Anyways hope your taking the gixxer out there Quasi its so much fun even on the wee 400's. Cyas.

Another scary sight!!!

First is Weasel (Velox) on a R6... then its bloody You on a R6!!!

hey hey hey im not leaving 400's! they are the way of the future! *cough* yeah hmm, right. But just wanted a small turn on the R6 which i must say is real nice to ride, loved it completely, but the more obvious reason i was out there for was to ride the FZR400, which after the first session the clutch cover came off and greg had to put a washer under each spring because the clutch was slipping, then also carbs came off and more minor jetting had to be played with. Still messing with front suspension and other such minors but it feels all good and a day out there riding without crashing is a good day for me so im happy.

It is starting to look not good again for me

We will see... i might use it to scrub in some tyres...

**adamww** · 6th September 2005, 21:23

I'm keen to have a go on the track, but I have only been riding for a year and a bit and have never done anything like this.
So I would probaly want advice etc, but I don't want to get in anyones way, is it appropiate for someone at my level??

ignore whats behind you (take off your mirrors, its for the best

) hold your line and dont deviate, the hardest thing for me is when im coming around the outside of you, and you stand your bike up...

Well that is just where your problem is. Dont go on the outside cause one cant see you there but when you come through on the inside you can. Cause the person hears you before you even get to the corner and he/she actualy expects you on the inside not outside.

**bugjuice** · 6th September 2005, 22:33

just hold your line, and 'run your race' so to speak, even tho it's 'not a race'.. pfft..
anyway, it's the responsibility of the over-taker to ensure a safe pass, not you as the over-takeeeeeeee. Just hold your line. The worst thing you can do is become unpredictable, and as soon as you start worrying about what's behind, instead of infront, that's what will happen

Though you were supposed to take on the outside, not the inside on track days:spudwhat: Not that it matters as I expect to be taken any which way (as long as the passes rider does it with care)

**Quasievil** · 7th September 2005, 07:31

It doesnt matter on a track weather its left or right as long as its done safely, definately take off your mirrors as a newbie, this way your focused on your riding and not on whats coming up behind you. Also try not to get rattled when a bike does pass you at a high speed, keep focused.

At the end of the day, its a lot safer out there than on the road so remember that and have some fun
