I think my setting on the go pro either needs to be improved or windows movie maker is cropping them when I don't want them to

some piccies, I still have a bunch to edit, will take me a while to get through them all, I got most of the guys on here
Well done chubb. Thanks for posting. I've been sick as a dog and couldn't even get out to watch. I had intended to flag at least one day. Lack of $$$ prevented me from entering. Turned out for the best. Would have killed me just getting the bike off the trailer.
Now just need you to go out in unlimited so I can see what to expect there. lol
No...I'm not loving that and I'm not loving that! But I'm loving this!

Ok, I know this is a video thread, but I was looking through some pics of the weekend and thought one looked really familiar. So I looked through some photos for the November round last year and found there's an uncanny similarity!

Wow!! It's like deja vu all over again!
That's very cool. The biggest difference is now that Gaz (#37) has Superbike Source fairings, so the orange is actually bright Repsol orange, not the washed out one that he had before.....

Here is what the back of the pack is like!!
Restart of first clubby race on sunday.
hmmk... I shouldn't even be posting this 'cause if I ever go back to racing you'll be starting in front of me so I'm basically (and hypothetically) shooting my own foot here but...
WHAT'S WITH SHORT SHIFTING A 600 OFF THE START?? I actually did a double take on your tacho to make sure it wasn't a blade...
Seriously, you could have at least stayed with the pack if you had gone for it, after 1st gear chances of your bike lifting a wheel more than say 5" off the ground (let alone flipping) are very low... then again, I did the same thing on my first ever race start so if that's the case I understand how overwhelming the first time can be! The way I see it, the start is a drag race. And you don't short shift on a drag race!!!!
Also, please don't follow Stu23's school of using the clutch to upshit! Even he saw the light eventually even if it took buying a quickshifter...
Ps: CAPs + Red font = do not do it again!!!

jeez, settle pettle!
I never said I was any good!
Short shift was a mistak,....and its not like im goin to shift back down, already lost position, no need to lose more!
I am very much a rookie with much to learn, still learning the bike really.... Only had the 600 since August, [insert more excuses here]....
The first 500 metres of a race is something i need to focus on as i lost a heap of positions in almost every start.... off the mark is ok but from there to turn 2 is my failing, but thanks for the advice!
ps. Quick shifter is at the top of the list!
Now that is something I can really help you with!! You should hear some of the excuses I came up with over the years... true classics! To this day, kids still talk about it during their lunch breaks at school.
Also, sorry if the previous post came out a bit rude (well, prob 'cause it was)... I suck at starts and first laps myself but I've learned one thing though: Aggression. Without it, your first lap will ALWAYS suck and I struggle with too. With the race only being 5 laps long, you're lucky to get back 30% of what you lose in the first lap. I haven't raced much (and for a loooooooong time) but I remember aiming for a 1st lap under 1:52 (never got one!) which would be my race pace + 6secs for the stationary start. And you case you're wondering, I pulled that formula out of my ass but it seems to work somewhat.

Anyone know this guy?
Jospeh Vella I think. Hit the ground pretty hard, hope he is ok....?
Here's the video from 1st race on Sunday and my fuck up start
Here it is....
The controversial first lap of Race #1. 600cc Modern that setup the Handicap victory on the weekend.
Don't forget to add the 6 ½ sec's it took me to cross the start line after completely fudging the start. It was potentially my best lap of the weekend as far as the red mist is concerned.
I rode in anger and was doing well, until my quick shifter separated from the shift rod coming into T2......

Ps. that overlay software is fantastic!
Thats the iPhone App i use for my timing. All of the overlay processing is done within the phone.
If you record the video from the phone it automatically syncs it and processes it for you but i imported the footage from my camera's and then told it where the finish line was in each clip.
You can actually use the App to sync with Wifi GoPro's and trigger them to start recording when you cross a GPS point that you've chosen.
Crazy shit.

Short vid just before the battery runs out has Oggy almost collecting me on T11.

Another awful start and many mistakes!
That bit I can teach you. I practiced all day Sunday with Mario flagging on T9
Do you have a Roady as well. I used to do a 5km round ride once a week where I'd practice clutchless upshifts one way and clutch less downshifts back home. It's a good skill to have to "know your gearbox"

But are you having fun James? You'll fix mistakes over time with the right approach. At least you're out there having a go and not procrastinating like me and others. Well not all procrastinating some of it is purely financial. Thanks for posting.
Come on you other slackers with all the cams out there where are the vids. Marshy???
Got to get my fix somehow.

Ok Medic here is another one for you. It was one of my best times of the day on the last lap with a 1:45
There was a yellow flag on T5/6 (4:50)but green on T8 , the guy i passed wasnt too happy with me as he said i passed him on a yellow but it looked green to me (5:02) .
I didnt back off once i passed him even though the next guy was a long way off and not many laps left .. Managed to catch and pass him just before the finish line , makes up for him cutting me up on t1 off the start line.. he he .

well I talked with Senator about getting one of those replay ones..
I borrowed the gopro on Sat and was thinking of getting another but they're bloody exxy for what they are!!!
You get what you pay for.
The LI are great in many ways - picture quality is fantastic, and the sticky mounts are better than GoPro. They are small and light. But the 'covers' were designed by imbeciles - they don't actually attach to the camera!!!! Fuck me; who would've thought that you'd want a protective cover that actually PROTECTS the camera. Engineers need not apply...
And the buttons are waaaay too small and hard to press. You've got to hold in the 'on' button for some length of time to turn it on, then you have to WAIT(!!!!!) some further length of time (undetermined) before you can press the 'record' button. HOW FUCKING DUMB IS THIS SHIT?!?!?!?!?!?!? It's seriously the dumbest fucking thing I have ever encountered in an electronic consumer product outside of an Apple device.
Imagine someone wanting to use a VIDEO CAMERA to, oh I dunno, RECORD VIDEO?!?!?!? And not be able to do it with one press of a button. Or, failing that, even two presses in succession. But to have to WAIT between presses is just FUCKING NUTS. It doesn't even indicate when the waiting period is up - you have to guess. And the penalty for getting it wrong is missing out on recording your only race win of the weekend!!
Plus you can't read the screen to save your life. So it doesn't start recording, or runs out of battery, or the card is full at the critical moment and you can't FUCKING tell.
Whew. Sorry about that. I feel better now.
