owndjoo Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 this is my "new" style of riding. compared to my elbow dragging, this allows for much less work getting the bike to transition and makes it easier on me. now on an exit to a straight or a long corner i still get my upper body off farther to get the power down.

owndjoo Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Well with your runs out of the keyhole I would be too... Big difference when you are running 35s or better and me running 38-40sBut the 1k next time I think I would be needing sixth mid kink on it too.i'd be careful with grabbin a gear in the kink on the 1k. i know my 600 spins a lil through there and likes to wiggle around, so the 1k has got to do the same.

You always ride well, but I think you'll go faster if you do what you just mentioned. I am sure over the years you are going to develope into a great rider. We just need to keep you healthy!!When you coming back? We need to finish that 600, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Thats the course that is run for bike events..are they scared you will go too fast, or is it because they want more turns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 who knows, the chicane is the bomb though. seperates the men from the boys so to speak. you can carry a TON of speed into it and you have to scrub a lot of it on the front tire. super fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have a slipper clutch going through there for damn sure.. down shifting for entrance to the keyhole at speed on the edge of the tire is a bit touchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 yea that's for sure. it was wild on the 600 last year. i'd kiss the limiter in 4th going into the chicane and just downshift and let the slipper do it's thing, then grab another flipping back into the keyhole. lot of time there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 the rest of the track is the same though right? im sure you can reach triple digit speeds coming out of the keyhole and through that right hand kink eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 yea the rest is the same. on my 600 i hit terminal velocity on that straight. speedo reads near 200, but that's inaccurate with my gearing. i'm gonna guess 160ish on the stock motor. maybe 170 with the new motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 the rest of the track is the same though right? im sure you can reach triple digit speeds coming out of the keyhole and through that right hand kink eh?Yeah that is a 160+ mph straight.. I probably pass through that kink 150+ and am still accelerating. On a couple of the vids you can see it just touch 165 before downshifting. I am running stock gearing. When Im running it, Im not looking at my speedo anyway.. Im looking for my brake markers ahead.. not much time to look down when you have to brake for a 90 degree right after running full tilt boogy down through there.

Let bike continue slowing as it runs out 5 feet or so. Pulle it back in trying not to drift both tires, hit the 2nd left apex curb stand up brake some and hit a down shift, then throw it into the keyhole.Chicane is my favorite part of the track.

Chrisoh Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I will glance at the speedo at exit of chicane see where I am at as that gives me an indication of my run out of the keyhole. Then (wait till just before the 5 on days when it is there) find that last photo hole before the close wall ends and brake. I have seen as high as 183 in 5th at the exit of the kink on the 1k. But actual is around 170 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisoh Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 i'd be careful with grabbin a gear in the kink on the 1k. i know my 600 spins a lil through there and likes to wiggle around, so the 1k has got to do the same.So far it hasn't shimmied or from what I can tell it hasn't Spun in the kink. Even WOT in 5thDang I can't type. And shoulder is no excuse for that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 are they scared you will go too fast, or is it because they want more turns?Only Indy cars use it... The speeds we'd hit, if something went bad, they'd have to have those aircraft carrier safety nets to catch everything. It wouldn't be pretty...

Mine probably near 170 (I'd wager 167-170) and a liter bike near 175 or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 So far it hasn't shimmied or from what I can tell Spun in the kink. Even WOT in 5thMine doesn't move around through there, either, but it is spinning like a top... You can tell too as the revs go way up real quick - especially since you're on the sidewall so much. I'd gear it for 6th on a 1000, though. You'd be able to lug a little more and all, but I think I'd still gear for 6th. You ought to ask Agnes or even Etter or someone next time...

Chrisoh Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Finally saw the vids Aaron. You made some passes I didn't think you would. I think if we can get your lines more consistant you will start dropping more time.But very good. Doesn't it suck that when video on bike always seem slower then when your on the bike...Another day with Liz and if he can make the couple line changes that should get you your 1:40s.

Even Nelson I never needed sixth.Agnes won't be able to get on Mid OH with the 1000 this year either.. Poor guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor guy.you prolly wont need 6th at nelson. on the 600 i just click it for a second and then downshift to 5th. shitll bog outta the kink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Didnt I say the same thing as you?? 160+ straight..You added 170 to your comment, homo. 170 on a stocker 750 ain't gonna happen... Even with gearing. Well, unless maybe Mladin rode it and could get a hella drive out of the keyhole...Fag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is here that the faster you go, the more you need. Asking for gearing from a guy doing 1:09s and faster at Nelson won't help a guy doing 1:12s, etc. Not saying the 1:12 guy is slow - we all start somewhere, but he won't benefit from the gearing...I do 6th at Nelson, too... Unless I have Road America gearing or something...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
