TVS Off-Road Track Day – Training With Aravind KP

We had a lunch break after that and as we came back Abdul and Aravind told us individually what mistakes we were doing and a majority of it was in the braking section. So they set up cones again on the flat area and trained us on how to complete our braking. By the end of it, everyone got a chance again to get out on the track and let it all out! Abdul and Aravind were quite happy with our improvements that by the end of it they were going all out, popping wheelies next to us and taking jumps while we were going around it. While no one was watching I popped a few wheelies for myself too and the RTR 200 would take it out without breaking a sweat!

By the end of the day, I requested the TVS team to allow me to ride the RTR 300 FX but I was denied. However, I didn’t feel bad because the whole day had been tiring yet full of learning. It would have been fun to ride the RTR 300 FX which looks like a proper motocross motorcycle but the RTR 200 is nothing less. It never felt slow or left out, it rather felt too fast for some corners. To summarize, just one complete day of training does not bring out a champion but it taught us enough to manage our day-to-day riding. While it will also help in the one-make race as I would more be focused on managing my body position and have better throttle control.
