Good advice or not?

The AMA guy is right on the money. Impressive considering he hasnt seen the profile of the track. Is his name Mat or Miguel by any chance?

No his name is Kevin... not sure what his surname is... he doesn't race anymore and rides a Ducati

[speed63]

Or Nicky...?

might be Eddie...nah. Bring him out anyway, might be able to help with the lap times

Only if he can complete a lap without his bike dying.

I meant Nicky Hayden...lol.

When you out on the track again anyways?

Paul it sounds technical in writing but remembering it when riding is different when you do it lap after lap after lap you know it and you dont haveit turn 1 when you ride you add say 2-3 corners together because if you stuff one corner up you can be stuffed for another 3,


I know at Manfield me and JayRacer's mechanic Hamish talked about it and if you stuff turn 1 up your stuffed to the hair pin.


Its kind of the same at Taupo stuff turn 1 up and your stuffed to turn 4 but if you get it right you can carry some impressive speed up throught there the 125 is awsome full throttle the whole way to turn 4 knee dragging every corner


Heres my lap:

Coming down front straight brake. Release brakes, drop bike onto side
Look through corner get to the apex and start accelerating keep throttle pinned slide arse back into seat as you pin it up to the slight uphill turn 2 put knee out here still with throttle wide then quickly, Push my weight to the left and drag knee whilst still pinning throttle, quickly again pull wieghtto right to go through turn 4 drag knee here push back into seat run out onto the rumble strip, full tuck hard on brakes changing down to go into turn 5 which is quite tight down to first hang off bike, right hand knee slider on ground and then lift it up slight and lean bike over firther pin the accelrator down to the hairpin but on the way from turn 5 to the Hairpin you actually are turning right still then brake release brakes as this corner is banked you will actually be thrown right, go up high (wide) drop into corner accelerate hard out arse back into seat, 3rd 4th 5th flat tack now exiting the hairpin you go round a flat out sweeper (but I cant comment on the long circuit as I have ridden it once) So here I turn off left still throttle wide aim at the tires andbike going straight get to the tires brake hard whilst keeping bike straight move body left as not to clip tires,
Knee out release brakes drop bike onto side hard acclerator as your now coming onto the striaght pinnning it down straight which isnt long at all considering im writing up the short circuit.

Release throttle change down 3 gears (im on a 125 tho), dive into the first little left hander brake quick release brakes flip it righthard onto knee sldier whilst bike is going right shift all wieght left bike drops to left dragging left knee sldier, hard accelerator onto front straight past pit lane and paststart line and theres my one lap.
