[jejaaka]

what are the requirement to race at pg?how much is the fees???me intersted,hehebut dont know how to go.damn should try on my last sp and tzm,hehenow got wave and rxz dont know can give it a go or not

[indralove]

This is actually a stepping stone for u. it's ok to ride with a small bike first. make the small bike ur practice for lining and negotiating bends ....

 

From my experiece, i first came down to Pasir Gudang with a P-plate in 1995. and till now sometimes i ride small bike into track ....

 

But as u grow more practice skills, u feel that timing needs some improvement ... then u'll upgrade ....

 

better try with small bikes first , coz u analyse the road with little speed ..

Rhema, have you got your leather pants and jacket already?

otherwise, someone selling used spyke suit for $550, very cheap ...can consider.

No... The Spyke is really a steal, but I don't have the money for it. If not I would have bought the Kominie full suit at Motoworld for $500 liaoz. I'm selling my Nolan helmets to raise some cash.

 

Anyway while I don't have leather pants, I want to get some kind of knee protectors to use first, at least like those driving school ones. Where to get?

 

NSR is fine on track in my opinion. Except at some corners, you would wish it had more power when accelerating out of the corner, especially the downslope followed by upslope right corner. No power to climb!

Dont mind me but Mr throttle you said something about race school or something like that. Is there any in singapore? And how much would it cost? And is RS Taichi a good brand for a full leather suit?

Okie, maybe it wasn't too clear..... As in:

 

I think his comment of taking a TA200 to "buar kar tar" is meant as a joke dude.

 

If it was not, then I find it ridiculous too.

 

[Guest TheSquid]

well, to bua the footrest of a ta200 aint really hard.

in fact, some classify it as an everyday kinda thing

to bring a ta200 down to track... now this i would like to see.

coz i for one think that a ta200's turnin is really ..... limited.

Agreed. It's a good and economical commuter and all but taking it to a track is going a wee bit too far....

 

IMO, one shouldn't use a spoon to eat noodles... heh heh

 

And I think the key really is NOT to buar your kar tar at all

I was talking about trackdays at Phillip Island Grand Prix Track Australia, not in singapore, sorry.

Australian Superbike school organises these trackdays and instructional programs for a fee.

 

RS taichi suits somehow doesnt look or feel as tough as the european made suits.

For a similar price , better get the european suits

Ya

One has to know the litmit of your bike not yrself.

For the human litmits are usually much higher than the machine and pushing your machine over it's litmit can be a desaster!! :nono:

Me??

I'm still an Amautuar on track...

Just wanna go down have fun..

most likely feb..

[Terrible One]

think alot of ppl dunno how to enjoy riding..i mean..taking any bike to a track..all u wan is fun..unless u're a full time racer..u only got urself to beat(maybe a few friends as well)..it's abt having fun and challanging urself...i enjoy every bike i ride no matter how crappy it is..it's fun to ride a big cc bike and be the first off the lights...but it's also fun to try make a 20 old Vespa ride striaght and keep the engine from stalling..u can ride half ass wif a huge bike..u can also ride a small bike and push it to the limits..my bike mech for example,he still ride a Mito at PG..so dat makes him a poser??and those ppl in 125GP??i'm not saying dat those who ride big bikes dunno how to have to and handle the bike...but bikes of different class are different..can't compare..

 

PS..if u really bring a Phantom to the tract..ppl wun be laughing wif u..those who paid to practice and improve lap times wun be too happy to see a road hogger clowning there

I plan to do that one day leh... Maybe have to remove the footrests and install some shorter ones, cos really too little clearance.

 

Then its time to BUA SADDLEBAGS! HEe hee....

[zelda1031]

[StingRhea]

I agree with what 1 guy had mentioned: Footpegs shouldn't be touching down. Here's why:

 

If given a certain corner on a track, given a fixed speed. Less lean angle means more rubber on the track which in turn translate into more traction. So if u could make the same corner, using less lean angle but keeping to the same cornering speed, then that's learning something abt advance riding.

 

It won't make u look like a trackgod. It won't give u a u a sudden rush. But it will let u get on the throttle earlier. And it will improve ur timings. Plus its safer as well. Hope this gives food for thot... Cheerios!
