Ok people.... The TT garage for Sunday will be the usual one: 35-38 (or is it 36-39??). Anyway, the triple just past the first set of stairs going up to rego. We won't reserve it officially (last time there were two allocated garages under different names and it was a balls-up), but please all head for there anyway. I'll be first one there as usual, so look for the silver Superbike Source trailer.

Oh, and I've been chatting with Robert Parker, who was taking pics at the track day the other day. He's doing it again this Sunday, and he's gonna try some spots I have suggested. If you want to talk to him/get some pics etc, then look out for him in the TT garage at around 8am.

He took a few great pics of me testing the new Factory! Check them out:

I think your 140hp R6 motor will make you competitive, even without practice..... ;) :peace:

Coolo's I tried Tim munro (pre-paid) and the photos were pretty low-res a bunch of them out of focus & anything with another rider clearly visible was cut, was soured by the whole experience.

Happy to pay for photos, means more people are out there taking them.

I will be manning the lens on the Saturday @ St George (for free)

Marshy
24-09-2014, 11:54 AM
Rob is gonna pop into the TT garage on Sunday and chat with us. I've organised a members deal (details TBA), and if he can check out the bikes to look for ahead of time, that'll help!

Negrogrande

Does anyone know if you can turn up and get a start if someone doesn't make it to the track, or retires after the first sesh??

Considering this option??

Pretty sure they make you pay out the ass to sign on on the day unless you have organised with someone on the list to take there spot.

Mr.Ed

$40 more on the day IIRC

Is that all? That's not to bad then. I seem to recall someone saying something like they make you pay per session at exorbitant prices.

Mr.Ed
27-09-2014, 02:28 PM
scratch that, it's actually $20-30 more...

But but but, they said at the rider briefing no wheelies? However, you can get discounts at the Alpha hotel across the road, so I guess that evens out.

Anything up to a foot off the ground as you power out of a turn is fine. Anything higher than that and for an extended length will get the attention of the flaggies and a slap on the wrist from course control.

It's totally not obvious from the photo (which was timed absolutely perfectly!) but mine came up very quickly, scared the crap outta me, and I slammed the throttle shut which dumped the wheel straight down with a bang. So it was essentially a bunny-hop wheelie rather than some long deliberate thing. The other photo of me with the front wheel a foot up - exactly the same as everyone else - is a normal power wheelie, not an accidental pants-soiling oh-shit-nearly-went-over-backwards moment!

And I'm fairly convinced that the Italians have no idea what they are doing when it comes to wheelie control. It cuts in when you don't want it to, but does nothing when you really need it.

Nice shots Robert, nice wheelie Nick.

I was getting pinged all the time when Paul Bailey was away. Have things calmed down?

or if your names PGM you're already in trouble ;)

Marshy

I guess it depends on who's flagging, and probably where you do it. I thought PGM always had trouble out of T9, which is harder to explain than T3 over the hill.

Same for me mostly between 9-10, couple of times out of 5 & 12, once even out if 2!
Over the bridge out of 3, I haven't been done. Maybe it's expected :eyebrows:

PGM even got spoken to at a race meeting for doing one past the tower. I did the same later in the day, and not a word. Lucky or unlucky? ;)

LOL I radioed PGM in before for a little power wheelie out of T5 ;) just cos... made sure he wasn't in serious trouble or anything, just got someone to say no wheelies. Apparently he was going off on one all day until he found out it was me and my sly grin that did it :P
