Focused Events have got a Cadwell offer for £69 which is tempting as well. . . . .

Have to say Oulton is probably my favourite track now to ride the Superduke on now. Its just a riot the front wheels lifting all over the place

I've got this strange habit now where if i hit my braking marker, get good corner speed, nail the apex and get good drive out a few corners i seem to celebrate in my head and then completely bugger up the rest of the lap and never hit another apex.

Got a Contour HD bullet cam from an Ebay seller in the states. Bit of a delay and some debating back and forth and they must have slipped up and ended up sending two. Punted the spare one on TDR.

What programme are you using for editing Gord?

Fool proof man. I'm shite with computers too.
Imma whore the life out the Donny vid too once I see if there's any good pics. I'm never usually one for battles on track but had a good run with a guy on a Rossi rep R1 with full leathers. Felt like I was in a GP!

Been having problems with it lifting the rear off the deck if i brake as late and hard as i want to. I'm editing a Donny vid and that will show it.
He just slowed down the speed i apply them and how much force i use through the braking zone. So its more a squeeze of the lever that gets harder then tapers off transitioning to turn in....where as before it was a grab, lift rear, release lever a bit to recover it, then back on hard at end of braking zone making entry very busy. I could get away with that in the cars but the bike didnt like it. In the cars you'd brake harder at the start of the braking coz thats when you had more downforce so it braked better then would snatch a wheel once the speed came down. I've to clamp the tank a lil bitty more so when it does lift it isn't instantly trying to rotate round the headstock and i can hold it straight.
On entry i though i was doing it right. Full gas, chin on tank, arse cheek off, clamp tank, brake and pop up, head and shoulder in on tip in and we're away. Problem was at tip in the thing started moving so i had to pause to let it settle before getting to apex where as i should be on the gas as soon as i know the bike is making the apex. I was doing as all the above, then just at tip in i was moving my ass even further......like taking a second bite at it. No idea i was doing that.
I'll get the donny vid up in a day or so. Just working on whoring the absolute living shit out it.

Change aspect to 1080. Muche clearer.
Pete, scroll past all the whoring nonsence and you'll see what i was talking about on the brakes.
Wee dice later on with Valentino Rossi. Could have done better but we were told about duffing guys up on the breifing so playing it all gentlemanly again. SD is ok on the brakes and exit. fookers just drive right by me on the straights.
