lol that jimbo guy with the fireblade he crashed before even buying it has been banned from riding while living with his parents. He latest video is a whinefest talking about some sort of meet he planned and his failing company or some poo poo and not being able to ride now, not worth watching.

I know that copper, he's generally pretty cool. Rides a Triumph Tiger on the weekends. Let my kid crawl around his patrol car and ask him about everything when a car hit my fence and he was the first on scene.

Holy poo poo. What's the shear strength on the threaded part of a bolt vs a roller pin? Has to be way less

Dowel pins/bearing pins should be hardened steel, 130kPsi shear strength (give or take). A grade 5 bolt is like 70-75kPsi. If he used a screw with the correct grip length, then the part under the roller isn't threaded and can support the full shear. Since that's extremely unlikely, then use the minor diameter instead of major. Looks like a #10 screw, so .150" diameter (thereabouts) for a shear of about 1200lbs, worst case. This is vs a ~.200 pin stock, which is 4000lbs (ballpark). So the repair is only 25% as strong. Given the safety factor inherent in chain design, I bet those things fail in a small number of miles.

take that out of the timg tags to make it work


Anyway, both those guys are real good. My first reaction in that situation would be to straighten up and steer past the back of the car, rather than tightening up and going for the front. It would give you a space that's opening up instead of one that's closing, but it would also mean crossing the double yellow, which is kinda slippery and also you'd be on the wrong side of the road. But the car is blocking traffic coming the other way anyway so I dunno. Hard to say if there's a real "optimum" strategy there. Anything where you don't crash is good.

:shrug: I'm still not sure, it's a link now I guess though. IMG and timg looked the same on the mobile app, it had the play arrow but wouldn't give me the option to play gif. Oh well

I think I'd personally go for the front. Definitely need to improve my emergency braking skills though to reach that level.

Interesting, in my experience most people when pressured will attempt to dash through a closing space rather than an opening one. It happens in foot traffic too, it's a bad habit I also have and it's really difficult to shake.

Logically I'd want to go around the back, but in the heat of the moment I'd probably try to cut in front. Not necessarily saying I'd manage to miss the car at all.

Does that include Tomac's second front brake issue of the year? Because someone should figure out what's wrong with his brakes. You know, at some point. Just a thought.

Those are photo's I took today. out of ~500 there's about 10 that are any good, sun was directly in front of me, and the bikes were in the shade. Not a good spot for the evening really.

Weather was awesome last week, then turned lovely Saturday, cleared up a bit on Sunday and I managed to get out for a ride...



Weather was lovely again today, but cleared for practice, looks like its going to be more of that through the week too

Those times are "The fifty weeks that the TT isn't on" - the Mountain course is all public roads with no speed limit, and of course you're free to ride on them during the TT fortnight when the course isn't closed for an event.

It's a public road, its open whenever there isn't any practice or racing session on. I live here so I get to ride it whenever I want. Albeit its only 1-way for TT fortnight.

My bikes an XSR 700, although its not very fast, I can keep up with most people as they haven't got a clue where to go fast and where not to. Saying that I saw about 120mph coming over the mountain mile, but it was absolutely terrifying with the pogo like suspension the bike has :(
