[Marshy]

That's a fricken AWESOME photo!!!

[Turbo]

Here's a nice one from the other week. I was looking at the photo's from ol' T9 and I don't think one them had me in the same place on any lap. All over the shop.

Yieww!! Great pic, Marcus. Charging up the ripple strip!

[Ruckos87]

Cracking Shot!!!
T8 (old 9) is my nemesis, trying tomorrow to get some sort of line through it.

I probably suck at it but I have found that doing the South Circuit really helped me with it as you carry a lot more speed into it than you normally would and then when you do GP again it's like "oh this feels slow"

[Ruckos87]

Don't you turn left before T8 on the south circuit ???
I was Assuming the pic was T5 and Krackeye was mentioning the line through old 9 (T8 for us newbies)

Oh... you mean old T9. Sorry, I'm an old newbie! hahaha Seriously, ppl need to give up trying to rename corners! It was 8 before it's 8 now... it was 9 before it's 9 now. Now... 6. Well, that one just isn't. hahaha

[Kris]

Had a shit load of fun at Laguna Seca on a friends BMW S1000RR. Visor kept fogging all fucking day due to me having a cold. Best lap was a 1.39 something - I was happy with that given it was my first time there on a cold day with damp patches

Corkscrew is hellafun!

Yiewww!! Nice one mate. What an experience!! :thumb:
Corkscrew looks in a mess tho!?

[Krackeye]

Great experience. Nice having friends around the world. I take it there's some onboard footage?

[Kris]

Yep ive got onboard footage. The momentum is ruined though because of the noise restrictions which means youve gotta back off at the sound hut or they black flag you and boot you out of the place. Corkscrew is a bit messy, they have had alot of rain. The circuit was damp/drying for most of the day

[Marshy]

If I'd spent the time and effort getting it to handle, it'd have been a weapon, I'm sure. Out of the box they are no good, but there's a formula to getting them to be good. I just didn't spend the time, and instead ran back to what I knew.

The ironic thing is that the '15 Aprilia is much more like the Beemer than the old Aprilia. And as mentioned elsewhere, I really really like the old Aprilia. It's just dumb stubbornness and loss-aversion that's making me stick with the '15.

[Marshy]

Bloody NIMBYs!! That's fucked.

Buy a house next to a racetrack and then complain about the noise!

[Kris]

Exactly, and the houses are mega us mansions. Lots of money!!!! You seem them in the hills - they are like massssssiiivveee

[Marshy]

Personally I'd find listening to race engines screaming all day incredibly soothing. But I guess not everyone feels the same.

As an aside, I love love love watching motorsport, but I often really struggle to stay awake! Honestly if you had to design a tv show for putting people to sleep, having a constant zoom-zoom of engines revving up and down in a predictable pattern whilst watching brightly coloured objects going round and round in circles, normally shown late at night, I don't know what you could better than F1. Love it, but it's better than a sleeping pill.

[Mr.Ed]

I love love love watching motorsport, but I often really struggle to stay awake!

I hate to admit it but... you're right! MotoGP still keeps me awake most of the time but even though the racing is usually better on Moto3/2 when I watch them I find myself on the verge of narcolepsy. Even WSBK will send me to bed early if I'm not careful. I wish I could blame that on my age but I've had that ever since I can remember. Which is probably not long considering my Alzheimer's.

[chicken16]

I'm glad it's not just me. I thought I was getting old but now I feel much better.

[Carl-52]

Its not you guys... i get it too. Wake up when the commentators start shouting about something and rewind it on foxtel to see.

[Ruckos87]

I got to bed and watch in the morning. Just can't open the phone till I've watched it.

What shock have you got in it? Riding PI I suppose any wet riding experience is a plus, no??

Just revalved and reworked the standard shock. As good as an Ohlins one without the bling.

L0 GSXR600 - so unfortunately the traction control and more than likely the problem was my right hand and skill.

Temps were really starting to come up and the track was getting a little slippery, probably could have done with a bit more tire pressure. The back end was starting to move a little in the previous sessions and it was a stock bike so couldn't do much more to the suspension.

In the end it's my fault, I was warned that it's a little off camber there, to watch the throttle and with the higher track temps probably lead to it.

I missed this!! Amazing, matey! What happened out of interest??

[stevem]

It was in the superbike support race for the first Australian GP at the creek and I was sold a front tyre by a shop owner that was meant to be helping me that wasn't what I was told it was. After the crash I took it to Gary the then Michelin guy that told me they hadn't sold that tyre for 4 years.Extremely disappointing but live and learn I guess. Not long after that I bought a bike to race in the Superstreet Championship and the first round was rained out and the promoter went broke in the second round and that was pretty much it for me.

Fast forward 26 years and here we are.
