You can easily tell the noobs by seeing which ones arnt counter steering, chaos being one of them.

its ford mountain you nit thers no need plus you only counter steer before you start turning to change the angle of the bike, its only an aid for getting the bike over you dont doo it through the corner unless your arse is out.

one of the better pics

but the best ones where i was going alot faster were in the wet

What.......you mean this?

[RDjase]

well first session was crowded but good for sighting laps had a chance to read everyones lines and work out what worked for me

2nd ses was awsome it poored down just as we were about to leave the dummy grid, the shinkos were awsome coming over mountain corner got nice and sideways hanging over the bike. i was realy impressed with the tyres most of all despite their bad rep has ne one ever taken them to the track? their great
found a realy fast line through jennian, awsome looks from the r6 rider and ktm rider i flew past on the outside.
wasnt increadably fast round the track but i did go faster then a cbr 400 down the back straight (it was an old modle though 1990+) and lapped the two ninja 250

would have been better had the rain not ended the day will be at the next one for sure

Thats good you got to the track chaos. get some real tyres and do a track day at Taupo , heaps of corners , will suit your bike better. Enter clubmans or 250ss at Rd1 Paccific club meeting , Nov 1st , track 2 (new taupo) Google it for track maps,
www.pacclub.co.nz for entry forms and details

thanks frosty pity you couldnt come, i was listning to the mentors and did what they said, but i dont know if it was me over thinking or undercofident or what but it felt wrong. whent out second ses bit nervous cuz of the rain and my tyres bieng plastic and all.... and did my own thing, lstend to my bike and what it was telling me (how it felt and what lines it wanted) and i did way better. thanks for the tips on jenian btw

Sorry Chaos, I am just trying to ensure I have not miss-understood your comments above, so are you saing that you disregarded all the advice of the mentors and went better and faster round the track?

if you no so much about riding and what to do, why do you look like your taking a sunday cruise in your picture?

Just because a more experienced rider makes a suggestion about how they handle the track doesn't necessarily mean it'll fit exactly that way with you (most of them say that too), due to the difference in rider skills, bike handling and the placement of other riders on the track. What a more experienced rider can do, doesn't necessarily mean that a newbie can do it. What i think Chaos is trying to say, simply, is that after trying out the marshals suggestions, he found that if he rode with the skills he had and dealt with the handling of his bike and the placement of others on the track, he felt alot more comfortable, natural and ultimatly went round the track faster. After all, like Chaos said, it may of been a simple result of him 'over thinking things' too much as he tried to implement the marshals advice.

U calling chaos a noob?

HOWDAREU

[kunoichi]

I'm simply saying he has a different set of skills than any other rider. As unique set of skills as u and i have, or any other biker.

Chaos isnt the best racer on the face of the planet and since hes making comments like "geting your knee down is over rated" hes not making himself too popular.........how would he know what getting your knee down is like if he hasnt done it ??? persnally its i think its the funnist part!

and chaos your wrong puke has about 3 deccent places to put your knee down on.....

[Harvd]

well you are right he sure is special!

[kunoichi]

I'm not saying he's not making unjustified claims, as far as i know, he simply voices his opinion as a matter of fact until proven wrong. So he stated 'getting your knee down is over rated' as a matter of fact when actually it's simply an opinion. It doesn't come off very well, and i'm not surprised by the reactions on either party.

Of course he found it felt wrong trying what the mentors were telling him. If your used to doing it wrong then it is easier to keep doing it wrong. A good biker that is willing to learn will praactise what the mentors teach until it feels natural.

All the mentors do is teach the basics, and in any sport, getting the basics right all the time is what counts. Once you have the basics down, then you can put your unique touch on it. Ask any professional sportsman and ill guarentee they will agree.

PS..(ill probably get bad rep for this)
kunoichi...as you ride a new ninja 250 (just like the gt250, a daily commute with bling) and havent been on Kb for very long, im assuming your also a learner rider, which makes your comments bear as much weight as chaos's which we all know what thats worth. actually sorry your probably not that bad.
