Hey BrianC

[CEO]

I'm honestly sick of this place and I'm gonna kill the dude who told me about nesr if I ever actually meet him! J/K ceo...

I'm Southborough's fastest so you'll never find/catch me

and I'll be there to pick up the Amateur wins.

You mean second place...

you gotta look down. CEO is short

I got to get some of them elevator shoes...

[CBR929RE]

I'm counting on you losing time from being out over a year

[union]

I'm counting on you losing time from being out over a year

If you need some help, when I come back around Ill give you a tow for a little bit.

Were you there his rookie year? I wouldn't count on that.

Yeah, it took quite a while to break that :21 barrier, then I got down to 17's and haven't made progress since. 'Course I haven't raced full time since either, but somewhere around the 18's seem to be my wall on a MW at Loudon. Just can't convince myself to push it anymore in my old age.... ha.

For some odd reason, I have no problems going 10/10ths at VIR or 'Bogie... odd. Guess I developed a concrete wall allergy.

Well 23's IS movin!


... when you've only got 50-60hp.



But seriously, I gotta give Jim & Brian credit cuz they got me beat. I only managed to get into the 24's my first year of racing...



... on my broke ass, clapped out EX500.

ya, but what about bench racing? how fast have you gone on a bench?

[OreoGaborio]

I've done 4

[G21forme]

You're staying in Intermediate for awhile.

probably, I don't race but I still wanna go fast so I'm working on it.

[Awesome]

About two and a half hours in a hotel pool locker room. Really narrow bench too, and I only knew her about an hour prior.

Depends on the high school locker rooms benches :

4 benches? you get around

Look me up at the next trackday, I think i might be able to show you somethings.

Cool, you've got vids of it on your laptop?

[Awesome]

He can point out the people to learn from.

[OreoGaborio]

Don't worry, guys. Greg won't fall for that. He uses that line all the time.

It's no surprise to me that people are able to do faster laps on smaller bikes in the novice range. I know some will disagree, but when I changed my gearing after a couple weekends, I noticed that it seemed easier coming into the turns after fast sections because I wasn't hauling so much ass on the straights. I know it seems like that doesn't make sense because w/shorter gearing I should be reaching max speed quicker and therefore able to go faster, but I swear I was hitting higher top speeds on the straights w/stock gearing. Anyway, my times were dropping and I just felt that it was easier to get into a rythm. Using a Tard for an example, it must be so much less scary as a novice approaching those turns and making it through them smoother.
W/the higher hp bikes, it definitely has a steeper learning curve if you will, because we have to learn how to slow the things down just right to still keep that flow thru the turns. I think figuring that out is something that is going to make a major difference in my times next season. Basically, I want the rythm of an ex500 combined just right w/the top end of the r6. It's all about the braking, which isn't as hard on a tard or slower bike imo.

Eh, this thread was supposed to be a joke around some shit talking between some rookies that were closely competitive all season.

Now it turned into a showing off competition about how the faster guys are better than us. Congrats guys, I'm really impressed.

Did Jimmy just say I'm faster?

Brian, you're a cool dude in the flesh but damn, you really suck in the Matrix.

I don't know how to put this... but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important.



PS, you two are fucking TERRIBLE at shit talking... hence the change of direction in this thread. Both of you should try sucking less at the intarwebs

cornerspeed is cornerspeed no matter what youre on. the thing is when youre on a low hp bike cornerspeed is the ONLY way to go fast. for the most part i think guys on MW+ bike depend so much on the ridiculous acceleration that they tend to slow down too much or "park" it in the turns. someone that has raced LW bikes will be able to carry that cornerspeed will have less of a learning curve when riding a MW+ bike.
i think, realistically, if you radar gunned greenwood in a turn on a 600 or 1000 and doucette on a SV in the same turn, i bet that their MPH would be very close. its the acceleration of the 600/1000 that makes the lap time difference between the 2

[OreoGaborio]

And I bet if you point that same radar gun at BrianC, it would tell you that he has the biggest excuse book in the history of LRRS.
