He ins beans with proper chips,can't beat the cafe at mallory

just a quick couple from today , quite pleased with these , shot at distance through a wire fence , first time I've ever got good shots of the Devils Elbow from the paddock side without a media vest . I had the cottage pie too Perkles was right it was lovely .

Very impressive shots Jack. The definition and sharpness when you zoom in is stunning. Obviously you use some serious hardware and know how to use it

Sodding m1 traffic just got in hate Mallory rubbish track

It was monsoon weather at Cadwell yesterday, & even my wets gave up the en-even battle to keep me safe.

I knew I was getting cocky, 'cos I'd passed the IXION instructor & was playing at making little rooster-tails with my knee sliders.

Then the inevitable happened.

Full pelt down Park straight, through the puddle at the bottom, up to the crest still WOT until the II marker. Hard on the anchors, hit the apex for Park corner, throttle a little too aggressively towards Cris Curve & the back let go.

I have yet to review my Gopro footage, but currently that's how I remember it.

I then had to endure a procession of all the riders who had braved it out there with me, riding past under the red flag & laughing their cocks off.
I'd swear ever single one of them was shaking their head condescendingly as they passed the scene.

Bad news. I hope you're ok.

Dang. Much damage?

Hopefully the rear gave out completely.....or did you hi-side? :o

Ouch - you ok StM?

Hope your OK and minimal damage to the bike.

Hope the bike and you are not to badly damaged . Why did you not come to Mallory instead

Nice pictures jack!

Non of me tho? Was the black gsxr srad to quick for the shutter speed on your camera?

And The one with rocket on his leathers...... Fair play!

Hi fella nice to see you joined up had a good laugh in the last session. We'll impressed you were that quick with those brakes on the srad.

Any help with where to get a master cylinder would be great! Going mallory again 29th august!

And breaks! Last session I used them in two places and not at all on the entrance to Gerard's! 110 with you knee on the floor round the outside....what could be better, oh yeah! Stopping afterwards! Ha!

110 that's some entry speed i was amazed how fast you could go Into that corner. On the master cylinder I'm sure someone else will know a good place to get one from bought mine years ago there's different ratios you can get I think 19/20 is the usual. You may have to change your lines to match the angle of the cylinder but you may not also if you want to keep your brake light you will need a banjo with a brake switch in it. But there a great upgrade.

Cheers dude, looked on eBay still not totally sure but will do some reading around it!

And shame you went before the last heat there were only a hand full of people on the track!

Cracking chase don't usually find people who ride like that at track days!
