stuck behind some slow dude the whole entire time.... slow dude just brakes and weaves all over the place. slow dude needs to slow down and improve skills.
You might want to chop the crap out of those scrubbers!? Tin snips,,, cut them into a thousand pieces so the smaller pieces can get into the cases & primer pockets. Then, i would say that you have a CLEAN CASE! Don't forget a tad of car wash & wax. You might not have to lube them. ;>)
What was it like ine regards to pressure? I'm keen to take my R1 out there but I just want to get out and get a feel for the track, I'm by no means a racer. Do you get to go solo at first or do they just throw a bunch of people on the track?
Usually all first timers will start in entry level Red group no matter what the skill level (each group can be as large as 20 riders, there are 3 more groups above) , where you will be taught about riding on the track which is very different to riding on the road. They go through everything you need to know in the induction meeting before the day starts. First time on the track you will be a bit nervous. It's important to go at your own pace and don't get caught up on chasing anyone. Focus only on what you're doing. Your mirrors and lights are taped up. Bike handling is greatly affected by tyres and tyre pressures. If not running slicks and tyre warmers having a good track day tyres is good, like Pirelli DIABLO SUPERCORSA SC V3 or Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa 2. If not running tyre warmers always take the first lap slowly so the tyres warm up especially in the morning where the track could be still cold. Learning to look through the corners to where you're going and not following riders in front will keep you on the track. Learning to front brake trail braking to the apexes on corners will help improve your skills. find out more here. facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063964420402
Awesome, cheers. I had a 2005 R6 as an every day vehicle for a few years until it was stolen. Absolutely loved taking that bike through the mountains, it just handled beautifully. I'm not really sold on the R1 to be honest but that's because I never really get to use any of it's potential on the road. I'll have to take it out and have a go on the track but even though I've been on it for a little bit now, I don't really feel at one with that bike yet, it still makes me a little nervous.
It could have been smoother if I turned off image stabilization on the camera which can sometimes fight the gimble motion. Also In my part of the world we shoot in 25p or 50p so if watching on a PC monitor it would need to be set to 50hz or 100hz to play smooth.
Excellent footage -- looks like the Fimi 2020 does well in bright sunlight, not so sure about sunrises and sunsets. How do the red tones look to you? I'm hoping Fimi will keep working on the color palettes. I'm guessing you didn't use HDR? (I first thought you were in the western US, until I saw the cars! Hope you have a nice winter!)
Wow! Great Idea, and I see the plans on Thingiverse, but can you give me an idea where to find the switch and other electronics to finish out the project?
I just used what I had laying around and designed the case around it, getting one exactly the same may be hard where you are. You need what's called a momentary switch. www.jaycar.com.au/metal-momentary-spst/p/SP0755
G'day m8, Great video's. I,ve just finished mine and very happy with the result. Mine is wired to only run in 1 direction on the slow speed setting. Do you have a wiring diagram showing how to wire up the same as yours to have dual speed and reverse. The wiper motor i am using is a dual speed unit but i,m unsure how to wire it up for all functions. Cheers
