Dover... i've sussed where ya were going wrong mate; On teh straights you turn the twistie thing instead of pullin on that lever...

[Zapf]

Ahhh! Damn you and your shnazy camera Zapf, I'm jealous. If the rest of your photos look anything like those two teasers I'll be looking forward to seeing them!

Most of them are like the teasers, some in different settings. But nothing I can do if you wern't leaning enought. ps... its all the operator mate!

they are being processed as I type.

I was in that group and had no problems with the Chook Chasers then I never got passed by them , Had one beside me at one stage , twist of the thottle and :spudwave:
Seriously there were a big group of them at the last Moto TT day and there were no worries.


Dave

aaaahhh, you must have been the RED TL which kept catching and passing me at the sweeper at the start/finish.

To QKCHK: the more trackdays you do the less you get surprised by a close pass. That's why its really important to hold your line. I was passed quite closely by one motard rider in the centre corners, but we both held our separate lines and there was no unpredictibility in where the other was going to be. If you find that too upsetting, then you need to consider moving groups.

i also want to thank sugalite (SP?)
he took me around the track at warp speed 11.
i have never known a bike could lean over sooooooooooooo much while breaking and not fall down, i was convinced that my elbo would rub on the ground at one point... the straight line speed was no eye opener or breaking into the left hander, it was the ability of the man to make it so smooth with me on the back trying hard not to fall off and not to upset his balance and yet he compensated for all my short comings...
i was scared shitless acouple of times and yet i wanted more....
i know i will never get to his standerd but i now know so much more about the POSSIBLE....

Glad you had an exciting time lol.
I'm pleased you mentioned being smooth. You may have noticed I do not "blip" on down changes. The two blipping threads I've mentioned that in KB I've had heaps of people telling me you "must" blip to be smooth!

Sugilite -- you sure can ride can't ya?? Thanks for the pillion session. I swear if I tried I could have scraped my elbows. - Just like AJ said.

The first time you left the pits and entered the sweeper we went so low I thought we were lowsiding, then you went lower at the next corner and the next ... WOW!!! Didn't know it was possible to change up and down gears while fully banked over either.

You will have to fit elbow scrapers to your leathers for the next ride eh
Glad you enjoyed the experience.

[QUOTE=babyB;814222]
there are somethings that cant be put into words easily .... Sugilite i thank you .... being pillion with you was an awsom privilege & experance (lol next time i will protest loudly bout getting off)
/QUOTE]

Hopefully Frosty may include pillion bikes in all group one sessions next time Glad you had fun!

JSG your not even going to thank Sugilite (I assume it was him), for the pillion ride on KB?!?!? Yesterday you wanted to have his babies..........

Thats impossible dude, I got the snip years ago, got it done at the vets, it was cheaper there and the dog biscuits were still better than public hospital food!

I was starting to feel seriously worried.

He told me he hadn't crashed in 7 years.

Hey! That was once in 6 years on road race bikes! Then I go and drop the 10 in the 3rd session pushing an old front tyre to hard!
I only went about 75% on the pillion rides, we were not even scraping the foot pegs!
When I was scrapping it out in the post classic class in the actrix series, I had it's foot peg on the deck, still hard on the brakes twisting the bars to force it to go around that infield hairpin on the long circuit lap after lap

A huge thanks to Frosty and his merry band of helpers for putting an awesome day on

Thanks to Richard for all he is doing. The new Akrapovics sound really awesome and the power increase was very noticeable! I was got at a low 1.39 in the 3rd session so sweet.

It was really good to put faces to names and to meet so many for the 1st time.

[SN4PD]

Fuck this bike looks good........ shame about the fat bastard riding it eh

Dover... i've sussed where ya were going wrong mate; On teh straights you turn the twistie thing instead of pullin on that lever...

but there was a corner just, er, round the corner......

[Morepower]

aaaahhh, you must have been the RED TL which kept catching and passing me at the sweeper at the start/finish.

That would be me , I was surprised how quick the 600's etc were up the back straight , the poor TL is old and tired like me

[boomer]

10 chars....

[The Stranger:Me]

Eh noo!!! I started off from the grid about 8 or so bikes from the first and I certainly don't remember being passed by you.
.

Um, open you eyes when you ride next time. Lap 2, last session, end of the main strait Boomer went past both of us.

Lol, I know, just hassling ya.

The pillion session was awesome. My God it feels fast when you are on the back.

Cheers Sugilite...
