You gonna be out there this weekend? If so, look for the black 636 wearing 187 on the yellow plates.

 

cool .. gonna be there Sunday. well saturday night
I'll keep an eye out.
#355 here

 

OOooh Saturday night we've having a bit of a paddock party. But I was told not to advertise it, soooo you didn't hear it from me.

 

:up:

 

We didn't make it there and get setup until after dark. so I couldn't look for you.

It was kind of funny when we pulled into the pits there had to be about 30 people with chairs all watching faster on this flat screen outside of this motorhome.

I was a passenger in one of the cars trying to dry off the track.on sunday morning and decided that doing that track for the 1st time in the rain was not a good idea for me.

Going to try and go again next Grattan outing.
hopefully I can catch up with you next time and buy you a beer or something.
Thanks,

Here is a lap around with Reg Pridmore...
Grattan

 

Is reg the bike in the vid, or the one filming, b/c I'm not too sure about the lines the camera bike is taking. Wouldn't have been my choice.

What was wrong with that lap??

 

The problem was that it took about 1:35 to get around that track.

 

I only do a little quicker than that on the supermoto.

 

A couple of places the camera bike stayed to the inside of the turn (like T4 and the hairpin) rather than take the outside to inside line like I would have chosen.

I'm not saying it was right or wrong, just different from what I would try to do. That's all. I'm sure there are a lot of good ways around the track.

That's slower than I went in the rain there.

 

j/k I have no idea what my times were last time there.

 

No worries, anything below 1,35 is respectable.

 

Reg is on the camera bike. He teaches tight lines, because his class is meant for street riders. When I took his 2 day class, He would let you know if your line was too wide by passing you on the inside (after talking with the group about it and asking if anyone had a problem with it) on his VFR. Kinda humbleing when your on a 929.

I can probably get a hot lap of the race line from a buddy. We were there for 3 days this week.
