Well, thanks again to everyone for their input. It is VERY MUCH appreciated.
As far as going 200 the first time out- maybe I have given the wrong impression. It is NOT my intent to do that, but rather to understand what skill-set is required (I'm trying to figure out what I need to work on, and IF I can work on it anywhere but Maxton). In my track (road racing) experience, it's usually the best student who asks the most questions (and learns from the answers) that excels.
Maybe I should go about it this way.......
Here is video of where I'm at skill-set-wise. Though I'm not going anywhere near as fast as you guys do, I am very comfortable at speed. Slamming on the brakes from 135 is something I don't think twice about. Headshake at triple digits (although not in the video) is something I don't think twice about (with help from Scott's). I feel as though I have a pretty disciplined right hand, given the lean angle I'm used to (even though I AM on an SV650).

So.......
-do you guys think there are any skills from road racing that translate into LSR?
-what kind of changes in setup and riding technique affect speed? (suspension setup? body positioning? is more a matter of being able to get the power down?)
-what are the fundamentals? (In road racing Keith Code's "a twist of the wrist" books are the agreed upon standard)
-what did the person that got hurt doing 191 do wrong? (with all due respect to that person, going roughly 50% above the limitation set forth is asking for trouble)
Again, and I can't day it enough, thank you all very much for taking time out to read my posts and answer questions. Take care.......
