22nd September Lydden Trackday

Nice pics MaDProFF!

 

no wonder you had trouble mines a black R6 not a Ninja still loving the pictures so well done for finding me hiding on the tarmac ( well above the tarmac which was nice to achieve after a fresh re spray )

Just have to get you out on the track next

 

Not my best videos by some way, i think i tilted the camera up to much so mostly tarmac but no crashes

 

i'm not so sure, i start to gain on the corner ( getting on the power earlier ) close the gap right up then you manage to pull a little back on the first 20 yards or so. Thats where i was expecting to pass you. then it's not till you lift just on the brow of the hill i manage to drive ahead only to find someone blocking my path again Even up the hill from the elbow i didn't have enough pure power to get passed. Those 400's do move and i'm still not using the R6 right i'm getting better on it but can't keep it singing in it's sweet spot as they say . Any track with 30 yards more on the straights thou and yes you would be swallowed right up The big sweepers a pain on the 400 thou as you do need to have forth from about half way around to get the speed coming out, i didn't have to worry there just third gear needed.

 

some better videos, camera supplied by JimG, Rider Leila with supporting roles by 31 other bikers

 

Some more great shots!
Love to know whatTom was looking at, in one of them! And I am glad I couldn't see what was behind me, look like I was about to be mugged!
The guy on 63, hee hee, that helmet is brilliant!

 

Leila's lap times

47's 48's

ok only based on youtube timings and me doing the maths but i did double check. a few times.

now the bad news i think that JimG's camera's may be lying as my mega expensive fully wearable covert recording system was recording my best times in the 50's and my worst times too 51's to 56's ish i haven't checked all but i can't see me hitting mid or low 40's, to be able to get passed Leila.

 

it's true she does look faster, i even saw the video you set up for pervs to watch. In that she is very smooth, appears much quicker than me plus moves around the bike without making it wobble i think thats just a weight thing thou and just not possible for my weight group.

 

nope i'm hope ducky will see sense and just give me his well or i win the lotto

would normally say that a bike like ducky's would be far to good to take around a track but seeing my very clean R6 in your pictures i think i might be becoming a tart.

 

cheers mate, sounds like a pretty good bike bit more than i want to spend, maybe , but it has the same pipes as leila's r6 doesn't say where in the uk it is thou.
