Who's doing Ridesmart at Cresson this Monday

[Monsoon X]

Me
SHS Slugur (James)

Ne one else?

[Nick Chapman]

Wish I could. But, I'm working Monday :(

[Monsoon X]

Wish I could. But, I'm working Monday :(

Aww too bad I won't get to slap around that 125. ;)

[Nick Chapman]

Aww too bad I won't get to slap around that 125. ;)



Oh hell! I may have to call in sick now! :D
There will be plenty more track days. You will have a chance to be schooled by the 125 soon enough. haha :D
Your on a R1 right?

[perezsteveo]

I hope that there isnt any 2nd gear corners out there JC :D





















:p

[ELVIS]

i was gonna let that go.

gods bless.

[perezsteveo]

i was gonna let that go.

gods bless.

It was to easy I couldnt help myself

[Monsoon X]

I hope that there isnt any 2nd gear corners out there JC :D


I've been told by a regular that taking the whole track in 3rd is cool and can be done. It will actually make me smoother.

[perezsteveo]

Well thats good.... I need to get some damn riding boots and pucks so I can go out there some time.

[SHS Slugur]

You can rent leathers.

[Nick Chapman]

There are two 1st gear corners out there. But, your probably much faster than me, so 3rd gear would probably be ok for you ;)

[Nick Chapman]

Hey JC, do you know which direction your going on the track? Clockwise or counter clockwise?

[ELVIS]

I've been told by a regular that taking the whole track in 3rd is cool and can be done. It will actually make me smoother.

your already smoother than billy d. williams. what else you need?? :D

god bless.

[perezsteveo]

You can rent leathers.

I have leathers(pants and jacket) just need boots and pucks..... I know I can rent boots as well but I figure if Im spending 50 bucks to rent why not just wait and save a little more for boots.....

[SHS Slugur]

I have leathers(pants and jacket) just need boots and pucks..... I know I can rent boots as well but I figure if Im spending 50 bucks to rent why not just wait and save a little more for boots.....

You can rent full leathers for 20 bucks. By the way, your pants and jacket must have a 360-degree zipper, I believe.

[SHS Slugur]

If someone wants to work a corner on Monday (June 13th), let me know. If you do, you win a free trackday.

[Monsoon X]

Hey JC, do you know which direction your going on the track? Clockwise or counter clockwise?

No. I do not know yet. I just want to have fun and learn something Nick. If I have to only use 3rd, then I will. There's no need for me to go out there and start trying to take corners at 10,000 rpm in 1st gear. I'm liable to spin up the wheel, get scared, chop the throttle and highside. hahahahaha 3rd is just fine for me.

[Nick Chapman]

No. I do not know yet. I just want to have fun and learn something Nick. If I have to only use 1st and 3rd, then I will. Oh well. We'll see how it goes.

You can get away with it. I was only being a smart ass :rolleyes:
There are a couple of turns that should be taken in 1st or 2nd gear, and they are together with each other. But you should be alright from 1st to 3rd. If your going clockwise, you can carry a little more speed thru those turns. If your going counter clockwise, then you have to slow it down a little more.

[perezsteveo]

By the way, your pants and jacket must have a 360-degree zipper, I believe.

Mine do....

[Monsoon X]

My second isn't totally unusable. It just can only hold a certain amount of throttle input before it slips and grabs. If I have enough momentum I can take a 2nd gear turn but, I can't give it alot of gas or it will slip.

I'll find out what I can and can't do when I get out there and do some laps to get familiar with the course.

[Nick Chapman]

Wish I could tag along out there with you guys.
Listen to the instructor. Ty is VERY GOOD! And he knows his way around that track VERY well. He has the track record there, and he set it on a 600. Just don't try to keep up with him ;)

[Nick Chapman]

Oh! And there is a shop right there at Cresson that can fix your second gear if you want ;)
Jim Camborra is one of the best 4 cylinder motor builders that you can get.

[SHS Slugur]

Mine do....

Maybe they have strap-on pucks they would let you use.

[MattB]

I'll be there.

[Monsoon X]

Maybe they have strap-on pucks they would let you use.


That'll work. I heard that Steve likes strap-ons.

[perezsteveo]

That'll work. I heard that Steve likes strap-ons.


Shhhhhhhhh!!!! JC that was our little secret ;)

[staticX]

I'll be working :o

ill be there. you guys wanna meet up and drive out there? im going out the night before so i can get my bike inspected and get some food. i dont wanna wake up at 4am to make tech

[SHS Slugur]

I live about 20 min away from Cresson, so I am heading out Monday morning.

[kpc01]

would they let you go and not race....just to watch? I want to go, but I dont know if I'm ready for it yet. I am still thinking about it, also my leathers wont be here until monday sometime so I wouldn't have them anyways :( But if they will let you watch I'm definately down, I might end up doing it....are there a lot of people that are still learning? So I wouldn't be the only slow one?

Yes, there are all different levels of skill. In addition, you can rent leathers for 20 bucks if you need.

[kpc01]

hrmm I might try to make it out there then, anyone have a mapsco where this is...I'm in Denton. I might see if my buddy wants to head out there with me. I could sure use the lessons :D

[SHS Slugur]

It is 80 dollars for the trackday and 20 dollars for rentals. If you are interested in doing the trackday, PM me and I will send more information.

[SHS Slugur]

I found out tonight that we will be riding the track counterclockwise. I believe this is the easier direction---no blindcorners/decreasing radii.

[BottleRocket]

It is 80 dollars for the trackday and 20 dollars for rentals. If you are interested in doing the trackday, PM me and I will send more information.


you talking about this monday? i think its $100 and $50 for rentals

[Super Coupe]

I've been told by a regular that taking the whole track in 3rd is cool and can be done. It will actually make me smoother.

I used 2nd and 3rd. You won't have much rip off the corners if you never use second.

[SHS Slugur]

PM me...I can get you a discount.

[SHS Slugur]

Your reply inherently justifies a v-twin's advantage.

Anyways, Monsoon X rides an R1---While your bike makes ~45-47ft-lbs of peak torque at 10,000RPM, his makes 60-65ft-lbs of torque at 3500-4000RPM. Additionally, his bike has taller gearing in first and second than 600cc bikes. Do you care to retract your statement?

[cbrjames]

I wish i could go. I want to see some of you ride this thing. Should be interesting. Oh, and like Nick said, don't even THINK about trying to keep up with TY. And, just a little warning, don't be scared of the horse shoe! If its your first time, it will look kinda scarey, but its not as bad as it looks.

Whatever you say man. The taller gearing will make it lug even more than it already will. If we both went to the track and he left his in 3rd the whole time and i was in second I got money mine would come off the corner harder. No I do not wish to retract my statement. I don't have to have the massive V-twin torque im a little guy on a little bike. When I would come off the corners it wanted to pull so hard I had to keep myself in check cause a few times I would run up on some of those v-twins with the massive torque. The extra revs of the inline would play in your favor sometimes for less shifts. I say my power band is from 8k to 16k to the revlimiter. Thats an 8k rpm range. That seems like a pretty wide range.

[kpc01]

well, my full leathers wont be here til monday or tuesday, and also the ridesmart website says 100 bucks then 80 for the leathers, I am going to hold out and try and make it in August. This will give me more time to get used to my bike too, so it might be good. If it is free to watch, I wouldn't mind coming out there at noon or so and watching people ride....but for sure count me in when August comes around :D

[Monsoon X]

I used 2nd and 3rd. You won't have much rip off the corners if you never use second.


I doubt it. ;) I can get into the gas much earlier in the corner if I use 3rd gear w/o fear of spinning up the rear tire. I come out of corners pretty hard. Harder than your wittle Kawi. ;)

[Monsoon X]

And, just a little warning, don't be scared of the horse shoe! If its your first time, it will look kinda scarey, but its not as bad as it looks.

What's intimidating about it?

Oh really? I don't think you have any idea how much torque an inline 1000cc bike has. My bike makes more torque at 3500 RPM than your bike does through its entire RPM range. Assuming we both have the same speed and hit the throttle at the same time, do you still think you will have more drive coming out of a corner? My 3rd gear pulls harder than a GSX-R750's 2nd gear. Your bike would only come off the corner harder if the 1000cc couldn't keep traction. Dude, you really need to stop jerking to your 636.

[SHS Slugur]

What's intimidating about it?

I'm assuming it is a sharp 180-degree curve.

Like I said earlier, I can get you a discout: 80 dollars for the trackday + 20 dollars for the leathers. If you want to wait, that is fine. Would you like to work a corner? If you work a corner, you earn a free trackday plus free leather rentals. This is an opportunity for you to go out there, watch some bikes, learn some stuff, and ride free in August. PM me if you are interested.

the shit spewed from tamestangs mouth is unbelievable. how old is this guy??

bro, its a 600. thats it, its not the second coming of christ. its a little 600cc kawi.

god bless.

[Monsoon X]

Decreasing radius or something?

[perezsteveo]

My 600 owns all of you :D

[SHS Slugur]

Decreasing radius or something?

No se.

[cbrjames]

JC, its just kinda challenging at first trying to figure how much speed to carry thru there because its just a long curve. Its not that bad, i'm just trying to get ya'll pumped up.

What's involved with working the corner? I have worked many corners man whoring but I dont think it will be the same thing.......lol.

Cool. Can it be taken at triple digit speeds?! :D

[perezsteveo]

Cool. Can it be taken at triple digit speeds?! :D

only with a 600 ;)

[staticX]

That track looks like my street

[cbrjames]

Cool. Can it be taken at triple digit speeds?! :D

Suuuuure! Maybe you sliding thru there on your side at triple digit speeds.

Maybe you should borrow tamestangs bike....his is teh shyte and can do anything ;)

[ELVIS]

w3rd son, and he has only been riding for a couple of months, can you imagine how good he and the almighty 600cc ninja are gonna be in a few yrs?????? :eek:

god bless.

No seriously. Is it a fast sweeper or what? Man, give me some insight. I'm hype!

[cbrjames]

No its not fast. 1st gear for you. ;)

[Monsoon X]

No its not fast. 1st gear for you. ;)

LOL YOu know what. That's what I need to work on. I can hang with 120mph corners, knee close to the ground but, 1st gear tight turns, with steep lean angles, scare me. I feel like I"m going to fall over because I'm not going fast enough. hahahahahaha

That right there is the main reason i posted what i did. By the 3rd lap you should have it down pretty well. Cresson is a fun track. One, if not, the best track in the CMRA circuit IMO.

[Super Coupe]

Yeah real funny. I didn't even get to work on that corner as much as I wanted because we had 3 red flags from people wiping out hard!!! :mad:

[Super Coupe]

I doubt it. ;) I can get into the gas much earlier in the corner if I use 3rd gear w/o fear of spinning up the rear tire. I come out of corners pretty hard. Harder than your wittle Kawi. ;)

Well we will have to go ride sometime so you can show me.

I was going by my cousins 04 R1. It feels a lot like a 600 down low and has the big power up top.

i cant wait till some fool on an SV650 busts your ass out there :rolleyes:

But wait, its a vtwin, that can't happen.........according to tamestang.

9 months son get it right! I never said I was any good. So yes god bless you for not having your facts straight. :D

[Monsoon X]

Well we will have to go ride sometime so you can show me.



Aint no thang. ;)

[Super Coupe]

But wait, its a vtwin, that can't happen.........according to tamestang.

Of course a V-twin can beat me I never said that it couldn't happen.

I just don't see many stock ones at the drag strip beating me without some sort of heavy mods or big CC motor.

Lmao!

Hey tame, you know your NEVER going to live that thread down, right?

[Super Coupe]

Lmao!

Hey tame, you know your NEVER going to live that thread down, right?

Yeah I know.

[Monsoon X]

I'll own Tamestang in the curves.......using only 3rd gear. :p

[Super Coupe]

Lets go ride on Ida road and see that big R1 work. We can put a 120mph speed cap on it too to keep it safe. I know you can't this week cause of ridesmart but maybe the next weekend. Only way to get better is to ride with peeps faster than you.

is that why you wanna go riding with him? :eek:

[Super Coupe]

Yes he said he is faster than me so it will make me a better rider to pick up on some pointers. Friend of mine down in sherman that I ride with is freaking fast as crap and everytime we ride I pick up on something to make me better.

Don't cops monitor that road at all?

I've never seen one on that road. We have even just stopped and chilled and practiced wheelies and crap.

Ok when do you want to meet up at redline, denton, or ennis? :confused:

Ok here is the deal. Here pretty soon I will make a trip out to oak hill and I will let him know so he can come hand me my azz and yall can bow down the V-twin that spanked me or the little 125 dirt bike motored gp bike that tore me a new one too. :rolleyes:

I just wanna turn a decent lap time. I changed out the coolant Friday night and went back in this afternoon and added some Water Wetter. I hope to learn ALOT tomorrow. :)

I don't think we are getting lap times out there.
