Title: Re: Try this on a Savage/S40 Post by Jiggyfly on 03/31/13 at 20:49:49 Being a road racer, I cannot fathom being able to wrap my head around a 38 mile course. Tracks I've raced at: Road America BlackHawk Farms Putnam park Grattan Gingerman Brainerd MidAmerica Gateway VIR Carolina Motorsports Park Jennings Talledega Roebling Road Daytona Barber USA International Raceway & oddly, I can see doing essentially a lap of all of those linked together, but not with stone walls, curbs, buildings, poles, fences, gates, & dirt mounds everywhere. The speeds attained there are insane. 200mph on the 1000's. me & 2 friends are going next year. I'm trying to get Cal Crutchlow to let us stay at his place! Lol No......really.......I am! ;) |

Title: Re: Try this on a Savage/S40 Post by WD on 04/01/13 at 05:56:47 I'd love to. I'd prefer my 250 vintage racer for it though, but, since it is a couple years out from being back together... Speed wobble on a Savage? Did you hit a slick patch or something? They aren't referred to as "Slow Pokies" for nothing ya know... Lisa won't let me go, she knows it would be nearly impossible to drag me (kicking and screaming the whole way) back to the States... ;) |

Title: Re: Try this on a Savage/S40 Post by oldNslow on 04/01/13 at 06:44:29 There is a really good book titled "Riding Man" by a guy named Mark Gardiner about the IOM TT. He's a weekend road racer who quit his job, and used up his savings chasing his dream to ride that race. Manages to qualify - not an easy thing to do by itself - and races in two classes on a Honda CBR600. Even though he finished pretty much at the back of the pack in his races, the book gives some real insight into what it's like to race over there. I highly reccomend it. Got my copy from Amazon for my Kindle, but I think there is a print edition available too. |

Title: Re: Try this on a Savage/S40 Post by Pine on 04/01/13 at 10:15:29 I did 168 at 'dega... Dale Jarett Experience. Pretty fun, though I dont think I want to go that fast on two wheels... and definately not when wobble sets in. I wouldn't mind watching though. |

Wow! Great movie. Thanks Sero.. Wish I could read whatever language the subtitles are in though. I could only understand about half of what Martin said. Thats quite the accent! I always thought I spoke english :) |

A 2 - 4 mile circuit is easy to momorize, and linking a number of these is not difficult. If you can memorize a 38 mile circuit then you must be... quite in another league. Isle of Man, Nurburgring (Nordschleife) and Pike's Peak are among the first circuits that come to mind, where you will need years in order to learn the entire course... (and yes, I do know Pikes Peak is not a circuit... but I wanted to include it anyway ;)) |

Title: Re: Try this on a Savage/S40 Post by jcstokes on 05/13/13 at 20:43:58 Pescatori, what about the Mille Miglia? Although Moss and Jenkinson set the record in 1955, I feel Fangio was perhaps better as he did it alone. His Seven and nine thousand mile runs in South America during the early 1940's are even more amazing. |

Title: Re: Try this on a Savage/S40 Post by TobyJug on 05/14/13 at 20:14:00 Many years ago in England I was a Motorcycle Instructor and I once worked at an event with Dave Taylor The Wheelie King. He was famous for, among other things, riding round the TT circuit on one wheel at an average speed of something like 60mph. Nice guy. |
