In a sprint race the start is everything. In the past I have always considdered myself a pretty good starter. The secret is practice, practice, practice. That&#8217;s been my problem with the MGS01 , no practice. Most race tracks these days won&#8217;t let you practice starts.  <\/p>\n<p>Today I remedied the situation. I found a quiet country road near my home town. I taped over my race numbers, put on regular riding gear and did some practice. The MGS01 is not all that easy to get off the mark. It&#8217;s tall gearing makes first gear a challenge. Then once your rolling it wants to turn circles. Anyway practice makes perfect. I got in about 20 starts before I thought I should get the hell out of dodge before someone called the cops. All went well and I am now confident I can get it off the line much better than I did in broadford. <\/p>\n<p>Another piece in the puzzle. <\/p>\n<p>Regards MotoGuzziMike from my iPhone  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have noticed from the race footage that my starts were very ordinary.
