in the still pictures. You can never learn too much, take every class you can. Good job Doodle.
Bahahaha you’re right!! That’s why I was going slow, I was just practicing my RIDE LIKE A PRO skills!!!
Actually you're doing just fine for your first track day! Forget about getting passed. My first time I didn't pass a single person. It's a lot to get used to, both the overall track experience as well as the line and techniques. But you did the right thing by not exceeding your limits. With practice and experience the speed will come naturally.
Joy dance at the end was the highlight. It made me chortle..
Speed is relative, and as long as you have fun, learn and grow, I'd say it was a good first track day! And, since you bought a suit for yourself, I'd say you had a blast! 🤓 Great video Doodle! Thanks for the info, as well. 👍🏽
Can't wait to watch Doodle learn the joys of no traction on dirt! Don't worry, it's actually a lot of fun once you get used to it. 😉
U rock sister. Good to see u out there learning
Well done girl. You are a superb reference and inspiration for many. Keep it going and always positive :-)
The best tip; "Don't feel pressured and progress at your own pace".
LOLZ.... dancing at the end was worth waiting for...!!
Just so inspiring and fun to watch you!!!
If anyone complains about your track day they most likely never had the nerve to even try one.......you did great. Start slow then learn and speed comes later after comfort.
Just glad to have you back. Speed comes with time and experience.
Best slow rider joke, ok here goes. Your kickstand leans your bike more than you do! Nice video. I just completed my first full year of riding my first big boy bike, a '19 Kawasaki Z900RS. I'm really looking forward to taking it out on a track day also. I like your bike!
Hi Doodle, It was great that Kate was with you too, both your first track day. The most important thing is that you enjoyed the experience, it wasn't a race day! it was a great learning experience, and glad to share it with you.
Hi Doodle, great to see you on the track with Kate, so this is only your second time and you can only ride at a speed at which you feel safe, and not to endanger others by getting out of control!, a very disciplined ride and you looked real cool. It's not all about speed, more about control which only comes with practice, it looked like a real twisty track!
Congratulations Doodle on doing your very first Track Day. The first of many I’m sure. The more you do Track Days the better you’ll get. Well done. You accomplished something most only dream about.
That dance at the end made my day. Which was already pretty good anyway.
We have many "sayings" in bike racing but one is "The harder you try the slower you'll go"
Translation to that is to relax on the bike, body and mind, don't grip the bars tight, don't make sudden moves, be smooth on brake and throttle and be fluid from one action to the next.
Also, on the track unlike the road you need to have your eyes looking ahead as far into the distance as you can and not others around you, don't try to second guess others on the track as it will only stress you out, they can see you and will go around you if they are faster so just hold your line, keep it smooth and have fun.
Great video, great information on what to bring, and love the victory dance. Keep up the great content. We are all supporting your journey.
Hadn't seriously considered taking my VTX 1300 to a track until now, considering the tiny angle where the floorboards start scraping. But you've given me a whole new outlook with open eyes and a huge grin, maybe I wont be the slowest one after all!
Exactly everything I was curious about track day, thanks!
That's awesome. Thank you for sharing your experience. Doing my first track day at the same track soon. Excited/nervous for sure!
That is something I have always wanted to do myself. The distance to a track from where I live has kept me from doing it. I am 49, my bike 16. I guess I should do it while we still can!
Yes!! Gotta make it happn' Capn'!
Super cool. You were right to start slowly the first time around. It's the newbies who try to be a hero their first time out who end up crashing.
2:42 Awesome video.. enjoy your sense of humor as well. Keep up the great work. 😎
Somehow I just like to hear you talk, cute and funny and at the same time it has very good information too.
This was awesome, Its all about the experience you gain in the controlled environment of a track, you did great for the first of hopefully many times
Super happy you made it to track day. Hope you find more time on the track soon
I have a lot of great memories from the track days I rode at Little Tally. Peter Xenakis, founder of STT was a good friend and is sorely missed, RIP Pete.
you crack me up and at the same time give motivation ! Keep up the good work I'm about to modify my buck list
Love your videos, your so much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, thanks for posting! Outstanding you have the fortitude to get out they for a track day. First time out - I would expect to be passed, just getting through the day and enjoying your time is all that matters. And on the still shots you cannot tell how fast you are going, they just look great!
I started doin track days with stt this year as well. Absolutely loved it. Only thing i regret is not doin it sooner. Don't stop riding, stay smart, keep that thing on 2 wheels.....or one...whichever u prefer😉
GREAT vid. Thanks for sharing and well done staying inside your own race and not racing someone else's envelope.
I'm looking forward to getting my race suit in February and then doing my first track early in 2020! Thanks for sharing our experience!
That's quite the happy dance doodle. Great content
Thank you for this! Doing my first track day this Friday and even in the novice class I know I'll be getting passed alot. 🤣❤️
great Job Carolyn! I'm so happy you gave it a go and hope to see you back out there next season. 1st time is always intimidating but you know what, everyone is there for the same reason and that's to have fun! Never worry about how fast or not you are, the speed will come with seat time :)
Thanks so much girl!! 😁😁😁 forgot to let you know I mentioned you in this video!! 🤣
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle i saw haha!! thank you and no worries at all. I'm just glad you went out there
Looks fun!! I'm looking to do my first track day here as well, maybe a few times before doing some track days at Barber, just down the road.
I love that the video ends with a nice dance.
I got the moooooves
Careful. Next it will be more track days in the quest for a better time. I just got back on the track after almost 10yrs. It’s a bug that never goes away. Good luck in your quest and don’t forget to have fun while you are beating yourself up for being so slow. 😀 I assure you that your slowest feeling lap will usually be your fastest.
Very cool! Your videos are hilarious. Keep it up and be safe riding!
Lol. Give it time. When you know the track you will get better. Good job.
Good job! Trackdays are not (entirely) about going fast, but having fun!
Hey Doodle! I've been encouraged to do Track Day by my instructor bros. Especially when I passed my ride test the chief said our braking technique sucked. Cumulatively. Big thing as riders is that we keep working on our passion and proficiency. I can brake Fiona way more aggressively than I did, Great vid though, I'm in.
Yes girl!! 🙌 Don't trip on the speed. Mine was painfully slow too but there were a lot of lessons learned. Looks like you're hooked!!
Cool experience.. thanks for sharing .. that's on my list
Love your vids Doodle. Keep it up. Merry Christmas.
Nice job for first track day ! Get the feel for it ! Smart riding ! The more you go, the better your lines and faster your times ! Welcome back doodle noodle 😎🤘🏽
If you had fun and learned some stuff then you did every thing right!
Hey Im a coach for Sportbike tracktime and was wanting to let you know they have a ladies only day at tally every year. Might want to try that sometime as well. They have giveaways and they usually do a mock race. It’s a great time. Keep up the good riding!!
I think last time it was on Memorial weekend and I couldn’t go! 😭 boyfriends family does INDY500 every year
Very nice. Glad to be of service.
Nice to see you back doodles.
Very cool video, looks like you had a blast.
Welcome back doodles
Oh doodles that was some frikin awesome dance moves, you go girl! 💕
Yeaaaa buddy!
Nice vid..one other thing that helped me was to study the track layout before the track day. This way you get to know the track better and can better setup for corners, thereby increasing speed and decresing lap times!
Great vid girl keep em coming
You made me laugh, thanks! Today I did the mandatory track day to get the license, and I was the slowest one, so bad that the instructor made me ride with him as a passenger.
Who cares how fast you went on your first track day?! So happy to see that Beautiful smile on your face and glad you had fun! Oh, and saved some money in the process! Ride on Doodle girl!
I just did my first track day / school this weekend. I got passed by literally everyone too lol ! Thanks for posting this! I live in TN, and I didn't know there was any track day organization like this anywhere near me (i.e. close / affordable). I normally ride a Harley, but I got bit by the track day bug. I will definitely be checking this place out
Sweet! 😁😁
I've been an STT member since 2002! Great time, Great people and awesome race tracks!! I live 25 minutes east of the Autobahn country club in Joliet Illiois so if you ever come out this way for a track day look me up!! BTW great video and track day advice. Have fun!!!!!
Doodle is back and still the best🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️
Just enjoy and have fun
Awesome video doodle! Glad you had a fun trackday!
Hi what a great day you have had you will get the hang of the track the more you go hopefully your self an your friend will go dert bikeing and have a totally awesome day so I will be expecting a hole lot of vlogs in the future well done 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😏😏👌👌
Looks like so much fun. You are awesome!!
Great to see you back
My second bike (bought it in 2011) was a new Triumph street triple 675. First time on a Triumph, I was sold immediately. Had a lot of fun with it!!! Also my first trackday, Now, i ‘ve got a daytona, this body position suits me better... hope u enjoy your Triumph as much as I do :-)
Sweeeeet #bikebrotha
Do u ride much?
3:45 That's not your tires being "beat up", that's from you riding over what's called "tire marbles", which are pieces of shredded tire from soft track tires that basically shred themselves as they are used. This means you were likely riding outside of the right racing line, or you crossed over the outside of the line to get on or off the track. This is why your tire became smooth again, because it wasn't from your tire in the first place.
No it’s what happens to everyone’s tires at this track.
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Yes, because they pick up marbles too. I wasn't insulting you, I was saying you picked them up when you went off line at some point, possibly going into the pits as you will have to go off line to do that. I have quite a few track days in various vehicles on many different compounds, those big chunks weren't from your tire wear, it's marbles sticking to your tires. Tire wear, at its worst, will generally just look like fuzzy rubber, those big chunks are always marbles and that's why they clean up so quickly/easily when you drive the tires on a normal road.
You may not have been the fastest but you had fun and looks like you learned a lot.
Awesome! Keep it up girl! BTW it was nice to meet you this summer at TWO. I'm going to Barber this coming Monday for a track day. I hope I don't freeze my nuts off, but I can't get enough of the track. So many things I need to get better at. Probably the biggest is braking. I tend to brake way too early coming into a turn and that's mostly due to fear of going too fast and loading the front end too much. Anyways, ride on!
sweet!! RedSpade and one of my friend's, Emily (on the black/ gold triumph with a matching suit) is going to be there this weekend too!
MotoPilot Next time forget the brakes completely.
Doing that you will give yourself more time to concetrate line, body position, vision, throttle.
Brakes kill the speed and throw you off the balance and makes cornering a lot more difficult.
Very cool I would love to do that one day just one suggestion instead of taping up your mirrors I would take them completely off great video
That looked like alot of fun doodle. I'm going to save my money for a track day.
Opie Caylor was my instructor at Kevin Schwantz's school. Great guy! Not a bad rider.
Hey D,
Ur a crack up.
Glad u learnt some stuff and had a great time.
There's always going to be someone on a faster bike, good on em.
Doesn't matter wot ur riding, ur still riding, and thats the point.
Njoy D
👍🌈🌏💜😂
Such a cool experience, thanks for sharing it with us 😊
You were hilarious....hahaha...in a good way! I was entertained! Thanks! I have yet to do a track day but will likely do a dirt track day first....coz over here I think it's cheaper coz we get to rent not only the suits but the bikes too! Btw, the speed triple is a very popular bike here. I ride the MT09 tho. Take care and looking forward to your other entertaining videos!
As long you had fun! Doesn’t matter how fast you are on the track. It’s how consistent you are in each lap... the speed will come as you get more consistent on your skills (braking, bady positioning, throttle input, and set up on your bike) (suspension 😉👍)
It looks like you had a blast!!
Welcome to the real addiction 😁😉👍
finally got my first track day! I was the slowest rider but loved it!
Woohoo!! 😁❤️❤️
I've been waiting for this one. You probably rode lots faster than you ever have on the street and learned a lot about lean angle and what your bike is capable of. And you didn't go down. I'd say very successful first outing. Fun wasn't it? :)
SO fun! :D aching for another one! next one i'll have to do 2 days instead of just 1
Looks so fun! I need to try!
I love the dance at the end hahaha
🤪🤪
hey your slowest time beats my never been time.
Take your bike to the California Superbike School when they are at Barber Memorial Weekend in May. You will progress leaps and bounds faster and safer than just a t a track day
Thank you Doodle very informative, I never thought about snacks, water, compression socks, leggings and top or a seat and canopy. Good stuff. Why do they tape up your mirrors and reflectors?
In case you go down on the track, there won’t be debris scattered everywhere to clean up!!
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Oh wow, makes sense, thx 👍🏾
Love your vids. One of the things I like the most is you're self-effacing humor. You obviously took it seriously, without taking yourself to seriously. You obviously had fun. So what was the reasoning you passed on the Road Atlanta?
Keep riding and keep it real.
Road Atlanta is more expensive, longer, has blind corners, etc. Not bad features, but maybe not the best place for a first track day. Talley is almost flat and easy to learn because it's short
I know nothing about either, so thanks for the info. I'd thought about taking a riding course, like Keith Code's or California Superbike. I know there's one i Atlanta and I'd heard there was one in Talladega. The latter sounds like a better beginner place.
@@johnthomas2485 check out Sportbike Track Time's website. You can email them and ask for a free first track day like Doodle did
Opi from Caylor Made - who has about 100K miles of experience on Tally, Road ATL, Jennings, and any other track I could find not too far from Atlanta, highly recommended it for a first timer. I think Redspade, also an avid track rider on the tracks on the east coast, recommended it for first timers too
You have to start somewhere, I would also look into N2 trackdays and Trackday winner as well. Roebling Road is a great track to start on because it teaches cornerspeed and there are no heavy breaking areas.
I learnt more from driving on a track that made me a better driver on the street... You'll appreciate it as well
cool vid, i never saw anyone have that big of a smile turning a breaker bar . . lol
First time at a track I could not get over 2nd gear. But this is not the important part. You need to grow and get comfortable with the bike there and the setup. Get the suspension and tyre pressure setup help from track or bike schooling assistance. This will set Your basics to a safe level and You can then get faster and more precise at a better pace.
And stay safe. And have fun. Definately have fun.
Your tyres weren't beat up. Your tyres picked up rubber from the track left by other bikes. That's why it cleared up nicely on your mountain riding.
🤪
Fast or slow doesn’t matter. You finished. That’s the cool part.
Love those covers for the lights,signals, mirrors very cool. You rode Very slow racing but that would probably me too. My jelly wish I could go track racing but am to chicken. And that comes from a guy that’s been riding since I was 18 and am 57 now but my bike is my car. Cars suck!! Bikes rule!!!! Jk I lime cars but very very limited lol. You go gurl! JC
Doodle, more story telling, please. ❤️
Whacha mean? 😋 In this video or in future videos?
Lol. 😂 Great video. Do more track days. Get fast. You got it.
thanks for believing in me 😂😂😂
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Awesome vid Doodle! (why is your name the same as a boy's favourite anatomy).
Those street tyres sure get punished on the track, makes me wanna cry.
You seem surprisingly well adjusted and must be very popular.
I appreciated your efforts to publish & will keep watching U. 😳
😭 that nickname does not mean that I’m USA!! Definitely not popular but hopefully I treat the people I run across with respect
looks like fun
Ha! Good video. Love seeing new riders come along to the track! 4 years in myself. Little Tally is the worst track in history. If you thought that was fun, please try others around you. I HATE Little Tally....Road Atlanta and Barber are amazing but very different tracks. Jennings is a lot of fun too. Good luck and I'm sure we'll see you next season!
