Did my Penguin Basic School Today

[BrianC]

I was instructing on Friday and the conditions were not fun.

It was a light crowd, so I only went out with the Track Experience group - usually I'll do the Basic instruction as well.

All the school bikes are on DOTs and I was on my street bike with street tires. If you wanted to go faster, you should have looked for an instructor with rains and said something. I'm sure there were several there that would have shown you what it's like to rip in the wet.

I had street tires on my bike as well. I asked Steve to go faster, but he was out of his leathers after lunchtime!

I've had my 06' R6 doing 140 in about 8 seconds. I'll guarantee I can do 140 on Loudon's straight in the dry.

. . . keep digging

whew... I was slightly afraid my post may have killed the potential of this thread. Glad to see that wasn't the case.

Another small bit of advice though, the last thing you want to be worried about at the end of the straight is your speedo. Just put some tape over it and forget you even have one.

To paraphrase:

I just did the race school and I can beat Jorge Lorenzo.

[BrianC]

To paraphrase:

Yeah, that's what I said

I was thinking the same thing...

[eboos]

Yeah, that's what I said

Pretty much.

I'll take Jorge Lorenzo thru my practice loop and kick his ass

[Awesome]

When does the factory bike and support team arrive?

What a pansy. I rode in 7th gear flat out in the snow with slicks when I did penguin.

[MysteriousR1]

Why does this come around at the end of the racing season?

[butcher bergs]

I was going to say something helpful like "your R6 isn't spinning in 5th or 6th with stock gearing" buuuuuuuuuut....

[Mr. Kurtz]

I assume one of the regular NESR pranksters created this account to stir people up, right? This cannot be a real person's responses.

I'm waiting for Godwin's Law to be proven true. Wait for it.........

Brian, were you on the R6 in the light blue Vanson suit?

[catamount]

Looks like we have finally found someone who uses all that power!

[Chippertheripper]

Yes this kids' for real. He was wearing my spare blue/white vanson suit.
I know the roads he's referring to, it's possible (not adviseable) to do 150 on this straight. Alden rd, going into Myles standish state forest in Plymouth. I especially advise against doing this, because it's in my first due area, and I don't wanna scrape anybody up when they bin it trying to avoid hitting a turkey or something.
Brian, I really hope you can back this up with wins next season. Because I guarantee one of these pricks will bump this after the first weekend.

Just because I've set a Google Calendar reminder with a link to the thread doesn't mean I'm that kind of prick...

[Chippertheripper]

I know Josh. I know.

Yeah, I know dude! I went from a guy who was gonna race to get some track time to the dude who can do 1:10's while doing push-ups and fixing my hair... I've ripped the state forest loop pretty fast, 150 on the long straight a couple of times when I was feeling invincible. I've also done over 150 on the 44/3 connector. Definitely not smart, and part of the reason I knew I needed to hit the track. I do get a kick out of some of these guys reactions. Most of what I've said is all true, not even trying to brag, but the reactions either mean I'm coming across completely the wrong way because I don't think I've really posted anything that's worth bragging about, or these dudes really don't know how to ride? I play into it not because I'm that gullible, but partly because it's hillarious, and partly because it pisses me off that there are people who think someone trying to get into racing from the street are going to finish dead last. Also, To the Penguin Instructors: I'm not talking shit in any way shap or form about you guys. You guys all rocked, and I know you'd kick my ass around the track!

[BrianC]

When does the factory bike and support team arrive?

Man, I just know I'm gonna be taking Spies' Tech 3 spot after a few races at Loudon. That's my whole plan.

[BrianC]

Brian, were you on the R6 in the light blue Vanson suit?

Yes sir, You were the guy that crashed in turn 3 right? Going all about 25 mph?

[MysteriousR1]

Wow. This is getting good.

How fast were you going in T3....and I assume this is in the rain

[Chippertheripper]

Look at most of these cats' sigs though. Lrrs am/ex#yaddayadda.

But let's just say, for arguments sake, that 150 down any straight road, or highway means nothing. You just might get dubbed "plymouth's fastest" because it'll amuse everyone that's been watching this, and talking smack on this board for at least this summer. In the end, next April, it'll all come out in the wash. Racing is racing, and all that matters is who wins. Thanks for entertaining us.

Realistically, you cannot expect to jump out there and turn 1:19's on your first weekend.

[butcher bergs]

That tag is already there, Douglas.

Calibrated speedometer? I'd be surprised if you would reach a true 140 on the straight yet.
