Why not organise a group ride from the dyno to the race then - make a day of it.

we'll just have to get the bikes on early, and then whoever doesn't want to go to Mt Welly goes on last, so that the peeps who do want to go can get their bikes done and then can head off when they have to.

Gareth, may be put an asterisk next to those who want to go to the race, so that we can see who's fussed and who isn't. Those who aren't can go after those who do.

And I'd organise the ride, but I have no idea where the hell I'm going, so I'm not gonna be held responsible for that, unless you want to ride around the east coast for a couple of hours following me..

they not on for a while then?
who's 'kin bright idea was it to have both on the same day then?
still, my plan could work better, since the dyno starts at 9 which gives us 2 hours there, then we scoot over to watch. where as if we go to Mt Welly first, then the dyno, we'd only get an hour to get everyone thru..

Ok, I can lead to the track after the dyno - it is about 2 kms away from my house.

I'd be keen to go watch as well of course.

Still Like I said each to their own. oh btw Rep to you Rayza good reply.

alright people, have notified them 12 bikes are coming. $20 each

should take around about 15min per bike starting from 10am.

Basically we should all show up at about 9.15. They are gonna check chains and running gear etc.

You blokes intending to go watch the minimoto racing can be up first.

He's refering to a brake dyno, which dynojets aren't.

I was refering to a dynojet system with the load control option.

See Here

The most basic way of doing it is to vary the inertia of the drum. Best way to explain it is - think of riding a motorcycle up a steep hill. The load placed on the engine depends on the steepness of the hill.

Does that mean the 12th bike has to wait 3-4 hours, on a sunny beautiful saturday. Fuck that. I'll roll up at mid-day and go from there, unless Red Baron are gonna let us do test rides in the meantime.
