Nice vid.

You are pretty much able to hang with Bobby. The only time you lose to him is when you guys come off of the back straight.

I'm in it for like 5 seconds. I heard MetalS coming up behind me, glanced over my shoulder and didn't want to hold him up because I knew he was trying to follow Bobby. So I didn't try to get on the gas or anything.

It must be really nice having an advanced rider spend the day with you to help you out. I wish I had someone to help me like that at every trackday.

But it's cool. I'll figure it out on my own.

Finally got to see the video Scorpio. My computer has been fuckin up on me :x

Nice Job. You have the same trouble in the right hander that I do. We'll get it down though :wink:

Saw Turbo for about .78 seconds too :lol:

Looks like your buddy hit that bump in the middle of that turn and the front tucked. I hit that bump a few times and I knew it would be bad if I didn't stay to the inside more. I bet if he stayed 1 or 2 feet to the left he would have had no troubles.

hahahahhahaha .78 seconds. lol

Actually his tires were shot. Bobby had already done 4 tires on that front Michelin Power Race. He was really pressing his luck by running it.

Damn right we're going to get that right hand turn done. next time by i'll work on setting my rear suspension for entering back straight and dobble apex; you could see the rear moving on my on the video. My pilots worked great too, I just have to try to keep the rear from moving.

Pilot Powers or Pilot Race? I was having the same wiggle with my bike. I was on Pilot Powers.

You think you need more preload? I'm on the 6th setting from full soft, or 2 clicks harder from factory. I weigh about 180-185 with full gear.

Pilot Power, I'm about the same weight as you. I'm in 2 clicks from close but who knows what that realy is when my shock is been hurt by my evil side doing endos at any red light.

2 clucks from close? What do you mean? Is that 2 clicks from full hard or full soft?

MetalScorpio

07-20-2005, 09:17 PM
I'm still scratching my head :lol:

Let's take this from the beginning :lol: The factory setting is the fourth notch from full soft. It has a yellow paint mark on it. I'm 2 notches harder from the paint mark.

Where is yours set to?



I'm slow :wink:

I'll have to go out to my bike and see how different that is from my setting.

MetalScorpio
07-20-2005, 09:35 PM

By-Tor
07-20-2005, 11:00 PM
Looks like I have 3 notches left until full hard.
