No. I think very few will go that far. You just write it down in the notebook, or something - that's good enough. Going back home, and typeing it in - naw.

Oh, I see. Sorry.

I think it's more determined by what you care about. The back of the book "A Twist of the Wrist 2" by Keith Code has this kind of journal sample at the end.

But, really, it's something of interest to a specific rider. Let me try to remember...

Tire type and pressure front/rear, how many heat cycles the tire went through (if it's a race tire), ambient temperature, track temperature, suspension settings - all that for each session. What particular corner had issues, and how suspension settings made a difference. Different riding techniques you tried, and what difference that made. Along those lines.

I personally am a pretty conservative (i.e. slow) rider, and stay with the same suspension settings (street and track), which are a bit on aggresive side. I make sure the bike is mechanically fine, and usually set tire pressure to something like 31 front/34 rear for the track. May drop it a bit if it's cold/wet, or even bump it up a bit if it's hot.

Other than that, the rider is so much more important than any of those changes. That's where my main efforts are concentrated.
