Hi, i decided to create a thread of all my rideouts and trackdays footage of these year to have it in one place hope you will enjoy viewing it as much as i do :cheers
These photos are form fridays rideout. it was only my 3rd ride this year and it was great! and today i am having a trackday :doug hopefully there is going to be some photographers to show you some action :O
had a great trackday today, the weather was good, a bit cold but okay overall. i have to say the new rubber (power 2ct's rear and power pure front) was awesome! gave a lot of confidance, and hold the bike well despite awefull ohlins rear shock settings which were stock (10 compression 15 rebound). But at the end of trackday i decided to play with it and see what happens. so i ended up with stock 10 clicks for compression and 8 clicks for rebound damping (i weight 75kg's + leathers :O). before that the bike was nervous at braking and hard acceleration. also i had to adjust my k6 gixxer600 forks rebound aswell as it was to spongy as i found out at the beginning of the day so it is 1/4 of a turn now.
i hope someone who's about the same weight as i am and uses similar suspension setup will find this info usefull :cheers
thanks here's the video from the end of the day. trackday took 6hours, but most of the riders went home after 4 :O
shame i haven't put my camera on earlier, it would be nice to show you all the overtakes...
personal record is 1:34 at the moment but that time was recorded before i adjusted the rear suspension :O next trackday is on 8th of May. Target is to beat 1:28 mark, because i was told it is impossible to do that on TL :O :devious
yeah the track is quite dangerous because of the barriers being very close and that is sad also the road quality is shite and its very bumpy... but its the only decent sized track in the country :O
couple of weeks ago there was a drag contest i beat gixxer1000, xb12r, some harley's etc.etc. it was awesome to see the look of gixxer boys face when i beat him 3 times :devious
