Nice Kricky....... So you did have time to come and do my driveway!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for nothing man........
ha ha little dont be a hater Im sure work would let me borrow it to do your drive. I could push the snow into your garage and salt you lawn so you dont have to mow all track season
ya know jigmoore, I've long pondered this question for years now. I have my own theories. I watch, I pass, I listen, and I wonder the same thing. Maybe I need glasses, maybe they were sanbaging and started going fast after I passed them. I don't know, it is still a mystery to me.
Jiggy, Last weekend at Autobahn I was sliding my tires all over the place. Mostly the front & sometimes both. It was scary at first but I got used to it. Going into mostly left handers, the front would start to tuck and slide predictably, then hook back up, gently. Rear was spinning up on exits, too. This was partly due to a cold and very green track, possibly due to having a dozen days on my Power Pures. It was mostly, I suspect, because I'm circus freak tall and can't properly hook my knees into the tank. As a result, I tend to put too much weight on the bars and subsequently,the front tire. When I made a conscious effort to weight the pegs, and keep my mass centered on the bike while cornering, the problem went away.
not that i'm ever one to question appropriateness....but would it be appropriate for me to take a nap after having just freshly awakened at the butt crack of noon?
THE unanswerable question.. Which one is better a 600 or a thousand that i rode when to slide end ass end into corners getting ready for track day for racing with GP shift versus standard while pushing the front on a kawasaki is better than italian v twin 2006 AZCLWN-1000000 AMA faster than Jap bikes but slower tires are worst than faster tires that are stickier than slicks or a DOT has a little bit of tread for on the road to drag elbows i need the awesome package or the type r leathers with a hump or without the hump gives me my suspension settings i got off the internet but WSBK is more realisitic than moto gp?
so which group do you fall in....the group that this thread was started about (the ones who brag that they are pushing the front and spinning the rear...yet can't maintain a laptime within 10 seconds of a good non-sliding laptime and i just don't see them doing that when i pass them and look back at them while eating a sammich)? or the group that agrees that at trackdays if you're sliding you're doing something wrong and should be fixing it and begging for advice on how to quit it? ...but then there's the real fast guy group where slidin is ridin....that everyone thinks they are in....
