That must have been when i was practising starts out of pit lane. I couldnt get the starts right cause as soon as the bike thought it was going to wheel stand or lose traction it would cut out! Would have looked like a goon haha

The TC control is an optional extra you should just turn it off lol as that is how you will have to race it anyway

yeah, i couldn't get starts right cause of the TC as well... not really, its cause i is sh1t


I wonder now that road bikes have the TC and ABS how long it will be until launch control is standard as well.

It would be faster with it turned off, its good in damp conditions and in the wet, problem is that depending what mode you have it on determines the amount of traction control and what lean angle its used on but the problem is it reduces the hp. You need to be able to adjust the tc setting but keep the full HP. We cant do that so it will be disabled

Nice work Choppa, you looked pretty slick when you blatted past me in practice !!
Your dad was grinning his head off when I spoke to him !!!!

Well done Choppa. Good to meet you and have a chat. As i said, the bike looked SOOOOOOOoo stable out there. Got the chance to watch a few laps thru a high power camera lense and it confirmed how stable it is particually under acceleration out of the turn.
Im with the vote for allowing TC and quickshifters to all superbikes ........... its an obvious choice. If they put up any resistance to letting the S1000rr race then they should be stoned and exciiled (it would be a true crime).
Awesome stuff .......... cant wait to see it again

Good work that Team

[coffeejunkie]

I must say when i heard the rumor it was gunna be a BMW dragging ya ass round the track i thought ok lets see what it's got.....Colour leaves abit to be desired but then thats neither here nor there....!st on the startline & i thought yeh ok so he worked for that spot...Then watching the first race my mouth was open the whole time like i was catching fly or something.....A bike isn't much without a rider with some skill But i must say not only were you smooth & graceful but you pretty much crapped all over the other racers (sorry guys), Well done indeed......I'm thinking your the new "watch this space"

Note that when the bike gets an injection of more horsepower it will likely introduce some instability problems so we will be again working hard on new settings. Its usually easy to make a bike with a stock power curve stable

Hey Chop, good to see you with a ride, especially something exotic! must be quite a buzz!
As far as rule changes go, get onto it asap to ensure you have plenty of time to get things done go here, to see the how the process it carried out.
Here is the current proposed rules to be brought in for the 2011 superbike season, going by this (rule 13) "In special cases an invitation may be issued to a motorcycle to compete in this class upon request, there will be no entry fee for this special invitation, points and prize money will not apply."
I am sure if you get hold of the road race comission, which is made up of up to date logical thinkers (Pete Ramage, Brian Bernard etc) they will be able to sort you out and somehow work the rules for you to compete.

Looking forward to see how you progress with this, good luck!

Those rules look good to me, when would they come into effect?

no idea! I would say in time for the NZSBK rounds in January? Looking over those rules they are a combination of both the current superbike/superstock rule book. Maybe they are looking at doing away with the class inside a class thing? Which is a bit shit, cosI was seriously thinking about running a stock 1000 in that class. I worked it out that it would cost approx the same to run a 600SP bike by my calculations. And watching Tony doing well also gave me inspiration to switch over, but I will have to see now.

I think it would be a real good class if they combined the classes like that, we need more people in the one class and with rules like that it would make the racing a lot closer. It means the factory teams would have to make there bikes slower then they are by removing the cams etc
