mossrider Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I added 2mm more shock length and stopped draggin the exhaust can in this corner. (maybe a 1/4 inch ride height) Last year I had ground through the belly pan, the strap that holds the carbon end cap and almost through the exhaust can in this corner and T13 on short course. It's stiĺl close to decking tho. Besides the wife, who knew 2mm made such a difference? I also lost a few pounds, and think I'm a little younger this year too... whoopie!

Beemer Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 My question is, did you pay a professional photographer to get that nice pic? Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faffi Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I reckon if I ever drag anything it's because I've already fallen off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminded me of a good pic a friend of mine had showed me years ago after he'd paid a professional photographer to capture him getting some air time on his new Suzuki TM 100.

gregjet Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 You are a lot furthur off the bike so the bike can be more upright. His head is still very centre. The top pic is at the tyre edge limit ( no where to go if you need to tighten the corner). The lower pic allows your suspension to work more and gives you a bit more turn in leeway. Great pics . Best way to deconstruct your riding. Pretty much the only way I had to get any improvement when I wasracing as there were no coaches. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify...

mossrider Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Well I jinxed myself with this pic. Just got back from June race weekend and I got over confident in this very corner and lowsiding it EXACTLY where this pic was taken. This is my favorite corner on this track and I thought I was pretty good in it. Turns out I'm not. I was leading the grid into it once again after a fantastic 2ND row start in the lightweight superbike race; in the wet, on rain tires. I think to myself, "I got this", brake marker, downshift 6th, 5th, 4th, apex, roll on gas, BONK! Tucked the front. Idiot. Pics and video to follow. I blame Beemer. On a positive note, I'm fine and the bike isn't bad. The suit in the pics is trashed, all hail good equipment. I raced the bike a short time later after some minor repairs. This sticker showed up on the bike. It's not easy to earn this distinguished award. russian photo sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
