Awesome stuff, thanks for the link.

[Maha]

Great watch, just over 5 secs quicker than his previous record, well done Jay...:niceone:

[White trash]

Lightweight.

[merv]

Yeah great effort Jay. The time and the speedo show how quick he was going but funny how it kind of looks slow with the video on screen perhaps because the camera lens is a bit too much wide angle.

[sidecar bob]

Dude W.T.F!!!!
Someone put a comment on the U tube clip "lets get this guy to the I.O.M"
If we can raise decent sponsor I will happily provide the bike, for the jap classic class at least.

Kind of looks slow?? I think your computer is broken.

[ducatilover]

That's some incredible riding! Can someone learn me how to do that?



Sent from some sort of alcoholic thing and shit.

[merv]

Nah what I'm saying is that the camera doesn't really do that run justice - when the speedo peaks at 295 the camera I am sure shows that differently than what I reckon Jay's eyeballs were seeing it.

I've already said hes welcome to take my zx10r over (the one hes riding in this vid) and give it a thrash

[Paul in NZ]

Feck - once I thought I was a little 'handy' over there on my old shitters..... Once again I was very very wrong.... Thats very impressive.... VERY!

Golly thats FAST....

[Mom]

Mental bugger :clap:

Very cool vid.

[nodrog]

Fucksakes! Did somebody put KFC on the finish line or something? Good shit bro!

[jellywrestler]

newcomers aren't allowed bikes that big

[Kendog]

Stunning!!

[Edbear]

As my thread highlighted, these guys are in a class of their own!

Mere mortals like the rest of us can only dream...

[Logpot]

:not:

10chars.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Way too fast! The speed limit is 100!

[sidecar bob]

Had a yarn with Jay yesterday. Apparently the story goes, "ive been riding quite good lately" No fuckin shit Sherlock.
This directly after handing the Aussies their arse on a bike that he first rode up pit lane at Phillip isl in qualifying.
The technical term for such riding I believe is "Uber Chur"!!

[peril 787b]

It's PIES!!!! Pies make him go faster...

Couldn't have said it any better Bob.

[gripper]

Yea, impresive riding no doubt .

But come on dave, don't aim your camera at a optimistic Speedo and expect us all to believe it.

The speedo is is slightly out as the bike is only geared one tooth lower in the front so the top is maybe 10-15 ks out but its still farking fast

Still fast, oh yes.

But no where near as fast as some of the clueless numpties on this forum may believe after seeing that video.
According to my resources going -1 on the front sprocket of that particular model zx10r will yield %10.8 error (factory error included), so therefore folks 295 becomes 263 (or close to it).
30+ kmh out at those indicated speeds.

Thanks is gracefully accepted.

You also need to take into account that this bike is fitted with a Healtech speedo healer which has been set up to match the sprockets that on on it

One minute you say its out ,next minute you say its setup ?

[Danger Dave]

yeah it's been setup by me (i'm not the most on to it person when it comes to electronics) to suit the sprockets however i still don't know 100% how accruate it is so i would still say it is maybe 10-15kms out to be on the safe side.

Its still faster than I'd care to go up there and I'm still in awe of others abilities in areas outside of my happy space...

[nodrog]

It could be 50% out and old gripper still wouldnt beat jays time, even with his teeth in.

Oooooh a 10.8% error factor...

Since it's not that quick after all, I'd love to see you beat Jay's time.

Your name suits you well.

[Cleve]

fantastic video. Great riding Jay

[JayRacer37]

Given the Speedo is corrected (Dave, I didn't realise - now you have scared me!) I'd have to agree with Dave, it is likely 10-15km/h from accurate with wheelspin at that speed. Not to mention the speedo changing leaning from the middle of the tyre (smaller rolling radius), which our mate has ignored. Isn't it funny how some Gripper's on this forum like to try and create a troll over anything they can...I've never understood it.

To me the top speed means nothing, that just comes down to what you are riding. What excites me about doing it is the speed I can carry into the fast corners (and around them). Turn one in particular gets me big time, it sets up the next two minutes with a great shot of adrenaline to get you to the top!

Adrenaline? Bah! Pussy. Should'a jumped on Al's seat on the rig for a run.........

Definately. Got brave (see stupid) once. Swung on a TZ750 powered chair. Still have the collar bone poking out of my chest.

[sidecar bob]

I understand the record was broken by 8 sec in that run, but that record also belongd to Jay, so how far back is the next best time? or was Jay's 600 record also broken this weekend?

[F5 Dave]

Good effort Jay. must come have a look one of these days, but Cliffy always clashes with something else, in this case a decent trailride & like sex, its better to participate than just be a spectator.

Cross that off your list as a done job,. . . unless of course someone finds you an NSR500V to ride there:blink:

[Danger Dave]

On this run he broke the record by 5 secs, the previous record was also set by Jay and was 2.09 something, The closest person to Jays time this weekend got a 2.14 and i think the closest ever was Drew who got a 2.10.3 or similar.

Text taken from video...'Jay Lawrence, our Bridgestone tyre specialist, rides the 2013 Cliffhanger hill climb,setting a new record of 2.04.596, with an average speed of 176.25km/h, eclipsing his own past record of 2.09.68.'

[White trash]

....on a Ducati 999 road bike it must be said.

Yeah, and my 2:09 on a 600 race bike so probably not far off the 999 in all likelihood.

Mind you Drew did a year on a Super, and only did 2:15 (I think) cos he didn't have someone to race...pussy.

Jeez gripper thanks for that, here was me thinking Jay was peddling that zx10 as fast as it would go - he's obviously a wimp - I am looking forward to being there next year when you show us all how it' should be done....

[gripper]

shit you guys wind up easy lol

In no way was I suggesting Jay was slow (who would??)

I merely suggest that the indicated speeds there were optimistis and holy batman all you guys jump on me like sidesaddle bob and scrivy at a gay schoolboys support group.

Fuck off you were trolling - to late to get all coy about it now - an anonymous KB member for less than a month - I couldn't give a toss what you said - I've just got to much time on my hands and love the sound of my own keyboard (much like you really but I'm not a gripper)

[F5 Dave]

Well you also implied, actually stated, that anyone else other than you reading this forum were a bunch of numpties, so I hope you don't take offence when I say; you're acting like a complete fuckwit, what do you expect people to think you are?

[scrivy]

Never been to one. What's it like?? Obviously it has bad memories for you......:yes:
Didn't anyone wanna suck yours???:sunny:

2.04 secs averaging 176kph ...says it all really. Awesome ride Jay. Can't see anyone improving on that for some time.

Oh, and after a weekend in the sun at Taupo the back of my neck is a nice mahogany colour....

[fatboyzed]

You talk big Gripper. Anyone who does this event has my respect as a rider regardless of the time they do. How bout you bring ya ride on over next year and show us proper.
And just to make it interesting, if you beat my time i will cover your entry fee for the day.
OTHERWISE... SHUT THE FUCK UP WANKSTAIN.

Hey fattie, where did I ever say I didn't respect any of the riders in the hillclimb ? Go on, quote me.
Just out of curiosity, what was your time hero ? And what were you riding ?

Does it matter what my time was or what i was riding?:motu:
My point is maybe you should experience this event before you comment as you have,
but i guess that's what trolls do eh.

ooww...
I can only assume that in light of your posts using the term gay in a derogitory manner and implying that I might posssibly be gay (allbeit with no clue about colour co-ordiation :gob:) that you are homophobic.
I'm slightly dissapointed that you couldn't be arsed doing a bit of homework and reading some of my posts (you don't even have to leave KB) and seem to have plenty of spare time.
If you had you probably would have worked out that:

I'm probably not a redneck, once again I can only assume you are reffering (in a derogitory manner) to various poor uneducated white farmers from the Southern United States
I'm not likely to care that you imply I may be gay - although as a supporter of the gay community I find it offensive that you use the term "gay" in such a derogitory manner ( a bit like John Key on talkback radio :sick: )
A bit further afeild (MyLaps, the Cliffhanger web site) you would be able to find plenty of evidence that I'm a pretty crap motorcycle racer and probably could have got a bit of milage out of exposing that (in a forum about bike racing)
If you did manage to wind me up I am unlikely to resort to threating to give you a kicking (check out the white ribbon link in my sig.)

[gammaguy]

That hill climb looks kinda open and fast like

Ask yer old riders like......jays old man fer instance about Palmer head

Now there's a hillclimb..build for light fast and flickable

Like a certain frame I have with a certain engine in it:yes:

[JayRacer37]

2.10.0 thanks. It matters to me, hehehe.

Or $1000 to chase bro.

True that, but if that was my motivation I would have packed up after the first run at 2:08 and had a beer, not gone 4 sec faster

You guys know the muppets in the upper forums that wank on about the top speeds they get on the akaroa GP and things? I think those were the numpties that gripper was referring to, everyone here knows top speed is nothing more than an interesting factoid, and I think gripper was merely doing the calculation for you, so give him a break.

Jay's time and video are hugely impressive, I'd love to have a crack at that hill climb one day, glad I have a set of pace notes now :)

how close were you at 1:39 and 1:41 Jay? you must have been running out of tar?

Once in a lifetime for this silly old coote lol

I had to do it, just for me and me only, so i could say i scared meself on the hill, but in saying that, i was very happy doing just the few runs on the practice day (sat), nothing to prove to anyone else and wasn't gonna break any records on me old speed 3, (someone with a little talent may have been able to make it look better on the time sheet though lol)

So was quite happy to get plastered on sat night and spend sunday watching the nutters do it all again !

Well done Jay ya mad fucker !

And Dave, sounds like you have that bike set up quite well !

:innocent: I think we need to get Jay to the IOM.
I'll donate some chips and some cash.

[wharfy]

youre assuming I wasnt there arent you ?

Yep, I am assuming you were not there, have never been there and certainly never ridden there and never will. I also assume that you created this KB account less than a month ago solely with the intention of trying to wind people up and being a "gripper" as opposed to most KB users where being a "gripper" is just a side affect of not thinking before they post (myself included).
If my assumptions are incorrect, please correct me on which ones are wrong.

[JayRacer37]

how close were you at 1:39 and 1:41 Jay? you must have been running out of tar?

Probably about 15-20cm between tyre and edge on both those points. Although that was the intention, not a moment. The way the track runs makes it close at those points but the road guides you fine, and if you made a mistake in either point you would just have to go slower to keep that clearance. The fast right about 10/15sec further up (after the bridge and the long left) was much closer - got in too quick and almost ran out of road.
