Simon Crafar on electronic assistance

[CHOPPA]

Check out his body position... Obviously hasn't done CSS.

Na he is old school! From the bits that I have heard from about his book is that he does things a bit different. Im gonna have a good read when I get a chance, it obviously works.

Likewise. Complete opposite in some cases (which doesn't make sense). Guess I'll have to check it out properly to form an informed opinion...

How long will it be before we have to do a session in a simulator before we can get a licence?

Having the electronics is only an aid and shouldn't be relied on exclusively.

Unlike the traditional record/video model that made media moguls extremely rich, useless fat c***s Motovudu is made and distributed by the people who should get the Lion's share, the people who actually did all the work - Simon Crafar and Banter Media.

It's $70.00 for the book + DVD. Not a bad price and hardly likely to break the bank. I'm sure that downloading a sample is ok if you buy the real deal later on.

for sure, i like to try before i buy and have a copy on order

It's different alright. The first thing he does is a Myth Busters bit that many will find controversial but the further into the video you get the more it makes sense. He explains things from a riders point of view. He even explains backing in and the current fad of waving a leg around on entry in a straight forward and clear fashion.

It's good cos he explains things as riders do, body english and hand waving.

He's an intelligent guy who has spent years analyzing things and figuring out how to go fast without getting hurt and now he's put it all into a book and video.

Probably not far away. Honda already has a SMARTrainer simulator for motorcyclists in the market and is developing it further.

I have the book and the video. Not sure you need both, as they each contain the same information.

The DVD would give you all the information you need and a better understanding of who Crafar is because of the extra little biographical "movie".

Yup it's essentially an ad for the new GSXR thou, and some may say it's making excuses for the lack of electronic intervention on the new bike. But I think the message behind it is a good one.

All due respect to the man he a great rider but bit daft to say u dont need abs traction control on bike with that much power and so

light theres nothing wrong with having a saftey net, okay with racing they might find it anoying but this is a streetbike after all

"at Imola, I asked "What do you do to the others in order to beat them...apart from outride them?"

Mikes Reply "Look at all of them on the front grid before the start. You can see it in their eyes. If they think they can beat you, smile, give a nod and a wink. It works every time. Then you go out and show them what you meant."



It aint the electronics...or even the bike!...its always that nut between the handlebar & seat you have to beat!

I ride my 160rwhp 170kg dry bike with no traction control and abs. Don't ever have a need for either on the street.
