Wasn't me with the pillion, unless you're referring to my front "beer-pillion"

I was the one filming. I was on the black KTM motard

I like the little twirl that the bike did at about 1:37 - 1:39. I'm sure you've eased the pain SeppoDave. Mission accomplished!

Thanks MotoTT, Had another great day learning just how much I have to learn.

Definately improved overall from last month, but still had a couple of "WTF did I do that for moments", the best being my cross country "State Highway realignment" between turns 12 and 14.

Not sure what happened in the end. I know I was guilty of checking the speedo and missed my normal "do shit to make it round the corner mark" and I think this caused a little panic resulting in some hamfisted use of the Throttle, Gears and Brakes. Eventually normal programming was restored and the bike was slowed enough to go cross country relatively smoothly and upright.

Not sure when I'll get down there again (not for lack of wanting to) and will be waiting un-patiently for the day.

Ah, yes... I had your words ringing in my head for the rest of the sesision. What was it, something about people often saying the last thing they saw before the crashed was the speedo........... Now I kow why

ops:

FWIW, its neither big nor clever, but..... I saw A number on the damm thing I'd not seen before

Was a good day. Not too cold either (well, as cold as I thought it might be!). Didn't really reach my goals for the day but had no incidents and made it home in one piece.

Anyone got any pics of me? Red/black leathers, black KTM 690 supermoto (the thing with the big kenworth exhausts heh).

Ian Laurie, freelance photographer, will have a heap of photos available late today. http://hardout.webs.com/motott.htm
We tried Laurie because our normal photographer, Alick, wasn't able to make it this time. He seemed good, was moving around heaps... saw him in some interesting spots. Looking forward to seeing what he got.

Photos are to be ordered directly thru him.

he has a couple of samples up already, just taken around the pits....

Was another great day, luckely the weather held out just till the end!

Was an ok day for me started out very weary after my bin at the last trackday, so for the 1st 2 sessions wasnt really riding that well. By the last session though was getting back into my grove though which was good

.

My bike was really struggling on the back str8 though! Neva made it passed 160 when normally im getting 180 most of the time?? Seems strange,me thinks time for a lil lookie see over the ol TZR

**discotex** · 26th April 2009, 14:07

Arse.. Shit came up at work on Thursday and I couldn't make it. Sounds like another cracker

I think the wind had a bit to do with it. Last time i was hitting 185 on the motard, this time (after lowering the gearing even!) I dont think I quite got to 180. (ie, if I hadn't lowered the gearing I may have only hit 170).
