Throttle crew on Facebook, I'll be there with 2 mates if the weather is as forecast. You want the deets?

Are you part of this group too? My gf added me ages ago last year and I stopped taking notice as most of the comments and suggestions seemed uninformed, to put it delicately.

How is it when you are actually out on the ride? What are the people like? When the Thursday night rides were on years ago we used to get in excess of one hundred people, would ride from 7.30-10.30, have a bite to eat then a fration of us would do an after ride sometimes until 5am. It is most likely a different thing but those days were pretty good while they lasted *nostalgia*

Last ride I did was with my mates store, Motoheaven, up to Hotham. It was rad. Will get back into it as soon as I get home.

Yeah my mate added me a while ago, think he's been in it from the start.

Plenty of bikes, but not really any incidents to speak of which surprised me...Having been on plenty of car cruises with SAU there's always been near misses, big lockups etc...With 80 bikes, most of them high powered, I was expecting some mishaps but didn't see any...

Also felt pretty welcome considering I only knew the mate I took with me, and my mate that invited me in, and didn't feel like I was being 'looked down on' for being on a 250 etc...

They pretty much set up their own road blocks at roundabouts etc, so I'd say the drivers in those cars wouldn't be too pleased, but they'll get over it.

All types of bikes too, the usual japs, 5-6 Ducati 1098/1198 porn machines, saw a super motard, a ducati hyper something or other, 5 or so Ninja's like mine which was good, not being the only one, and I caught a glimpse of what I think was one of the new BMW super sports....looked pretty good from the little look I got

Looking forward to summer even more now

Nice sounds like a good group. The posts I saw were probably just the odd keyboard heroes, not the same as being out there in person. Haha, yeah I remember blocking roads, usually in St Kilda or some other built up place. I don't think people liked it to begin with but by the end of it they were so fascinated by the amount of bikes going through that it was worth the inconvenience :P

Interesting about the crash report, or lack of. When we rode we had them occasionally, but only during the main rides when someone inexperienced hit gravel or some object that shouldn't have been on the road. Once the smaller group was out going nuts I supposed we were all experienced enough to know how to handle that sort of situation.

It started off Thursday night rides, then they added Tuesday Learner rides (no over taking etc), then Wednesday night fast ride lol. Sad it's not on anymore (best to my knowledge, last time I went there were 20 peeps and no one would lead so I did, seemed to have gone down the drain), the learner rides would have been perfect for you guys to meet peeps and get a feel of your bikes in different circumstances. Just take every piece of advice with a pinch of salt. 90% of it is crap, makes me nervous >.>

Best part of the speech before we left the first meet point was

'its not a race it's a cruise, and anyone that wants to do monos and stoppies...'

(I'm expecting him to say something like this isn't the ride for that)

'...wait until we're out of the city'

Tripped me out hearing that being used to car cruises

Kinda jealous I missed out on the old school car cruises where people let loose once out of the city. Also makes me think why aren't bikes on aca more often or ever, can't think of the last time I saw a segment on them

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
