That's a bit weird. I was just wondering the other day if there was anyone drifting a bike and what would be involved.

That is fucken mean! I dear say you'd want shares in a fiberglass factory for practice. Also the common flavour of crashing when riding like that is going to be the worst type.

Cool stuff.

[p.dath]

I like the comment from the biker, "Yeah, I'm going to die".

[Motu]

Fuck,using a video camera one handed while sideways! Who has the skills - no contest.

[Matt Bleck]

very cool!!

You reckon the ext swingarm would make it easier or harder?

[bogan]

very cool, I would have thought a supermotard was better set up for drifting though. From the vid I would guess the drifting felt a lot bigger than it looked.

[Gubb]

The hand drag was impressive.

Very Cool .

Longer swingarm means it wouldn't step out real fast, it's easier to control. But the longer swingarm also means it doesn't get as much weight transfered to the back wheel so it'd light up quicker but undoes some of the advantages of having the longer swingarm.

Damn cool though. Wondered if anyone had set up a bike for drifting about a year ago. Now I know :niceone:

[Grumph]

When Ronnie Moore was riding in the English speedway leagues, he'd go along to the midweek car speedway meetings which were on concrete tracks. A handful of sand tossed down at the right points and an old road tyre fitted to the speedway bike and you had a really spectacular show which got the punters along to the real thing.

If Ronnie was in his prime now I reckon we'd have a Motard world champ...If it paid better than Speedway.

[Marmoot]

Skill! But too bad about the gay extended swingarm....
(great video though, nonetheless. Added to my Fave)

These guys did it without that, and from a purist point of view I think this is more enjoyable to watch.

only in the USA could you have a batmobile RX7 (which is easily upgradeable to 500+hp) fitted with a corvette engine, just for drifting. I'm not a huge fan of rotas, but check THIS rotang out - quad rotor 26B turbo - 800hp:

The V8 would probably have a better spread of torque, meaning gear selection not as critical as the rotor - along the lines of VTwin vs IL4 in regards to litrebikes. Not taking this thread off course too much, but intersting that Mike's gone to a conventional 20b for his RX8 (PP Turbo though).

[firefighter]

Is it possible to take a 'pic' from the vid? I want to take the frame from 2:43 and 3:23 and turn it into a poster it looks epic.

Can it be done?

The corvette V8 transplant in America is very popular, there are ready made kits to fit it to a wide variety of cars. You'll still drift fine in a 400hp 13b RX7. I'd say it's more to do with personal choice rather than any mechanical advantage. And have you ridden an IL4 1000cc bike? No lack of torque spread there.

Well, there are a number of ways to do it - you could just take find the point in the video you want and take a screenshot (hit the "Prt Scr" button and then open an image editing application or MS Paint and press ctrl-c, then save the image), or you can download the video off youtube (there are various firefox extensions that enable this sort of thing), and then most video applications will have the ability to save a screengrab.

Nice tidy example there Tony. I just prefer the 32 over the 33.

Yup, seems to be doing rather well.

What a wicked video. cool when he puts his fingertips on the ground while hanbging his ass end out. I'd say he goes through gloves pretty quick

[ajturbo]

that is sooo cool... to have that sort of ability to control that pig of a bike...:devil2:

[Flip]

OK I just don't get drifting.

I must be getting old because it just seems silly.:weird:

Can anybody explain it to me?

example = http://i52.tinypic.com/hx3xhx.jpg

run video in full screen, pause at your favourite bit. Now hit "ctrl" and "Prt Sc" together. this copys the screen. now go to your image editing programme and paste the copied image into it. Or just paste the image into word (or similar) and print from there.

The image is going to be rubbish print quality though as it needs to be really low resolution to stream over t'internet

Naa, seen a few RX7's with V8s here, they go good.
A guy from my ol' car club had one with a P76 V8 could paste most cars on the road even if it was left in 5th gear!

[bombsquad]

Dirfting a bike for the most part is like drifting a car, the more throttle the more angle. Just add in a handfull of balance and away you go.
The real impossible trick is doing it without using the front brake

Not sure if this has been posted before. If so, I apologise. :spanking:
