Thats because you arent an SAU:SA member :)

Was posted in the members only forum until it got moved out here.

Hence another reason why people should be signing up for the SAU:SA membership :rofl:

Track days, Grand Openings, Dyno Days, Dawn/Breaky cruise, Birthday dinners....so far things are looking good

how funny do the barrier skirts look on the gorge

I'm thankful someone is doing something. They're to protect sliding motorcyclists from hitting the armco posts. I've seen first hand how much damage those barriers can do to a sliding human body. :) They cater for cars, not motorcycles. Those 'skirts' are an awesome idea. Not the greatest things on earth, but better than nothing.

:P

hahahah riders should slow down :P

but, i see good idea then

Yeah, definitely a good idea. I remember some years ago seeing a guy badly smash up his legs, with multiple compound fractures. Saw the whole crash and stuck around for about half an hour holding the broken pieces together waiting for the ambulance to hurry up and get there, and trying to keep the guy alive. He survived, but lost one leg. If those barriers (skirts) were in place, he might have stood a better chance of keeping his leg and minimising his internal injuries.

Those wire barriers are far far worse. :( There is not much on the roads that are motorcyclist friendly.

I've lost two friends at the gorge (and thats just the tip of the iceberg). I've got other mates who still ride thru there taking unnecessary risks, but they are amazing roads and sometimes even I get caught up in the moment. Recently I've had two friends crash along the gorge and the other roads around the area. Yes, motorcyclists should slow down ... but most and young and invincible. Its great to see that the MRA (Motorcycle Riders Association) take the safety risks of the barriers seriously and have done something about it.

The email form seems to work for some and not for others, its strange, and i really cant work it out. Fill the form and and mail it in, or alternatively, print it off and hand it to any of the exec members. A couple of outings i can think of are Kadina, or a few of us will be at Repco Modbury on Saturday 5th June. Money can be paid through bank transfer, via paypal, cheque, or cash. :)

Yeah, but I know an individual who does 200km/h+ on part of the Gorge every Sunday morning and has never had a visit from the fuzz .... there is almost no part of the Gorge where he would do under the speed limit ....

:blink: Some say, he has no regard for the police, some say, he's an awesome dude, all we know is, he's called the... Stig?

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
