Just got the day off work. See you there. If you're going for 39s, wave at me on the way past, I'm aiming for 40s. But it's easier for you, I'm carrying an extra 400cc's, that's heavier. :madgrin:

That's better.[emoji1303][emoji41]
Nothing just your race Lic and its Cheeper if you have ARDC membership. But bikes need to pre register. There a link in the stickies some ware.

Mr.Ed

Can't join on the day, needs to be done online iirc... No need to be lockwired but it'd be great if you weren't running coolant

Not mandatory to run water... But it sure helps everyone else if you don't have coolant in case you have an oopsie. Like said "it'd be great". I'm no one's nanny but if everyone does their bit everyone wins... Or something like that

No need for ardc membership. just costs 160 not 130. If enough people pre enter you can do it on the day..., but we might as well be the ones who make up the pre entry numbers. I shall be herding stu around the track and then maybe trying to chase a few 38s

You say that like they are in some way similar choices. Odd. It's like saying "do I want a pash from Jen Hawkins or a poke in the eye with a sharp stick"? They are just not the same thing.

In other words... hang on, are we still talking about this? There's no decision needed - see you Friday! :rockon: :cheer:

Marshy
29-04-2016, 08:38 PM
We (the bikes) always congregate in 47-48 and 49-50 (if it's available), so right near pit exit. Although people are welcome to garage anywhere.
The more professional racecars (with transporters etc) mostly get there very early. So garages fill up fairly quickly. There's always the carports too.

Watched this exact thing happen at Easter at MacPark ... then they tried to fit the Tyre warmer ... then they went and got another chain :<

Consider your gearing options ... maybe fit biggest gearing combo before you start

Measure (Think/Consider/Ponder/Check) Lots Cut Once (& rivet)

Was extra funny as the Guy dropped the chain during a race (lucky no damage) BUT had been told was too tight (set at road slack) and worn (Ultra light Non O ring)

Nice day for it and good to catch up with the crowd from tt . Next time I will bring the bike out and ride the track not just visit.

Thanks everyone for a great day! It wasn't the day for PBs but a great day nonetheless... Practice days are great to remind me of all the things that I either need to learn or need to unlearn 'cause I do it wrong!!!

Especial thanks goes to the MASSIVE help I got from the gents next door with the suspension settings! Bike did feel better but I reckon I still need to do something else to it as it's squatting a bit too much now... Will check the videos soon but I had a little moment on T1 that will illustrate the point well if I managed to record it.

Found it. It does not look the best, you've been warned! Camera was sitting on really high mount so it vibrated like you wouldn't believe. Kinda surprised it didn't shut itself off actually...

Now back to point I was trying to make, I don't think having the rear step out like that out of 1 is normal... at least not on a 600. It hadn't done that to me before at least and it's not like I was taking it any faster than I usually do either.

I had a fairly good rear tyre in and I could feel it moving around thru there also. I think the whole track was cactus by the end of the day. Unfortunately it wasn't one of the better ARDC days.

Well that makes me feel better about it... I was getting quite a bit of wheel spin through some corners like old T7 (pre oil) and especially T8. But all very controllable and I knew when it happened I was going a bit stupid on the throttle. But T1 was a bit of a surprise... did not like it.

Pretty sure I came in a bit hot and wide. Pushed hard to tighten up and lost the front. Pretty happy to be in one piece. Spewing about the bike it looked so good just 24hrs ago.

Had a fun day yesterday even though there was a few big oil spills from the cars.. Nice to get the bike on track after so long. It was even funnier with the role reversal going on having Carl follow me on track and making sure I !! was ok. few niggles during the day but got down to a healthy 43 so happy with that. Just cant move much this morning im soo sore !! Thanks to everyone for a fun garage

Here it is, entry speed is about 10kms faster than my usual, I cant pick anything initially, happy for any comments.

FYI apart from being a bit stiff and a large bruise on my hip this morning I'm all good. Suit will need to make a visit to Irena but i reckon its repairable, gloves are gone, bike shouldn't end up being to bad.
pretty lucky all in all i just slid into the kitty litter rolled twice at the end once the speed had been washed off.

just the crash

It looked like you went in way too hot! Or is that just because I'm rubbish at T1?

You're too wide, by a fair bit. What speed were you doing when it let go?

Ruckos87
07-05-2016, 08:15 PM
Defiantly wide and a bit hot. Looks like 220 when I lost it.

I know I was pushing hard to tighten up. Prob gripping the shit out of the bars ...
Should I have used a bit of rear to tighten up/ drop some speed???

I think that was cause I'd passed someone on the inside and not gotten back onto my usual entry line. Just watched some of my other vids use all entry speed is 195-205 so it's 15-20 kms faster and narrower tip in....

Hmmm Another lesson learnt the hard way I guess

I it put me narrower passing than if it wasn't there. Not sure I'll get away with blaming this on the cars instead of myself just yet though.

I don't think it was too hot, if your line wasn't as shallow. Personally I stay wide and turn in from the outside of the track, at a similar speed. That allows a quicker flick to then offer both tyres for grip, rather than just the front, as it appeared you were.
That looked like you turned in from the middle of the track, early apex and asked the front to take everything. It was then amplified by the death grip!!!

Super glad you're ok tho mate. T1 dun't take many prisoners!!

On a 600, yeah. But that's a thou.

Here's the vid of me chasing Wolfie yesterday. We're doing 38s & 37s.... but look at where I'm backing off on the straight for T1. Admittedly my T1 is pretty shit, but Luke didn't lift until a fraction before the slip road! That's nearly Glenn Allerton stuff. Look how much he gained on the bikes in front.

Wooo! That's awesome mate, good old turn 9, great place to pass.

I back off around the same area you do for 1. I try to convince myself I do it a little later until I view the footage, but I think the camera is recording wrong there somehow... I was puckering watching Lukes vid.

You found your pace again eh? I guess the multi coloured track at turn 6 got less slippery!

Top vid, thanks for that.

I'm saying the bike would probably have made it with a better line. Not that's where you should be lifting off!

I going to chuck my last 10-12 T1s into the same clip and give it a good look at. I'm thinking that inconsistency could have contributed, I defiantly need more constancy, across the whole track not just T1

Just watched that Luke, you went basically another 100 after you normally back off, no wonder you were tense on the bars!!! As Nick said earlier, you were basically were the guys pulling 35s and under back off. How the hell Allerton et al; do that lap after lap after lap without being a nervous wreck all the time I have no idea...

Steve? How do you do it? You seem so calm and like a normal person to talk to? I dips me hat m'lud...

I try and go the same speed as normal and keep tighter lines until you have spare track then fill half the spare track in with speed keeping the other half as a back stop.

What a day, it was great to ride with some truly fast riders and trying to keep up. Times just kept getting quicker.
First time on the BMW but found the front forks only using half travel and felt so hard in the track. Thanks for the tip zoidberg about possibly to much oil in the forks, stripped them down this morning and found 15mm air gap in the left fork and specs call for 85mm.
The previous owner had just had the fork seals done at BMW.... How could they get that so wrong?

Hahaha! Senility eh? By my reckoning, you must forget to be terrified every lap? Lucky man. That's some great advice about filling spare track with speed. Good description mate!

The only reason I thought it might have been that was I had seals replaced a while back in a shop with the same results as yours. Shame we couldn't pull them down on the day.
