Surely thats a "serious" test ride

[Waihou Thumper]

I gained a lot of information on dual sport riding from this...
The most important thing was...'Make sure your helmet is done up securely when doing 180 down the Motorway....' :2thumbsup

Brilliant. R1's rock.

I took one of the early ones out for a test ride about a decade ago. Didn't go quite that silly, but, I did find it topped out at 270.

[Subike]

[Roger]

Geeze that was lame

He needs to learn how to ride,

I think the rider need to go back to a GN250

Very skillfull indeed.

Now tell me those in the know... Is 'backing it in' on a roadbike done for the practical reasons like on a dirt bike, ie to line up for a very fast exit out of a tight corner, or is it showmanship?

The reason I ask as I watched a vid of some road bikes going at it & one of the following posters remarked that one rider had to 'back it in' whereas the other following rider didn't need to. I took from that that a more competent rider could have got around without having to resort to 'backing it in'. Did I get it wrong?

Just stowing all these gems away for my launch onto the supersport circuit with a slightly modified KLR650

Hmmmm I suspect he may be related to Carver! :2thumbsup

Most of the braking is done with the front, so the back end lightens. Under heavy brakes, the back starts to snake. Time the sway, and you can back it in nicely. The trick is getting the power on at the right time (without highsiding).

I've got a GP doco somewhere where they talk about Troy Corsey 'backing it in'. There was some theory about the tyre temperatures being cooler than conventional cornering. Something to do with the wheel spinning faster than the bike is traveling. I'll have to dig it out.

You can't beat smooth cornering, but sometimes skids can be smooth. :2thumbsup

[Padmei]

I think it may have been the movie 'Faster' with some young Aussie guy?

more like Warr with Carver on the back:lol:

You don't want to move it to Jokes and Humour.

The mods pull up 4 year old jokes that are repeated whereas this one is repeated around 3 times a year and doesn't get moved.

Still funny everytime :)

Haha, do a google on Jamie Whitham and see who he is.

Sorry, all those Aussies look alike.:buggerd:

[Woodman]

Who needs gravel to get sideways????

[NordieBoy]

Sorry, all those Aussies look alike.:buggerd:

All those guys called "Troy".

Troy Stoner is going well on the Duke though.

If you can get trikes registered then why not? Hopefully he had a relationship with a certifier during build up...

Or you find a damaged Yamaha something of 80s/early 90s vintage with rego on hold, use the plates and take it to a testing station...if you're good at using an engraving tool you'd be fine transferring the frame number. :whistle:
