Not ever!!

Still plenty to sort out and there's power to be gained.

The gearing is very close now. I lose ground to everyone out of slow corners but gain lots on high speed stuff cos the chassis on any 600 is way better than an SV's. A slipper clutch would help a hell of a lot cos I'd be able to hit the slow corners in the same gear but higher speed without locking up everything. Slipping the clutch manually is a bit hit and miss.

does it make u want an sv even a bronze one?

It's not that difficult mate. You just with what you did after you woke up (you can skip the bit where you grab Nicki's arse though) and just step through what you did and decide if you should write it down. The human brain remembers everything, it's just recalling it that can be a problem. That's why I write these reports, so I don't forget them.

sounds like it was an event full day for ya once again you wrote a novel.... i can never remember that much detail.

A bottle of water in one hand and a bottle of PowerAde in the other. I also have a muesli bar and a banana between sessions. I might have half a Subway if I'm feeling hungry at all but usually end up eating that after I've finished for the day.

I think it's more likely the heat getting to me and I start compensating for degrading performance. Basically I start to brake a bit earlier and get on the throttle a bit later because I know that my reactions etc should be losing their edge.

As for exercising, the fastest way for me to get injured is get off my arse. I have hyper mobile joints. Basically, my joints are so flexible that I can dislocate joints (including shoulders, fingers etc) and not know about it, they pop straight back in. It means that I'm extremely injury prone and exercise is the #1 way of injuring myself. Any sort of repeated impact, eg running, is bad. Rowing machines are about as much as I can do and they're not really long and slow.

Awesome stuff babe - you were looking great out there!

Get into some long slow running, that'll help you stay awesome all day :-D Oh, and veges, eat your raw veges

Good read Shane.
Certainly was a hot day in Wuckatoo everywhere.
What fluid replacement are you using?
Avoiding the fading fuzzies is a tough one in most sports. Also, on hot days a damp/cool bandanna around the neck between races might keep the blood flow to the brain cooler.

Damn SV's

It was good to have a bit of a dice with ya mate, looking forward to next round!!

Josh

boys... dogs... sheesh, what do these mods get up to?

aaaaand.... its about now you realise you ain't gonna win.

Call it bike

.

do you like to ride boys? i think tranny was better at least it leaves them guessing

Makin' it look good since ages ago

Shane, just hook up the 4th cyl again and don't tell anybody. We'll figure out some sort of noise cancellation device.

Nothing wrong with my 10mm's mate, hold out your hand and I'll prove it The rebound problem definitely isn't my imagination. It's one of the most dangerous problems you can have with suspension. Basically the forks compress and don't decompress fast enough, so the front wheel starts to leave the ground. Gets nasty real fast.

I had fun once I started getting pissed off and just tried to ride the arse off the thing. Not a quick way to ride but it feels good.

thats racing all right, maybe you just need to grab your 10mm's and find 3 seconds there

I can think of much better things to do then change tyres all day

bro you forgot to say that i was changing the tyres all by hand aswell. did a count up and did over 20rims that day not counting ours lol

I am sure you will look back one day and remember it much better than it was lol , great read M8.
