Hitting The Seacon Track On Sunday 19/4

[Bard]

Thanks for rubbing it in Tony, appreciate it

Also, I have this nice splittin headache that started when I got home and won't go away! It feels very much like the kind of headache I get when I get hungover...

555- I had a pretty bad headache too after riding in that heat! But oddly I forget all about it when I'm riding and only notice it when I stop

[Zzinged]

Oh man and you didn't tell me this while we were there???

[BigBikeBKK]

Got a video slapped together

Happy Trails!

Tony

ps. anyone know how you can embed youtube videos into posts on ThaiVisa? T

[Zzinged]

[ youtube]the letters after v= in the url bar [ / youtube]

Interesting choice of music

Also, you need to learn to use the zoom more! haha

[Bard]

Pretty nifty vdo

Fun reading. video won't work for me though. Says "Error: try again later."

Sounds like fun.

How fast was that guy going when he fell? Jeeze.

[Zzinged]

No idea how fast he was going. I'd guess anywhere between 80-120

A beer to the first guy that can identify that 'music'

YouTube has this annoying feature now where if it thinks you are using a copyright soundtrack it will just mute the entire video, so it forces you to find some pretty obscure tunes if you want to include a soundtrack.

Happy Trails!

Thanks Zzinged! It works!

As for the zoom, yeah- new camera and all. Though I find that without a tripod the image gets pretty shaky when using the zoom even with the image stabilization...

Let's do it again next week and I'll try to get some better vids then!

Thanks again Z!

[Zzinged]

Yea that's understandable Tony I found that it had very little in the way of stuff to hold on to since it's designed for 1 handed use... I had to resort to propping both my elbows on something solid for those clips I took.

[BigBikeBKK]

Right on Z,

Maybe next time I'll bring a tripod. Also want to get some RAM mounts so I can attach the camera to the bike and hopefully get some good 'action' shots.

So, when are we hitting BRC again?

[Zzinged]

I think twice a month would be my limit Not sure yet how much a few hours of track work would wear on my tyres lol

Twice a month is reasonable. No doubt about the tire wear- all those rights took a noticeable toll on my Pirellis... Ah well- it's TOTALLY worth it!

Hey- I just signed up for a new video hosting site called Vimeo and I must say I find the video quality on this site to be much better than on YouTube.

Compare the same video I uploaded to Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/4231677 vs YouTube:

Interesting, huh?

Wow... seems pretty serious for a go-kart track behind a shopping mall!

I honestly was expecting to see more flip-flops and step-thrus.

Thanks for sharing. Now I gotta try it.

Motorcycle - Check.

Sticky Rubber - Check.

Helmet and Gloves - Check.

Super Rain Gear - Check.

Full Set of Leathers ... ... "Mom's gonna have to do without this month 'cause your Daddy needs some new gear."

[BigBikeBKK]

^ LOL Ithailian

Full leathers are not REQUIRED, though of course in the unlikely event you do take a spill they'll offer the best protection. There were a few guys out in jeans and street shoes. No big deal as long as you don't push it or some muppet doesn't run you off the track.

(I was there on a Sunday which you would expect to be a busy day but I'd say there were never more than a dozen bikes on the track at once, and usually less because the heat just makes it unbearable to stay out too long.)

Your current riding jacket and armored pants will be fine. If you want to try and get your knee down then best to get a suit or at least track pants. Eventually you'll want to get some real riding boots too, though seems the boots you're wearing now are pretty tough and sturdy.

Lemme know when you have some free time- I'm itching to hit that fun little track again soon!

Happy Trails,

Tony
