Just recieved my new s/h suzuki on friday so i thought id take it for a blast!! Chucked some dunlops on it, turned the race pattern gear shift back to mx gear shift and i was ready to go!

Qualifying:

Track was typical of Taupo, a little slippery but as long as you missed the patches not too bad!

1st 1.32

Race 1;

Got away in 2nd, managed to pass for the lead on lap 2 and held it to the line. I was using a soft compound tyre on the back that was really slippery on the cold track but the bike was really easy to ride and it seemed easier to fix mistakes then on my previous bike.

Track Record and PB of 1.30

Race 2;

Again got away in second, got on the gas a bit early and nearly highsided out of turn 1! Managed to pass for the lead at the end of lap 1 and cruise to the finish.

Real happy with the bike, much better package then what ive had so fingers crossed with a bit of setup i can make some more improvements to my lap times on all the circuits. PMCC seemed to run a good event but might have had a few to many classes... It was great to back at a cruzy club day and talking shit to all the other kiwibikers!

Yeah i did.... Who was it that crashed twice?? I know boydy did :innocent:

[Quasievil]

When mere mortals like us get a new bikes we take our time to learn the bike get into the groove of the bike and find our way slowly, you on the other hand go out and whip one of NZs top riders by three freckin seconds !! TWICE !!

Unbelievable mate truly !

Catch ya tomorrow

[Shaun P]

Cool man sounding good.

[kiwifruit]

Great performance :first:

[quallman1234]

Congrats bro! Just realised you beat Hayden. Good shit man! That bike has broken the lap record twice now =).

So did you get some gearing in the end? Did she have some more legs or what?!

Yeah managed to score another sprocket off andrew for the back, prob could have gone a bit lower again but the power took enough getting used to without gearing it down even more haha Def a buzz to ride though, puke tomorrow...

Forgot to peel the LG poster off my bedroom wall for you to sign :spanking:

Sorry sloan. I'm not a good groupie am I?


Oh...and after a wee incident a few weeks ago I bet there was some icing on the cake when you bet another Honda rider.

[discotex]

Nice work :sunny:

[sinfull]

Awesome to watch mate that bike was fair twitching coming out of T1

[Clivoris]

Great news Choppa. That performance says heaps about you at the GSXR man. Will be a very interesting Winter Series.

Track Record and PB of 1.30



Really???? go figure...your PB was the track record?!?! hahaha

Mate, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw 1:30 on the sheet....surely a mistake...then you beat the track record again with a 1:31!?!?!

You will be unstopable this winter series mate...good effort. Any tips for us slow riders???? :-) :2thumbsup

[t3mp0r4ry nzr]

Great to watch you from the far sweeper man! you probabley held the most turn entry speed (of the whole field) and carried it to through the mid turn, and getting a bit of slip from the rear on exit to get good drive. was poetry in motion and was great to watch!

What happened in the first race. Fitzgerald would have had a 1s lead in the first few laps, then next lap, you would have had a 1s lead?

carry more speed into the turn. you were overbraking for the far sweeper and a little late on the throttle. easier said than done tho aye! you gotta trust those tyres and disengage the brain a bit! hope that helps :)

[Toast]

1.30! Holy crap! That's awesome Sloan! Finally on something mainstream quick, good to see :niceone:

[svr]

1.30! Holy crap!

After seein that we all had to stop bitching about the track...:whistle:

[johan]

Brilliant performance, congrats mate! :niceone:

[Tony.OK]

Yeah man well done...............can only say it was good to see ya from behind for half a lap.

Too fast........too good.................NZ's upcoming No 1:soon:

[KS34]

Well done, great read, great to hear!

[slowpoke]

See now this is the problem with being a racer instead of a spectator, I didn't see you on the bike all bloody day except for the start grid. And those fuggin' laptimes....jaysus, it's kinda depressing, LOL. Nah, stellar effort mate, and thanks for talking me through a few lines.

[Frenchy]

well done mate can't wait to see what you can do on this new machine!

[wharfy]

What can I say mate - Life's Good :) :niceone:

Hey guys dont assume too much. I take nothing at all away from Sloans win as he has great natural ability and a really really good attitude. All power to him for constant improvement and I will be helping him over the winter. Now he is not constrained by the least competitive 08 brand / model. ( Sorry thats a proven fact )
When the bike was resold from Stroud to Sloan we reset the suspension internals and spring rates taking into account Sloans different weight profile. There will clearly be more work to do beyond this and the setup is different for every track. For example it would likely be too firm for Pukekohe and as Sloan gets more used to the bike that in turn will require more work.
Hayden turned up on a bike valved and sprung for Pukekohe and the setup required is quite different for Taupo, both in terms of springing and valving.
Given all of the above I am not surprised with the above results.

Oh really!! Cheers Robert, it was handling so well and i honestly couldnt think of how to improve on it. I didnt realise it had actually been set up for me :Oops:. I did chuck a few clicks of rebound at it and it was a bit firm for puke ;) I also might try dropping the forks a tad...

Hayden was just playing around, its not like it was the nationals....

[driftn]

CHOPPA FOR PRIME MINISTER:yes:
