For sure overcoming the mental side & having the confidence in myself & the bike is a part of the problem for me.
Front tire looks nice but yea, I am tearing the rear tire & I do seem to crash a bit but both were the front end letting go & can 90% be attributed to cold tires on a cold circuit.
I get the feeling of excessive front end dive, bike feels pretty stable through the corner (but I'm also pretty slow)
On the corners I have hit fast I do get the sensation of a gentle wallowing movement.
I'm just trying to get some baseline settings & work from there.
I also changed the front...
Ok, I hope this all makes sense, here goes & I hope it's in the right forum as I only ride on track & I'm a mediocre green group rider.
Bike is 1991 Zx7J with OEM front forks that have just been rebuilt with new seals & oil but still same OEM internals.
Rear shock is Penske unit & to be honest...
Green group had some "excitement" as we waited at track entrance for a small yellow plane to land during one of the afternoon sessions.
He headed to the Carousel end (as you'd expect so he could land on the back straight) but he then abruptly turned 90° & headed toward the trees, then went below...
Forecast is sunny & 27 degrees ( but it is GB) & judging by people posting here numbers shouldn't be an issue as there's 5 or 6 of us from Guelph attending as well as the guys & gals on here
Looks like TMP have just added a lapping day for this coming Sunday, July 3rd.
Too short a notice for me but thougt I'd let everyone know, I was notified by e-mail today
Edit. It's actually on Robs link above, my bad
Anstey crashed in tonight's practice, was taken to Nobles hospital but he's ok.
Also tonight Michael Dunlop lapped at 132.365mph average with Hutchy not far behind him.
Going to be an interesting race week.
Cant wait for the TT, everyone should go there at least once to experience it.
Used to go every year before moving to Ontario in 2005, really, really miss going there & for the Manx as well.
Don't suppose there's any TV coverage in Canada of this event is there?
& Billy Redmayne was lost at the Scarborough road races a couple of weeks ago.
The Isle of Man starts in 2 weeks (or less) so lets hope the TT gods look down favorably on all the competitors for this years event & everyone gets home safely.
I recently bought a very nice 1991 VFR750 for a good price with the intention of making it into a 2nd track bike but in reality its too nice for that so I thought lets get my M2 & venture onto Canadian roads after many years of riding on English roads.
I regularly ride the track on my ZX7 & have...
Was looking forward to getting rid of the cobwebs tomorrow at TMP but unfortunately bike isn't ready, still in the shop for fork seals & oil leak fixing. bummer.
Think they've lost a couple along the way looking at my little spreadsheet I keep but last year they also had a load of evening ones planned (that never really happened) so maybe it just looks like they've dropped a lot?
I'll be there April 30th & May 14th for the Vintage guys track day & then...
