VMCC round 4 - long track

[rachprice]

I guess with the wee streetstock bikes sometimes we take different lines cos there is just no power to get out of a corner
maybe I should get there super early and go for a walk over there.

Flat out with your eyes closed.

Thank me later.

Pretty much the best way just chuck it in have faith in the tyres and suspension and if that dont work hopefully you leathers and helmet will save you

[Crasherfromwayback]

Always worked for me!

I have never wanted to test the limits on that corner but I think it is more physcological than anything. On a street stock, I'm guessing you would want to make that corner as short as possible and take the inside line of the bump.

The next corner is much more important for lap times though I reckon.

[scracha]

Better than that bro - I ripped a slider off on that strip myself.

You mean I'm supposed to get my knee down?


Hope this helps ya Rachael. I just gingerly tip it onto it's side just before the bumpety bit...it's the fast bit of the corner that scares me. By the time I'm at the corner exit you could probably forge steel between my arsecheeks

Oh you are sweet thanks for the effort hahaha
That is pretty much the line that I take...maybe its not my line but more my balls or lack of that is the issue (theoretical balls!)
My bike isn't fast enough that Im shitting myself at the fast bit

In my first 2 rounds this is where I crashed....

hehe, I called last year 'My quest for Balls' simply cause that's really what it's all about!

Put it this way; we are on pretty much the slowest bikes out there so it aint gonna hurt so much now while we learn! Anyway we HAVE to ride throttle open everywhere but the hairpins so may as well grow some balls now!

You'll be fine, get there early and walk the back part of the track. You won't regret it!!

On the very inside is definitely the place to be. But as everyone says just try and relax and trust your'll be alright, you get used to it. It is a pain tho. But then again, i wouldn't listen to me, i've crashed on every corner apart from T2 at manfield.

If you think its bad on a SS150 try it on a 125GP bike.

Would someone please like to enlighten me how to take the start of the left hander after the hair pin on the long track, picture to clarify

I'm always super slow on it and I just cant manage to get a fast line, dam that bumpy patch!!!

on a 150 its a no brainer...you won't be going fast enough for it to matter...just turn left

your right....

a 150 os probably worse pretty much like a SV going over they pogo stick atleast the 125 has decent suspension

Yes, but the faster you go the less time you have to comprehend what just happened. By then it's all over!

Im not talking about the rear im talking about the front I had the CKT front end job in myne felt good then I raced the ZX6 the same day and realised half the bumps I felt on the SV I didnt even feel on the 600
