SMC L-Plate riders' practice thread

[motorbyclist]

Second Squiggles. You're dreaming Motorb if you reckon you could do the half loop in 4 hrs main highways or not. My best time with a lunch break and petrol stops is around 5hrs-5.5hrs - not that I am the fastest or anything. Anyway, these guys have sussed out a new route so not relevant anymore.

sorry i though he meant just to thames and back

yeah a half coro is def 6 hours minimum for the group

Could be keen to get out this Saturday...too much working need to ride....

No, you're not allowed to do anything fun on saturdays as i cant make it.

Any other day suits me, just NOT saturday.

I'm free this Sat after 1pm (got final exam on morning arggggggg)

Or perhaps we do 0-100 movie at airbase? Is EJ coming to RRRS?

Only if we can take video in there, probly not...

[motorbyclist]

probably can - i mean, what are they gunna do? throw paper darts at us?

but there's plenty of straight open roads without any traffic

I rode my bike pretty hard round the loop when I was trying to reach and save Bomma's ninja (RIP now).....I used my rear brake so much that half way down it was not working anymore probably reached boiling rate and would not stop the bike... So I hope all you guys have proper brakes for the ride especially you EJ...

***Ahem*** doesn't use his gears, sits in 4-6th gear around corners**** ahem****

[BANZAI]

How much of time do you think we have at the airbase?

The cource will go on from 8am-5pm right??? Sounds very intense...

I really want to do it at flat airbase runway if I can do 0-100

Otherwise free Saturday afternoon (only if GN is done by then)
Also there is helicoptor base visit thing at 5pm isnt it??

Anyone going to that??

[ehab2weelr]

yea i have my last exam on sat mornin so il be keen for a thrash round = )

[ehab2weelr]

we should take down names for all those coming to coro so we know who and how many riders are coming.....

[ital916]

the weather will be rooted on sat but have fun if you go, ride safe.

Haha I am pretty sure I was using 3rd or 4th gear around that hilly twisty...damn that was fun....came to the straights and I was doing speeds which I shall not say and then out of no where an R1 I think flew pass me probably 200km+++++and that was also when I saw the tow truck ...hahah great stretch of road....

Should be intense, the runways are not flat, they are rough as (or at least, were last time i saw them), and i doubt you'd be allowed to do such a thing there... it is an airbase, it will be operational while we are there...

[xwhatsit]

Ah, jealous. Coro loop is lots of fun on a 250 -- lots of variation, from fast sweepers where you're full throttle and crouched over the bars, to tight twisty stuff where you're scraping pegs at 30kph (no really! The 15kph recommended speed for a few corners is no joke!).

I'll be over in Aus by then, and my dear RS will probably still be in Holeshot getting the tank fixed.

Have fun!
