I see what you are saying about my helmet. Normally before I go out, I check in my car window to make sure I haven't moved it too far down on my face. As for my sunglasses and sight, I never thought about it because it's never been an issue on my street rides.

No arm fatigue whatsoever. I did mention to Cassie on Monday morning that I had noticed on turn 4 and 9 that the steering seemed much more difficult than it should have been. I had made the connection on my own that my left arm was tensing up and I was fighting myself while trying to countersteer. Once I consciously started telling myself to loosen up that arm on those turns, it was better. In my last session video you can see the effect of this, especially on turn 9. I seem wobbly on the turn. that's because I was trying to get used to doing the turn while having no fight going on/keeping my left arm relaxed. I did not notice this during any of the left turns at all, my right arm stayed relaxed. Maybe I did have some overall tension throughout the weekend off and on, but never anything to where my arms were sore or tired.

I don't normally ride with me lady bits right up on the tank. Normally I am the way Chris taught me, I can put my fist between me and the tank. However, my leathers were making my bum slide any time I got on the throttle, so I scooted up so my legs could lock me on better as needed.

I've got in my notes, body position and staying loose up top are two of the many things for me to work on when I make it out next. I will be grabbing my helmet soon and checking out the sight with my glasses on in a bit
