It's Dave's first race since TT and to make it a bit more of a challenge the weather has got very warm. So how will Dave get on after so long off? obsessionengineering.co.uk/ @Laramoto
Just had a chance to watch this vlog. Great to see you back out racing. The bikes looked mint. I've only ever ridden on the road so for me it's hard to believe there's so much grip in those rain tyres. Looks like you thoroughly enjoyed yourself. Thanks for the great content.
Evening Dave……glad to see you back on track……and fantastic results.👍🇮🇲👌. Ps if you get the braking wrong….you definitely will be giving it “Two Fingers” ….lol. 👍😜🇮🇲. PPs Lara is ace 👍👍👍
Great video! What i do for cleaning brakes (heard you talk about the not using brake cleaner before), is give them a good clean with brake cleaner, then a little spray where the seals are with silicon spray to stop them drying out, love my silicon spray 😄👍
Well done Dave, both on the track and on the informative video. I’m all packed for Oliver’s Mount this weekend. Can’t wait to see my first ever Road racing event. One off the bucket list. TT an obvious ‘other’.
GOOD SHOW Wavey, Cadwell has to be our favourite, when we lived in UK, we Marshalled there and miriad other circuits, for NG, EMRA, New Era, Classic, and VMCC, out most weekends in summer, and LOVED IT! Now keep up with you and Diligaf and many others, Cheers, DINO and PANDA, from the MED!
YOU ARE VERY WELCOME, We did it because we enjoyed the racing community, we made many friends among marshals and racers, we only stopped when I had the opportunity to retire early and move to a more pleasant climate. LOVE MALTA! Cheers, DINO and PANDA.@@obsession_engineering
Thank you so much for uploading this. I thoroughly enjoy watching your escapades. What a great bunch of people and some great results too. Your enthusiam is so infectious I start to consider going racing myself and I'm a fat 60 year old!! Maybe I'll just make do with booking some Rapid training instead.🤔
Love the videos keep the tips on maintenance coming I’m new to track days and only done cadwell my times are coming down slowly it’s a brill track. But I don’t know anything else
Great video once again. Must have been nice to be back on track and there for yhe enjoyment of it. I wonder if you have inadvertently found the root cause of arm pump 😁
Great video, thanks for all the behind the scenes content like this! One question, do the rearsets really flex/rotate as much as it appears in the onboard, or is that just an effect of the camera angle?
Bonsoir wavey, there's a Sylvain Guintoli video on his RU-vid channel about lock and loading the wrist from the braking to throttle transition which I think mentions finger/wrist combos. Might see you at gold cup, got commitments Saturday so couldn't enter😢 gobshite+cat
Mmmmm - I remember the first time I hit the brakes in anger at the end of the start/finish straight racing my 600 with Thundersport@Donington having just changed out the Bendix MCR pads for the EBC Race pads(£95 a set if I remember vs Bendix £55) and nearly threw myself out over the handle bars such was the difference in stopping force........ Felt like I had just hit a brick wall compared to the Bendix pads which were a bit less brick wall'ish............. Bendix got tossed in the bin thereafter.........
Although you're probably (I'm sure actually) faster than me I definitely recommend one or two finger breaking. I do mostly brisk canyon carving and find myself keeping 1 finger on the brake lever most of the time. I feel way more confident knowing my reaction/response time is lessened before I'll be on the brakes. Especially where I typically ride as it's not uncommon to come across cows or goats standing there in your lane on a blind corner.
