Tyler Lincoln, wildcard at Jerez EJC final

[RDjase]

Hi all

Tyler and I fly out Saturday to Spain for the biggest race in his 3 year career! It will be great to catch up with Jake, Sam, Connor and Blayes

It has been a mad rush organising it with a short time frame, Have got the flights home so we get back late Wednesday, Thursday we pick up Pete Lodges ES2 Norton and head to the Barry Sheene. Dave Smith has kindly offered his ZXR400 to Tyler as well so it will a busy few weeks.
I hope to get enough time and internet to keep updates happening

No begging; just doing it.... Hell yea (pay day next week) so I'm in.

I'm going to be a party pooper and say, give ya $100 tomorrow, and another $100 if you get in the points.

Need to catch up before you fly out, so I can work out time off for you coming home, if required. Phone Henk when you up here, and I can come out to the airport, as I am guessing you will run out of time :)

Jase, you can hook up to our Internet when you're back here, so no problems with updates. :)

Exciting, and wishing you a great time :)

Hi all

Wow ! Lots of points incentive happening, thanks so much :2thumbsup

Tyler and the other wildcards had there FIM briefing today, got the NZ flag and numbers on the bike. The bike he is racing is one that has only done one or two rounds. Havent looked at any setup yet apart from some minor adjustments that need to be done on gear lever position. Cant adjust anything till tomorrow. Need to see how much sag etc it has got. At the start of the season there was no going near the bikes on Thursday, bit more relaxed now by the look of it, may have something to do with some very beaten up bikes needed repairs. Cant fit any new parts till Friday though

EJC free practice is Friday 4:30 local time .

Will post updates tomorrow

Cheers
Jase

Almost think your waiting mate

Just got back to the Hotel, had a pretty average day, need to get the rear preload right, Have got the shock out its getting sorted in the morning. Its got to be done by there suspension guy that's busier than 4 Robert Taylers at nationals :yes:
Lots of learning to be done on a very fasy sweeping circuit, He could hang on to the packs till the rear started squatting and pushing wide in corners and then loses out in top speed with having no draught. In the last few laps we got as much preload as possible and Paul one of the the kiwi EJC mechanics helped me time Ty to re enter the track with a group and went two seconds quicker, should have done it earlier in the session. Its got a remote preload adjuster and you have to take the spring off to turn the preload adjuster nuts

Spent a hour getting a car park at the hotel, I payed for the week parking in there underground dungeon carpark and they have booked my park to someone else, went round the block many times and are parked about 400mtrs away from the Hotel, scary narrow cobblestone streets, and insurance does not cover side mirror or windscreens, lots of mirrors get destroyed here

[Nicksta]

best of luck to Tyler!!!!

Its all these little unforeseen obstacles that make racing away from home a little more challenging! Its great to hear the little insights, it paints a better picture or your experience rather than just your typical report.

Good luck!

+1.Almost like being there.
Good luck mate.

We are finally back home, got back to nz late Wensday, stayed at Henk and Michelles for a couple of days (thanks heaps), picked up Pete Lodges ES2 Norton and headed to the Barry Sheene. EJC was hard work, not much setup time and jumping in at the end of the season. Suspension and draughting is very important in EJC, everyone is fast, as can be seen by the quilifing times. Tyler will do a race report for the EJC and Sheene over the next week or so. Bit of catching up to do with school first
Cheers Jase
