Nov #358 Round 1

[Jim]

When you're doing podium expert laps in your rookie race, I'm sure the rulebook doesn't matter.

[tsorfas]

i dont think he can be ROTY considering he wasnt a rookie?

[Jim]

Don't think he has any road racing experience, so he would be a rookie.

[Doc]

How do you have no experience and start as an AM?

[Jim]

Doc, he did 1:20's on a mortard in his rookie weekend. I dont see the issue.

[tsorfas]

He did not get his license this weekend from what I heard but I could be 100%. Irrelevant anyways kid is gonna be an expert and probably podium by round 3.

[DZircher]

Oh, and as for getting used to GP shift: Head down, shift down. Head up, shift up =)

That is such a simple rule and it really resonates with the way I learn. Thanks for sharing this. - diz

He's like an expert/pro MXer or something.

[CBR929RE]

How do you have no experience and start as in AM?

his brother is Shane Narbonne. I heard Greenwood's son did the same thing but I really don't know for sure.

So Savvas he wasn't in the basic classroom?


whatever the case is the kid was flying out there.

I highly recommend getting a GP Shift decal for your tank and near the shifter. It's helpful for corner works IF they ever need to pick up your bike & move it.

The only issue would be knowing flags and rules. No Biggie right?

That's what the race school is for Doc...

Great idea, I'll ask Miles if he's got any.

[Kurlon]

They used to be required, Tech would stick them on if you didn't have any... You'll want two things noted on your bike for corner workers, the first that it's a GP shift machine, the second that you're running synthetic oil.

Why? (not challenging, just curious, short questions just sound like a challenge).

Cleanup is different for synthetic oil.

[csmutty]

People use non-syn in their race bike? O.o

[Jim]

LRRS doesnt give out the 'S' decal for your front plates anymore indicating that you're running synthetic oil.

Diz, contact Mark at Turn One Graphics for a GP Shift decal. most of us in north garages 9-11 have them on our bikes.

[csmutty]

And good luck getting in contact with him for the decal. Better off ordering online.

[Jim]

i think i have one or two extras at home.
he will be at NHMS next weekend to decal my new helmet

[Kurlon]

Yup, it's cheaper for me to to run non-syn and change more frequently. Given the price of Castrol GTX I can do an oil change every weekend and not really impact my budget. For some engines non-syn cools better too, typically aircooled motors prefer it.

[csmutty]

Huh. I'd rather just leave the syn in for 3 weekends and then change it.

[Kurlon]

Huh. I'd rather just leave the syn in for 3 weekends and then change it.

My FZR is my baby, I like the idea of inspecting the oil after each weekend as I may be able to catch signs of imminent total destruction sooner. It's part of the post race weekend inspection process.

[csmutty]

You're nuts.

[tsorfas]

I use oil left from the deep fryer
