Just got back from a good days track riding at Oulton with No Limits, well run day and best of all, it stayed dry :thumbsup: I will load the video up later on this evening? See you lads who are going to Oulton next Tuesday
how you going to do that nobhead, ive got the camera :angel: was a cracking day weatherwise, wouldve been out there meself but for work.... looking forward to tuesday bud :thumbup: you're definately wasted in the novice group tho chap.
just had a look at the sd card.... you recorded a 7sec clip of your head, then a 11 sec clip of your glove, then 18mins & 26mins from the last 2 sessions. uploading it to vimeo atm, will add links heresoon as it's live :thumbup: @nel, you do know it's only £65 on tuesday?
Session three from today at Oulton Park, I get held up by a few in the corners, skip the vid for the first five minutes as they are just sighting laps. http://vimeo.com/16798724 Cheers
I do love Oulton park, nice vid. You using the clutch lever to change up? it sounds like you very slightly slip the clutch and you change up, just a little to early on the lever. I may be wrong as i am very old and my hearing is shot. Good vid though, like the way you did the R1 into Old Hall.
Whooooooooaahh ! Easy on that throttle..almost had a very embarrasing moment leaving pitlane !! good work fella :thumbsup:
Yeah it was a bit of a moment, I adjusted the play I had on my throttle so that there was none, forgot and nearly ditched the bike :banghead: I do tend to do that with my clutch on the up change, can I shift up without it. By letting off the revs and shifting up, you could on my KTM but I have never tried it on the ZX. There are a few shitty bits on there but I have only been riding for seven months so I cant be that hard on myself, looking forward to Tuesday as I will be able to pick up a lot of advice off the guys who are going. :thumbup:
you can shift up without the clutch wot if you want bud. not a good idea into 2nd like, but higher gears will be ok. on mine i just dab the clutch to change unless i'm bimbling round town. you can downshift without the clutch with a bit of practice. should be there about 7 meself :thumbup: hope it's dry cos im on supercorsas - dont want to ride the kwak yet til i know its bob on. zx has got storm ultras which would be ideal if its a bit wet.
Your going well mate-get an instructor to show you the right apex/lines and you'll whack 5 sec's a lap off! also a good tip a guy told me and dayo was to turn your tickover up quite high-this way when your coming back on the gas it doesnt jerk so much-takes a bit of getting used to but a great tip!
Eddie just rang me and reminded me of this post, pretty to good to see what it was all about a few years ago. My concept of riding has changed somewhat, but I really enjoyed watching the video, see everyone can do it, if they want too.
