i asked chaosrider god damn it. Unless you ride a gt250p and are hotter shit than a manure storage facility on fire i ask you keep such matters to yourself.

I infact built the gt650pppp, so screw you and your moral conundrums

I also have a thing for red heads, but, how was the track day? Tell us about it etc etc

well first session was crowded but good for sighting laps had a chance to read everyones lines and work out what worked for me

2nd ses was awsome it poored down just as we were about to leave the dummy grid, the shinkos were awsome coming over mountain corner got nice and sideways hanging over the bike. i was realy impressed with the tyres most of all despite their bad rep has ne one ever taken them to the track? their great
found a realy fast line through jennian, awsome looks from the r6 rider and ktm rider i flew past on the outside.
wasnt increadably fast round the track but i did go faster then a cbr 400 down the back straight (it was an old modle though 1990+) and lapped the two ninja 250

would have been better had the rain not ended the day will be at the next one for sure

Hey Chaos.

Nice to read your write up.

I must admit it is the first time I have read anything complimentary about Shinko's, and to be sure, I have never used Shinko's on the track, and perhaps you bring up a point........ Has anyone else Raced in Shinko's...in the wet?

I would wager NO would be the answer.

Sure, from what people say on the road (particularly in the wet) Shinko's are possibly Korean for "suicide", but that doesn't mean that in a race pace situation, in the wet, they don't "come into their own".

I will have to take your word on that, because for sure, I won't be testing it out for myself!

Interesting to read about your passing moves etc, I am sure they will never forget the day a Hyosung "slid" past them in the wet!

God knows I would never forget!

Thanks for your race report Chaosrider, I am sorry I critisised you earlier, with such a great (truthful) race report, I certainly don't think you are a troll now........

Was it like this? (just with some rain)

[Hiflyer]

lol lol lol

[Reido]

dont get over excited about passing an R6 etc, even i did that though a couple corners.

And i know im not a great rider, hell i dont even think im good.

they were being careful with their shiny EXPENSIVE toys since they were in the NOVICE SLOW group. >_>

And holy crap, did you see how far ahead, on the first lap, the CBR250? (purplish one) was in the second session? (granted that might have been G2, cant really remember)

Track day time to own a noob? I think so.

[rachprice]

How were your lap times?

And yeah I had a hayabusa holding me up in the corners on my first track day! and I was far from good! Not really a way to gauge how good you are

[Mully]

How did you see the looks they gave you while you were going around the outside of them around Jennian?

Yep! The Shinko 003 radials are exactly the same tyre that used to be the Yokohama 003 radial...and in the day they were good enough to do minute 16 flat round Manfeild on a 250 proddy bike! I've since raced on shinko slicks...and yes...it even rained for one heat race...and they're actually fucking pretty good! I'm willing to bet that they're more than good enough for most track day riders.

[Crasherfromwayback]

hayabusa

= very sucky motor!!!

not quite but it might have been i wasnt getting off and checking lol

yeah i stuck with it for 4 or so laps in the second sesion and then woosh he was gone. and yes i undersand this but the were from the slow fast group and werent being carefull. but yes they wernt caining it i was just saying it was fun seeing their reactions

not sure prob only 1.30 wasnt realy checking

i wasnt going that hard so i had some time to turn my head and nod for them, had i been going for it then no it wouldnt be that easy lol

yeah well the blew me away. i know how real bad they are wet in the city but coming over mountian corner in 4 taped whith the rear lighting up and going sideways they were nice and stable and even in jennian and through to castrol they were just awsome.

corner i had the most trouble with was castrol the hairpin was my best. mhad i had 2 more ses i could have easly nocked 10 sec off my laps. but well see next art day wont we

[imdying]

In the meantime, ChaosRider how many valves does my RGV have?

Do you know the answer to this?

At least ask him a question with an answer if you're going to be a cock about it.
