Any Pics from Calabogie June 9-10 and July 16-17?

'Bogie doesn't have a photographer anymore. Anyone there take any pics? I'm #535, silver 600RR.

Cheers.

There is a guy taking pictures because i was there on the 16th.

Didnt catch his name or anything, but talk to Sandy at Pro6. He would be able to tell you who he is.

 

[Garyola]

Yeah the photographer was there from Montreal. He was working for John Sherrard/Inside Motorcycles but did take a lot of shots of all of us at the track that day. So get a hold of John to get the guy's co-ordinates.

I did take a few but none of your bike. Got a fair bit of video too, if it's of interest.

I have a few pictures with you in turn 8 during the open session Tuesday afternoon.

I actually spoke with him and got his card. However, like Garyola said he was primarily working with John. In any case, if you are interested his info is:

Here's the ones I took.

Awesome RSV4 Factory APRC (ridden well but carefully in Yellow):

Very very strong KTM Akrapovic RC8:

(ridden and owned by Gino who owns a Desmosedici)

Both of my Stupidbikes:

The big Stupidbike after John Sharrard's tinkering:

It's .... SO .... much faster with the right spring and rebuilt shock.

How to spot me when I'm there on the 6th of August:

New toy...

And some video:

Me starting out on the 05 Stupibike in the Yellow group. This was session two of Monday, when I decided I needed to move to Red since I couldn't help but pass people in corners.

From Tuesday, this is an afternoon run. Corey Sherman and John Sharrard leading me (on a S1000RR to review) and Richie sneaking past me. It's a short session since Sharrard and I got a checkered flag for some reason, yet they ran the session another four laps? Mystifying. I couldn't make the bike work the way I wanted with the camera on... I couldn't lay my arm across the tank or get my head down on it through corners, felt very awkward so these are 2:15-2:20 laps, where I was down into the low 2:10s consistently. 13,000 RPM in sixth... time for a new sprocket for this track.

This is Richie's view of the a different session. He was on a Yates Jordan Suzuki. No pressure...

(uploaded wrong video here, see below... it's still kinda neat to watch)

Also, for those looking for their bike, this was just the open lapping at the end of Tuesday after the rain. I was just messing around and showing some lines to my buddy on the purple GSX-R. Should have put the camera on my helmet, as I rode side-saddle almost half the time, lol

BTW, anyone that notices the mis-shifts that happened... quicktime shifters sometimes don't work well unless you are at full throttle. This happens even to factory shifters like the S1000RR, RSV4, 1199 etc.

 

[dricked]

You didn't have the suspension reworked since Clint rode it? Keeping it all replica like, rockin the black 9?

 

[Shaman]

Yep, keeping it all original. I have the other bodywork slowly being worked on.

And yeah, what can I say... too damned busy to get it sorted out until now. With the right spring and shock, it's so bloody much easier to turn it... it was going wide on or off the power, could not make it hold a tight line. Now it's night and day...

 

[Shaman]

Made a mistake with the upload. Here is the actual video from Richie's Yates Jordan Suzuki, where I am on camera for about seven minutes (red/black leathers, red/black bike) and annoyed as hell because the camera is right in my way. You can see from the Red group video above where my helmet repeatedly hits the camera and I give a great view of my Goatee a few times, :lmao:

Yay! That would be awesome. I'll PM you.

Too bad the shots aren't in T12 or T14... the only places I can drag knee so far.

You probably have shots of my BF as well if you have them of me. Red/white R6, #375.

Speaking of suspension... Just had the fork springs changed on my bike before the last TD at 'Bogie. HUGE difference in stability. Ended up with Race Tech, 0.95, lots of tweaking needed to be done because the amount of feedback was crazy. Robert from Pannon did the work for me. Awesome guy, fantastic work.
