Re: scooter racing
Completely forgot what colors your bike was, that you were the only Honda, and even what number you were. I did remember the camera mounted to the front though and thought the video was from your scoot.

I have to get the kodak cd to convert my videos. They are to long for youtube or any of the other photo or video sharing sites.

Good job racing Baka
I see you have a weight and ht advantage over your competitors.
It pays to choose the the right sport.

Re: scooter racing in the northwest PICS AND VIDEO ON 1st PAGE
keep in mind that im 137lbs on a 165lb bike making about 7hp.those guys are on a 235lb bike making around 12-16hp stock and 18to24hp modded. they are also running fully adjustable suspension front and rear. Im using blown stock front kymco legs that i had to put 10w30 oil for it to work and a stock rear 87 elite shock with a steering damper to dampen things in the rear. if you do the math,they still make twice the power to weight ratio. so really no advantage for me on a smaller bike. I have to make sure that I don't screw up going and coming out of corners and I have to be at wot by the apex (middle of the turn to get a good run out of the corner to get up to a good topspeed before the next corner.

Re: scooter racing in the northwest PICS AND VIDEO ON 1st PAGE
Steering damper as a secondary shock? Is it just tagged onto the stock mounts with a longer bolt?
I've been seriously wanting to mount one up front as an actual damper, but the amount of travel in the forks makes it hard to picture. I'm thinking some type of linkage setup.
As far as long vids, I'd just cut them down to 10 minutes and do multiple uploads.
Momentum in turns is fun, I've toasted all my friends (riding modded elites) while I was on a ruckus (it just had a variator) because I didn't let off for the turns.

For those that are coming or think they want to come out, there is also super moto racing and mini gp racing also. So lots of different bikes and racing going on.

Re: scooter racing in the northwest PICS AND VIDEO ON 1st PAGE
So I took 2nd this time but it was a really good race.some passing going on and I stayed on the * of the guy through the tigh tech section but he would pull around 10 to 12 bike lengths down the front straight on me.its hard to compete against 166cc fully worked engine with my 72cc. Pics and video will be up soon.

Re: scooter racing in the northwest PICS AND VIDEO ON 1st PAGE
If you want to get into roadracing, check to see if there is any super moto going on in your area or mini moto racing.if there is, they could put you in class to race in or if you have more than 5 guys, they can make a scooter class for you.

Re: scooter racing in the northwest pics/video 1st&4th page
Awesome track!!!!!
Re: scooter racing in the northwest pics/video 1st&4th page
This track was alright. Its old pavement with patches here and there and bumpy. Tight and technical though. The seattle track by far that all the racers said is the best track we race. I like the seattle track because its fast,sticky and technical plus smooth.plus its the longest at .82 miles long with 15 turns vs the pats acres which is .62 miles with 12 turns.veedubh20 wrote:Awesome track!!!!!
