AMCC Advanced Rider Training October 7th report

[Keystone19]

275 is flying. Is your bike geared down? Or are those things just that fast?

Didn't see you out on the track at all. Save me from doing the maths on the video? What sorta times were you getting?

I counted a 1.09 on the vid. I dunno about gearing, but I saw 280 on Gah's bike which is the same spec as far as I know...

way to go Leong, you kicked my ass fair and square, rematch on sat, yeha

I wasn't mentioning names....

I'm hoping for a DRY track Saturday!!!!

Leong - you got off soooo lightly with that crash, mate! The exhaust was barely even scratched, it was more the twenty buck exhaust strap that took most ot it!

You know that the exhaust strap can be turned round so the scratched part and the broken rubber can't be seen eh??

Bike's standard cept for the air filter, slip on exhaust and PCIII. Yes, Jill got 280 out of Gah's GSXR-600 K6 running the full Arrows exhaust, but standard filter and no PCIII yet.

I went in the medium group - being a novice at Puke. I was doing mainly 1.09s about 11 seconds faster than the last time I was at Puke!! Pity bout the oil on track later eh!!

Almost correct except I've fitted a K&N air filter.

Damn, those things are fast!

1.09 is pretty good Leong. I reckon subtract at least 1.5, maybe 2s for the rubbish on the track.

The hairpin spill especially hampered the times, 'cos unless you were really confident of your braking accuracy you couldn't haul it up too hard. Aim for the low line and outbrake yourself: you're in the cement dust and on your arse. Aim for the high line and outbrake yourself: you're on the grass and on your arse.

You're probably missing a horsie or two now.

Just a random thought, this one.

My son was riding; his first time ever on a track. He was a bit freaked by the speed on occasion, so I am wondering about advising him to tape over the speedo, as we used to do for proddy racing in prehistory.

Me: I have no speedo on my racebikes, so it was fun to see what the VTR's speedo showed. Compared with what I would expect, I think it is over-reading by 25kph when we were tapped right out down the back straight.

he wasn't the only one frieked by the speed actually there was one guy -ming who came in after the first session of slow novice totally white saying he was almost about to call it a day because the slow-novice pace was so fast compared to how he thought it would be... he was even stressing that all the girls were fast. i enjoyed that...thought it was a laugh... he was a nice guy a bit scared to scratch the bike it think (nice nu r6 it were)..
