Nicely done! Good to see you reel in and eat the crotch-rocket.

I wish I had video of the session before I snuck out on the track and got the footage you saw. Expert session and guys where dragging their knees all over the place and myself and a guy on a CRF450 where railroading past them. I'm about ten or 15 seconds a lap off of that pace in this video because my tires where really going south but mostly because my clutch was slipping (the bad way) on the back straight and who knows where else.

It rained in all but two sessions today so it was a bad video day but I did learn about a short-coming in my camera set-up that I'll have to sort.

Nice work Eric. I assume that is a pencil cam that you are running on the fender. Looks like a ton-o-fun out there.

Jolly705 · Jun 5, 2005

What program are you using to play the video? I can't load it on my pc or mac???

Gasman · Jun 5, 2005

Mine came up Quicktime.

You must need to update your copy of Quicktime.

During the video, the Motard chases, catches and passes a roadracing bike, a.k.a. "crotch rocket". I was congratulating him on this feat.

There should be a glossary of motorcycling terminology somehwere on this site.

There are no wheelies because my slipper clutch was slipping the wrong way. Turned out the nut holding the inner clutch hub had come lose on me.

Next time I'm out there I'll get some better footage.

McMucker · Jun 20, 2005

thats the idea :arsenal

now what you gotta do next is go out on the hour every hour approaching midday and aim to get the sun mid frame. Then you can build it up and truely claim to be doing 12 o'clocks! :laughingr :clap:

sportbike is the correct term, who the hell even came up with the term crotch rocket, it sounds gay just saying it, i'm surprised anyone would type it as a reply

Mr.Sparky · Aug 13, 2005

That was cool. All those nice corners and you passed the gy on the CBR on the straight :thumbup:

Flyin2low · Aug 13, 2005

The sportbike didn't seem to be trying too hard, especially on the straight where he was being passed. Where is the the 'backing it in' action, no peg scraping? You don't need a good clutch for that...........

At these trackdays, there is no passing allowed in the corners. You gotta do it on the straights. That makes it difficult to pass a liter bike with 150hp on a thumper.

On a supermoto you can reel them in with ease in the corners, then they blast away from you in the straight. Although you've usually caught them by the next corner already.

Eric is a great rider, he'll outbrake the sportbikes and get past them before the other rider turns it in.
