Drifting of a different style

gary McCoy is probably the best at it, of the GP guys. When he had a decent bike and was in the top 5 he was pushing really hard. Braking so hard into corners that the rear of the bike unweights and slides all over the track.

The Supermotard guys are something else. Its a completely different style of riding. The bikes only weigh 100-140kg so they are the fastest bikes through the twisties. Power is between 30 to 80hp, and being a big bore single cylinder they sound like nothing else.

that happens to a lot of guys chaos.

couple of years ago in WSBK Ben bostrom's setup was great, ass end of the bike used to sway from side to side.

dads building a supermotard right now, but we wont be backing it in like that!

that takes bulk skill.

Grrr - his kawasaki has ample power to get it sideways. Power is not the issue, its riding style, and the power delivery of the bike, setup, etc. He came from a speedway background, so thats how he always rode.

Mini Me - brand new DR650, full staintune system, Laced 17" road wheels, airbox/filter mods, rejetted, geared down, new bars, strip weight, 2nd hand race tyres, suspension at both ends, should be fun. Only got 600k's on it, so its not even run in yet. I wont ride it too much.

One of the things i love about them, is that they are cheap to crash. :(

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
