Is it ok to stand her up?

[javawocky]

THINK LESS RIDE MORE-- Javawokky heres what I saw. Youre treating jennian (t1) the esses and castrol as 3 seperate events and so castrol is a corner unto itself for you.
...

Jennian is an awesume bend - scared the life out of me in the morning with the bump but as I got faster through it and looser it turned into a fun roller coaster. Next time I will try scrub off more speed and hug the inside for a better line into the esses. Nearly went farming over the second apex of the esses when I entered the first one too wide once or twice.

(Not sure who the guy on the white bike was in the fast group pulling some impressively low lap times, but watching him go into jennians was a thing of beauty.)

this thread is funny shit :-D

Never new my dorky riding would entertain anyone

Keep in mind dude he's not a racer

Yep, your average track day hero out to save the world.

Lanky young guy on an R6? Jaden Hassan if so. 125 racer. Fast little bastard will be a handful this weekend considering that was his first time on the bike!

Jennian is mega fun corner. One of the reasons to go back to Pukekohe in my mind

That will explain the extream corner speed he had over the hill and into Jennian. According to my reconning he was doing 1 03's or there abouts. Not to shabby for his first time out.

Avalon was on an R1 (I think) running about 1 07's, but she was instructing and in a group.

Yeah apparently he was just giving it arseholes from the first lap. Good to start young, eh!

Nah she was on my mate's ex-Bernard '07 R6. According to him, she wasn't really pushing it, but no doubt she'll get to grips with, at which time I think I'll retire from 600's, haha

As to the subject of your thread, I've raced Puke about 6 or 7 times now and still piss myself off with my lame attempts at Castrol! Follow the fast guys through there and see when they get on the gas!

[FROSTY:Me]

I was talking to that "young guy" -He said the 600 was great to ride and shit load easier than the 125. I think it was him and the guy on the KTM just flying past me. I was thinking I wag going fastish and -whoopsie theyre flying past

[gatch]

Puke is great fun ! Over the hill, blind, under max throttle, into turn one still with the throttle pinned, its almost like a moto x through there..

Shit yes!! lol

Nah don't fret Javawocky...its not you or your question....just Kb at its best is all :-)...keep riding and keep asking questions, just be careful who you listen to is all

[hayd3n]

watch the twist of the wrist two dvd ,
listening to a dozen different ideas is just gonna make you confused

[Cr1MiNaL]

I'm surprised none of the other posters in this thread picked up that he said pull on the 'inside' bar? I would much rather 'push on the outside bar' as this gives u way more room to move ur arms so ur not all cramped u trying to lean off and use ur twisted writst not to mention if your in a right hander which Puke is trying to control the throttle as well. But dont listen to me I dont really knw what Im talkin abt!

Well I certainly didn't expect a group hug from KB, but the opinions are what I am after. Had a spirited ride through the twisties on the coast to coast on the last stretch - nothing over the top, but powering out of corners trail braking into the corners etc. one of the guy in the group said he doesn't like to brake, he just keeps it flowing through the twisties. My jaw almost drop to the floor and I had no reply - Braking is half the fun of it!! Each to their own.

Slacker - I read both books twice! And I'm still confused. Wouldn't mind watching the DVD now, but probably not as good as the book :P

It was love at first lap for me - well actually session 2 after getting some tips from the instructors. For me, its coming over the hill at about 80-90% throttle, when I feel she's upright enough, planting the last 10% and coming over the rise give it everything till I chicken out for Jennien's and grab a hand full before for the 'MX' section. Still not sure I could go in without braking, maybe I'll work up to that goal

The bonus session was lots of fun- CBR chick gave me lip in the previous session by blasting paste on my warm up laps, then again taking me back when I got stuck behind a slower rider over the hill. I'll have none of that! So made it stick. Anyway, so in the last session she did the same on the warm up lap, so I though, what the hay, and had a little fun, sticked to her pace and let her past then found different places to take her back again. We both had a blast.

I suppose this may be a matter of preference, for me its like pulling the trigger. It also tends to move weight forward which is probably waht you want coming out of the corner.

Jaden's a pussy, you can beat him.
Seriously, he is talented.

Thats Biggles department.

Biggles switching to Honda?

Horses for courses:
Big capacity bikes create lots of HP, getting her stood up gives the tyre a better chance of coping with the forces involved.
Squaring the corner off (Pedrosa style), weighting the outside peg on or soon after the apex and standing her up then gassing is one way.
Using higher corner speed (Foggarty/Spies style) and getting on the gas progressively a little later is the other.
I see it as a personel preferance and either works better on some corners to others.

Loading the outside peg is a turning in trick I thought.

Shit yes!! lol

Funnier that you two seem to think ya know better. Where'd you finish in the nats Marcus, and in a field of how many that attended all six rounds? And when was the last time you raced, let alone finished worth note Ryan?

I drag on the inside bar to swap direction quickly, helps pick me up off the seat to move to the other side. I realised how much force goes on it when the bars needed to be moved back out half way through the Hill climb event, from me dragging them toward the tank.

Not sure if I pull the bar to stand it up out of corners though, I'm usually trying to figure out a fine line between getting on the gas, without running off the outside of the track, might just be a slow corner thing.
