It'd be very cool to also see the classes for this theoretical race series based off power to weight(including rider) and bike type or something. The Z and me would be competitive then maybe 😂😂😂
I would love time trials, because I’m not that competitive, and have no illusions about my skill level. Something where I could just enjoy it and try to improve on my own times and learn in a more casual environment. That would be really fun. I’ve seen people racing minibikes like a Grom or TNT 135 on go kart tracks, and that looks like a riot. I’d also like to try riding on a dirt flat track, just to see if I could get the hang of it. Basically anything that didn’t require a huge financial investment and uses the structure and competition to make it more meaningful, without going overboard to where it’s ruined by people taking it way too seriously.
Exactly that, I like to try improve my own times, change lines etc and see how it works out. That's why I love the idea of endurance racing, you just have to do the best you can, consistently, it's much less of a do or die make the pass type thing. Yeah any bike on a track honestly looks like a blast, I've never not had fun, even on my old CBF1000 and that thing was HEAVY.
Dirt is very fun, it's sad there's not more of that here or I'd be doing it. Yeah you have a lot of that even at track days, people turning up with race bikes in novices and riding like they're on trial for motogp.....always funny to see.
🤔I thought that was what stickers were for, to cover the rusty spots and dings in the paintwork. That is how I always used them 🤣. People with comments to make about larger riders should address them to Trevor Nation, Terry Rymer, or currently Loris Baz. The Dakar Rally is my fantasy. When I was young I used to go to Silverstone regularly with my Dad to Various club events, Bentley Drivers, Jaguar Drivers, Veteran and Vintage meetings which all featured handicapped races. They were always entertaining. I don't know if such things still exist. I look forward to hearing, seeing reports from your next track day. Thank you. 👍
Hahaha well if that were the case that'd be fine. But that truck is like 40k and is not old so stickers on it's paint is madness :D I enjoy a nice tasteful sticker over a dent or scratch tho :P
Oh I get them all the time. They usually do it privately on instagram though as I feel most people are cowards. Brave of them to think I won't share it either way :D Baz is a beast. I've lost 10kg recently, want to lose another 10 or so and I'll be happier. I'll never be a skinny build human but that's alright :)
I'd love to do the Dakar. Was always harder to watch but I used to get magazines that'd cover the whole thing and the photos and stories were and are incredible. A true endurance race.
That'd be cool, endurance racing and time trials are my current goal as I feel they're the most achievable :)
Hopefully I'll get a camera setup that passes tech!! :)
We need time trials and more hill climbs
Ohhhh hill climbs. Yes!!
Good vid! I like the idea of some form of time trials. Something that gives you a measure of your improvement (hopefully 😂). I did some karting (only a few times, indoor and outdoor) and absolutely loved it. My size/weight was a disadvantage (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!!) but I was still competitive and it was enormous fun. I loved the accuracy, the slightest error on a corner and watch the guy in front leaving you....... I'd like to at least do a bike track day one day. Cheers, Andy.
Thank you sir. I think it'd be a blast, especially an open pit style one where you can come in and out as you please. Exactly! Rent transponders and have the craic :) Karting is always a blast, I'm always fairly fast on them but yes, massive disadvantage on the straights due to my belly :D Yeah racing is what my brain was made for, it's definitely when it's happiest. You should :)
Hi
Great videos
What is your engine temp when you riding like in this video? And motorway? (How many bars)
You’re toll so do you have any lowering kit for pegs or you good as it is?
Cheers mate
Thanks! Usually 4 or 3 depending on ambient temp. Never 5 any more since I got Ivans tune.
No, it's fine as is but I would raise them if anything for more clearance.
I guess hill climb events are kind of time trials?
Have fun on your trackday next week.
I'd love to have a go at trials riding, although I think I am too old and unfit and un-flexible to ever be any good at it now. I entered a couple of enduro races when I first got into dirtbikes around 2009/2010 but was hugely uncompetetive and crashed so many times,, I don't think I want to go through that again! 😀Hahaha.
I would certainly count them there. None of those around here either that I've seen. Which is mad. Huge motorsports country still tho. Much better than Ireland.
I hopefully will thank you amigo :)
Absolute nonsense!!!! You should do it, you're great off road so take the skills in to it and take yer time and enjoy it, it'd improve the auld fitness and all :) Do eeeeeeet
@@TheGorillaBiker haha... I'll happily give it a go, just not likely to ever compete
@@HippoDrones that's me, not mad to compete just do events that are timed yano. MAYBE one day I'll be fast enough and have money to do endurance. That'd be cool.
@@TheGorillaBiker Am sure you can make it happen... you only get fast by doing! 🙂
Lawyers are why there's nothing like the IOMTT in America.
That's probably true sadly. Plenty of spots here would be cool to run a race like that.
@TheGorillaBiker There's 1000s of places where a IOMTT style race could be held in the USA where there's enough infrastructure to handle the crowds and great roads to race on.
I agree “Don’t put stickers on your paint” 🫣
Drives me absolutely mad. Like you'll leave a big ol mark no matter what you do. 😂 Even just the difference in sun damage is obvious.
@@TheGorillaBiker agree 💯 drives me mental
