About a month or so ago, I found an abandoned subdivision that was apparently foreclosed a few years back. They've only gotten as far as paving, and some of the lots have been marked as sold, but there hasn't been any real developments since then. The subdivision is tucked away at the end of a street, and as a result gets no traffic.
It's a nice ~0.8 mile loop with 7 turns. The 3 buddies I ride with and I have taken to using it as an impromptu track. The way that we've been doing it is to have the person being timed filming with my GoPro, and calculate lap times through the video. We usually do 1 warmup lap with 3-4 timed hot laps. No passing of course. I've uploaded a few videos in case anyone's interested:

(And yes, those are brake markers that we put up.)
My friends and are all around the same skill level. 3 of us have been riding since April and one has been riding for a couple of years. I have the FZ6R. The 3 other bikes are an Kawasaki Ninja 650R, a Kawasaki ER-6N, and a Triumph Street Triple. None of us are particularly good, but we're all getting better. I've recently started experimenting with hanging off the bike more as I was starting to drag the pegs on some corners.
Of course, the FZ6R currently holds the lap record!
