TMP - Victoria Day Weekend

[InfiniteDimentia]

From where I'm standing.... Mr Rupert has some MAD F'N SKILLZ!!!

I seen him carry inssane speed through 1, peg it down, bring the wheel up with the back tire shakin' so bad it was makin 'S' patterns.... if it had been anybody else... they would've been layin' it down hard.

And yes.... I have some wicked wheelie pics

nice meeting you! I'm so grateful to have met "TEAM TURNER!!" they were beyond amazing!

I had such an amazing/fun time on the track! Even though I didn't get to do the GWB program (got mis-scheduled) I did pretty well with just the guide. All I did was do 2 laps with him and third lap he followed me and that was it! By the end of the day I was passing some people and gained some speed! Also, I was surprised how I wasn't a bit scared or nervous to go on the track!! I'm offiaclly hooked! Next track day for me is in shannonville in June!!

happy to be part of spreading the track addict germs. Nice meeting you and hope to see you at the track soon.

I'm new to the sport(second time on a track)and I have to say how friendly and helpful everybody seems to be.I have to give props to Donald (GWB)for setting up the suspension on my bike. That was the best money I ever spent. I couldn't believe the difference.I went from having no confidence in the bike to dragging both knees.Special thanks to Gary (expert rider) for the tips. There is so much to learn when your new. Anyway , I had an excellent day and can't wait for the next one.

Glad to hear it

cheers

Hey Toastman what is the difference in your lap times between cruiser -> sportbike? You guys have any videos of you tossing that thing around the track?

[ungrateful_son]

Ya I was down the pit lane. What group were you in?

Intermediate; I picked up a yellow/black/silver one piece from Team Turner, and look like the yellow power ranger now - albeit a fatter, older one

Last Fall

I'm out doin my thing, enjoyin my pace and then seemingly outta no where.... a freakin gixxer blows past me like I'm standin still. (Keep in mind, this is "Hot shoe" or "Super Duper Moto GP Superbike"....
Well ...I'm not impressed at how fast this "person" spanked me, so I go to the pits and asked "Who's on the GSXR ....???"
I am told that is Scott Rupert.
Suddenly, I didn't feel so bad.

Awwwww, did the big bad gixxer scare you? Now I know why you were bashing my ride

[Metastable]

Hmmm - not sure I ever noticed you out there. Oh well.... we'll all hook up for Mid-O.

Looking forward to it amigo! Too bad we're losing Rog/Elky to hotshoe...

[Metastable]

Oh that's OK... at least I won't get passed as often.

not enough to justify the sportbike, quite sad actually. Cruiser is so easy to ride.

Not sure if there are any pics or vids of the cruiser out there.

Wasnt there but "that 396 bike" would be Scott Rupert. 2009 SOAR Expert SBK,600 and Open champ.
He is also one of our instructors, a great person and as you saw a hell of a rider.

Ahh, well that explains a lot. I would have to imagine that he has balls the size of my head, also! It was definitely a thrill to watch that thing coming down the straight.

I am thinking your shot at becoming internationally famous lies in being the first guy on Youtube to drag a saddlebag!

even more impressive is watching him get on the gas coming out of 12. The guy is awesome.

went out for a few laps with him on my own in the wet for the soar license and just couple small tips he gave me about the raceline opened my eyes!

is 12 the left before the pit entrance?
