Heathcote 21 Dec.
I've got a lipstick camera/ digital recorder setup that I wanna use to record a 'POV' run.
What's the deal to post video stuff? I'm only a simple electronics technician, haha.

pov vid of run
Love your work G. Looked to be gett'n a bit close to the centre line on that one.
"It's the eighties and I'm down with the ladies"
I thought you were getting crossed up...till I realised the cam was on your helmet.
btw, what was the safety tag for?
Hey Ice.
Yeah, big back tyre takes some pushin round, especially if you're only a runt probike rider. That all started with 2nd gear wheel spin whilst front wheel up at 60 foot. Then you get 3rd and 4th wheelspin cos you're not in the groove, you're on a 'regional track' (which I'm thankfull to have, and only 28 k's from home.), and wishin you hadda just bought that new slick instead of 'just trying' this 3+ year old one. Was an unreal buzz!
Was still prettywell pegged but, haha. ( runt probike rider!)
Goes to show centre line not nearly as scary as wall.
Shift light was being a shift light and stopped working. I should have already given it a led conversion. Harsh enviroment for globe filament.
Wanna take it out again unboosted for more clutch tuning, and am now getting turbo bits together.
Imagine I'll be annoying 'Booster' a bit in the new year.
Would be good to have it all together end of March.
A 6 for my 45th early April would be a neat trick. Whilst 8.5 is what it should do as is, it's about a year and half from a 6, not a second and a half. Thinkin it's gunna take some doing, and I hope like fuck I get there. As you know, 'Boost is a wonderful thing!'
Havin fun tryin but, and spose that's the best bit.
Cheers,
G
Hey greg, thats sick mate. Its gonna be wild when it gets boosted [^]
Tag is on air shift button lockout so you dont forget it before launch. Lockout stops accidental gear shifts ( button under left thumb)which can bend shift forks.
Auto boxes (made to shift on full load, just bang it in) can be finnicky c.o.t.'s. Easy to bend shift fork/shaft s.
Penalty: Pull motor out , split cases and replace $18 shaft. Re-assemble and put back in bike. Electrics, exhaust, carbies. The whole f'n deal. Basicly fux a day.
Would be pretty embarrassing to leave lockout in, hence the pretty obvious ribbon. Carby plugs have the same, cause it's all too easy to miss them.

You must be stoked with an 8.5 on its maiden outing.
Can you give it a big gutfull of N2O for the extra second & a half you need or do you absolutely HAFTA turbo-ise it?
Hey Graham, what sort of logger are you using? Ive gotta get one for my 1000 sometime.
thats fuckn awesome graeme,when you say tune the clutch for more grip and drive or more slip to stop it trying to spin.must be a hard thing to balance..
MPE datalogger. Good product with shithouse after sales service.
Looks as though Graeme uses his shiftlight as a reading light. Pink trace gives the game away!
Love the barebones style.
