Do you think this is a racing forum or some thing

[Maido]

sh*t, this was supposed to go in the "totally irelevant" forum.

I see the yoshi teams cant test cos their bikes are stuck in customs. they will be pleased.

speaking of yoshi suzuki, shaun have you ever met peter doyle? (team manager for Mladin and spies) he sounds like a pretty straight up sort of fellow. go to mcnews.com.au and read his update on the american agenda, it is pretty funny.

[Shaun]

Yea mate, Peter Doyle is a really good guy! He will take no shit from No one


Now get back to fixing those farmer things, and have you made my bed yet for Teretonga?

Only a couple of the teams use Motec over there Brian, Motec is big with the UK teams though

I did some test riding for a Suzuki team in spain 2 years ago to help set up there Motec gear, we had a guy with us from the UK to do all the input stuff, dam amazing what you can do with that stuff!

The graphs could show where I was off line by 10mm or a split second slower or faster on or off the throttle, but the best bit was the traction control, you could litterally ride a GSXR 1000 Putting out 192HP Genuine at the rear wheel like is was a 250 in the WET

Man, thats amazing.

Would love to have a go on one of those suckers!

Amazing to think, in another 10 years, what street bikes are going to be capable of.

Honda aussie run full motoc also if i am not mistaken, dash assys and all.
My tesh advisor runs full motec on a few sprint boats he tunes (very successfully) there are sensors galore. he also says they are great to deal with.
They probably have stomach acidicy sensors to tell you to lean out your diet. very nice gear, also a very nice price tag.

Hell NO and HEll No, way to rich for our tight arse budgets

[Maido]

I agree, i have an HRC data logger on my 600 for off season testing (no I don't use it at nationals shaun!!) mainly for fueling because we have no dyno here to tell me if my lambda changes are good or bad. (no way is it powerful enough to run traction control etc). The HRC one is pretty cheap for the quality of it and the functions it performs, but you know that if they were allowed at nationals there would definately be some big money spent (at least people wouldn't care about tyre budgets though).

[Brian d marge]

The HRC one is pretty cheap ).

they can be ,,cant they ,,,,

Why data loggers , I can understand traction control , but single channel data loggers are cheap as ..

surely they cant be that tight ...even Im not that tight ,,,( said the nice lady to the bishop)
