You mean the Thruxton?

I remember getting held up by that guy too. Gorgeous bike... did you notice how little ground clearance that bike had? He was pretty close to scraping the exhaust.

That bike is basically a replica of a bike that competed with the Harley Sportster in the 1960s. At that point the Sportster was a pretty bad ass bike.

The very slow people on the track did not bother me at all. Just the ones that had to open it up everytime going down the straight. I would go kinda easy on the straight and i would always check to see if someone was cornering a lot faster than me and let them by(just didn't happen more than a couple times

) I have to give credit to a lot of the slow riders, a lot of them were very smooth and were taking good consistent lines, it was no problem to get past them. It's not all about being fast, there were two girls that were slow but had better lines than a lot of the faster guys and they were a hell of a lot smoother.

I can't wait to see these pictures. My vanity is craving a poster of me on the wall in my house.

Actually Brent's bike was scraping exhaust too...

I should clarify that I fully agree with hessogood, it's the ones that punched it on the straits that were mildly annoying... But no biggie, for it wasn't a race anyway...

They did punch it but those trumpets couldn't hang with the nine two nizzle when I got on it.

Almost any bike will pull mine on the straights... so those guys were even more annoying for me than they might have been for you guys.

Most of it was just me not be agressive with passing though. I'd get stuck behind one person and slow down to wait, and someone else slower than me would then catch up to me, and they would be more agressive about passing than I was. So they'd pass me and whoever I was stuck behind on the straight, and then I'd get stuck behind them going into Turn 1.

I specifically checked a couple of times, and I went no further than 11K. Or at least, that was the gauge told me...

I was putting it to the limiter in a lot of places. That's what it's there for isn't it?

Kept it close to redline. A lot more power than I needed on that track.

Never really needed to redline it for anything Crap, I hate to sound naive on this, but IF my rev limiter kicks in at 14 (the limiters kick in at the end of red zone right?), I wonder how much kick I'm missing out on?

if the limiter starts at the end of redline how are you missing any kick?

I'm still not catching you? If it comes in at 14, you're getting all the kick between 11 and 14, where/what would you be missing?

read a few posts up - he said he never got it up past 11k which I'm guessing is where the red-line starts, but he's saying if the limiter doesn't kick in until 14 he's missing on whatever part of the powerband is there.

Joe are there dyno charts of your bike so you can see what the powerband is and if you really are missing anything there?

**Degsy** · 08-13-04, 11:00 PM

Heh heh, just messin' wich-a.

I was behind you once I think when you punched the thing coming out of 12 and I couldn't catch you agter you got the jump on me (until you braked about the start/finish line for turn 1;-))

I got to admit though, after you guys demonstrated the line, it got fun as hell!

which is why i went out in the wet.

**Awesome** · 08-14-04, 01:05 AM

Degs, I didn't get to talk to you at all, but did you recognize me on the track. Whatcha thing?

**KevinB** · 08-14-04, 12:56 PM

Hessogood,

the link for the next trackday on the 27

http://www.teamdaemon.com/trackday/

I can't make that one, its too close to my wedding. I was cutting it close at this one, just in case I hit the pavement and broke something. Also Penguin has a trackday on Sept 29, gonna try and make that one.

Degs,

I had a blast following you around on for a few laps. NESR's first trackday was awesome, got a lot of tracktime in. Can't wait for the next one.

Kevin
