Report of sorts.
In a valley far far away surrounded by snow covered mountains 5 men and machines prepared to battle (yes snow not that far away).
Anyway. We ran in reverse direction for a change. I crashed on the practice it was far more slippery than first anticipated and I had me fancy new shock completely setup wrong.
After a quick word to fish shock was sorted and I was ready for action. 1st race all went well apart from being left for dead buy Andrew and Fishy. (Story of the day). We were given a transponder to us and was interesting to see the laptimes Fish in the wet 49 something. Now having a transponder was a double edged sword for me as I really wanted to get good times. Well lets just say I was a bit keen at the start of the race and forgot it was raining. I decided to go through a corner one gear higher and on the gas. It was never going to happen, spazed out garbed a handful of front and preceded to entertain dean who was right behind me. The pain has almost turned in stiffness. I am sure you know what I mean.(still hurts to laugh).
The rest of the day was still fun. Andrew and Fish battling it out for the lead all day, can't remember who won what but Andrew got one over Mr Fish.
Well thats all I can be assed writing so I hope there are more of us next time.
Should have some slicks sorted buy then yee ha.
Cheers Rich.
yeh that shock was beyond fixing. I ended up getting an Adjustable YSS shock from Australia. Used the FXR spring to save a little money. They did a race package for the CBR series over there front springs, valves and a rear shock $500. The build quality is really good. I just could not find anything to replace the busted fxr one.
I recon a good set of slicks will run rings around the dunlops tt900s I have got. I used to think the opposite but not anymore. I have used both and think the slick are better.
Thought I to would put in a quick report. I had a good day without a crash! The thought still seams strange. There was lots of slipping and sliding going on though. When we thought the weather was going to clear it started to rain. Thats what you often get on the shortest day of the year. I think the last 4 meetings have been wet this one the 5th. I wonder what it will be like to ride on a dry track?
Thanks to those that came along.
A good set of slicks beats tt900 hands down anytime wet or dry
the only time I may say otherwise and my sholder will agree is when the is a meter of waten on the track.Then the tread in the tt900 may be a bit of help
not nocking the tt900 they are the best you can get for 18" rims (ok ok apart from brigstone bt39ss??? )
ps I belive you cant buy tt900 anymore New
