Taken out at +140mph!!!

There is the fast line, an inside line you take to block someone from being able to pass you on the inside (during a race), a wide line you take to block someone from being able to pass you on the outside (during a race), and running a predictable line (during a track day). Keeping this one up! :up:

 

What about being predictably unpredicatble?

 

or with a hand down for added pivot point stability???

 

There is a difference between a "Track incidence" caused by a mistake...and..."Stupidity".

 

There is NO countermeasure for stupid!

+100

 

Wait a minute, I take it all back. Ted is a genius! I’ve been approaching racing all wrong! Next season this will be my championship-grabbing plan in four easy steps,

1) Start a track day org
2) Terrorize as many riders as I can
3) Offer three up high side rides to the moon (had to one up him here)
4) Get national exposure

Wit da rep I’m gunn’a get ain’t no ones gunna git in ma way! Hells ya! Ge owfa ma rode!

Watch out Jeff, u think Roy, Rob and Albert were trouble. YOUR CLUB WILL BE MINE! You have been warned

 

You forgot the all important step 5... knee down/hand down.

 

Think that's a Trade Mark of his, that would be crossing the line

 

How about I just slap everyone in the head as I go by?

 

You'll just have to one up him on his trademark then

 

Or make your passenger wear a tshirt over their leathers that say "CAUTION: Passenger about to take flight"

 

2 hands / 2 knees down?

 

All great ideas, writing them down. Have to go pound some nails now, keep em come'n

 

Makin' sparkies with Anton Ohno's glove!

 

knee down, knuckle down, ass down, got the whole package.

Seriously though, I've seen the hand drag on the 2-up bike many times. Whee!

 

Those riders are easy to deal with.... It's the swoop or massive brake check out of left field that gets you.

 

I took a tumble in the grass at Grattan... same deal. Coming into T3 going to go outside and the guy comes ALL the way from the inside to the outside.. I sure wasn't going to hit him....I apply brakes...hard...touch grass and BAM! That's the way it goes. I was in teh Intermediate group. FWIW, he never even knew I crashed. I had a staff guy chat with him, he realized his mistake and that was that. Sh#t happens.
