St George vids - SMP Nov 2014

Sounds like there's money to be made in hiring ZX10's out...
What sort of deposit would one's daughter require?

[Leezx10r]

Owen, you pimping my bike?
Am sure we could work something out!

[Carl-52]

Blinksy thanks for the video!! cooked my passing opportunity with Jake (turn 2 just before you caught me up ) cost me so much. Looks like im turning in early pretty much everywhere, more track time needed.

I promise I'll only try to make money from it when you're not looking... How about that?

Nah, I'd be hard pushed to let anyone one my bike even if they were 'good for it'!

A bit more footage from Saturday Bears Eastern creek.

[Marshy]

Oh I see the problem right there..... TOO MUCH BLOODY HORSEPOWER!!!!

I love hearing the scream of the RSV4 over the Beemer when I'm in front (2nd half of the vid). It's interesting that although the Ape is down on hp, it really gets it down to the ground nicely on corner exit.

Thanks for the vid!

[EDIT] re-uploading tried to fix the sound in movie maker just dropped the res

Sorry about the sound Go Pro shit itself for this race for some reason...

[Turbo]

I finally got the footage back from the crash...
Thanks to Johnny-B for the chopper footage and Spilly/Marshy for the bike pics.
Here it is:

[chubb]

that looked painful..


tyre still looks good though!

[Leezx10r]

Bugger!

Riders briefing on Saturday morning "if you stall, think small!"
I thought oh shit!
Glad you ok, and the other riders are too.
Catch up soon mate

Thanks mate, good advice!
Glad the rear wasn't any smaller tho... Seems to have taken the brunt of the impact!

[BoB]

Ouch .... nice footage.

hahaha that's the spirit!

Tbh, I thought the bike would look worse... not saying it looks good though

[Turbo]

Tbh, I thought the bike would look worse...

Yeah, same!
I lucked out with bike damage, considering.
Seems like the back wheel copped most of it... Crumple zone

I'm sure you've already thought about it. I'd definitely be getting the frame and alignment checked. Big hit!

Bet the swingarm bearing and pivot shaft are ROOTED

Yes! Good plan chaps... I'll certainly be getting any of that rectified before too long.

[Marshy]

FINALLY got around to encoding the only two races I did on the Saturday. Both are requests.... one for Sir Wetness, and the other for Mr Bagger, or as I like to call him, Steve McDoohan.

Firstly, the BEARS race 1, featuring our own stevem nearly highsiding the mighty Beemer on the exit of T1. Nice save, brother.

[chubb]

sorry have to asked what happened at the start??

[Marshy]

Stuck in gear. It wouldn't change up. I had to clutch it, and still nothing. Got it into 2nd and that was it. Wouldn't go up any more.

[Marshy]

Ok, this one is for Wetty. Unlimited race 1, where he abruptly changes line into T2 and bashes into me.....

Lever protectors earned their keep that day!!

Thanks for that Nick, I remember thinking I can have these clowns next lap and then just got too greedy on the throttle. It was pretty violent 200 k tankslapper , it actually pushed the pads back off the disc's and just when I thought ok I didn't loose to much there I turned up at turn 2 with no front brakes. Straight off the track and rejoined in 10th.
Any sort of a wheelie cost you big time down the straight or I guess anywhere for that matter. Thanks again Nick.

Did something fall off the bike at T4b, 1:35 rear view ... a camera? No looks like a lever???

[Marshy]

That would be said lever guard. It was flapping loosely around for a bit, before parting ways with the bike.

Fark, so they come off when hit! Did you get it back at the end of the race? BTW nice shortcut through T4b ... ;-)

It just loosened in the bar (it was a very solid hit!) enough that it could flap around, and then quickly came out. I deliberately fix them in very tight, but not rock-solid-never-gonna-move-in-an-impact fixed in position, as I'd rather it loosened in an impact than rip off a bodypart!

It worked perfectly - stopped the brake lever being either applied or ripped off (either of which would've potentially been disastrous), but still gave way-ish in the impact. Wetty's leg probably wouldn't agree with me though..... it was quite bruised and sore, I gather.

I popped a new one on before the next race
