Man, they tell us that you're locked into your passing line at the track for a reason. They're fuckin serious about it too.

I just want to point out the humor inherent in: *leaderbiek takes inside pass and then bails and drifts back into passed rider's line and brakes* *blame the 300 for holding a stable line through the curve* also it was her fault did you see what she was wearing e: its not a literbike but whatever sentiment stands. looks like the other guy was trolling or something? https://gfycat.com/gifs/detail/basicanykestrel Razzled fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Aug 2, 2017 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGBk9sTsV_M There's the source video, wreck happens at 3:30. Dude in blue is an idiot - he might be on a 300, but he still parks it for the corners

Yeah maybe the gopro is messing up the perspective but that blue guy looks like he's deliberately brake checking in both those clips to me. Or he's just a loving idiot. It all looks to be happening way before the corner, though.

Watching the video, the camera rider should have expected that poo poo. When a rider passes like that once they'll do it again and he has a clear warning and does the right thing the first time around at 1:35. The blue rider has amazing straight line speed somehow but no cornerspeed and if you're not watching your fellow racers for their weak and strong places you're gonna have a hell of a time passing. Seems like the camera rider isn't pinning it on the straights (or the blue rider has a cheater) judging by how fast the blue rider passes him but how much more cornerspeed the camera rider has.

Another bike flies by him in the straight on the first cutoff, so not pinning it on the straight might be the answer. It seems weird that a dude that lovely could even keep up long enough to be a problem without some mechanical advantage.

You have to consider other riders in those situations just as much as yourself. You also have to accept that going into it or you are setting yourself up for disappointment. The guy who slammed the door is at fault, but the guy filming should have known better. His race craft ended up causing himself to wreck as much as the other rear end hat. He admits as much in the comments of his video. To me at least, it looks like guy filming is new to racing and had a mentality similar to a well managed track day in that he assumed he would be ok letting his guard down if he maintained his line. What I can't figure out is why he didn't prepare better considering he shoulder checks during the turn right before the straight. He should have known the guy was behind him and should have realized he was going to get pulled on the following straight. Rubbing is racing. Homie got Cole Trickled.

It seems weird that a dude that lovely could even keep up long enough to be a problem without some mechanical advantage. He is pinned pretty much all the time. watch the video, on the long straights the R3s walk past the Ninja about 2/3s of the way down it. so there is a considerable power or gearing difference. In the YT comments he says that his braking marker for the corner he got brake checked on is way past where the other guy started hauling up, and he just couldn't adjust his grip fast enough to brake in time when they guy pulled in front of him. All you people saying it was his fault are loving delusional. His only mistake was not having the front brake lever covered. echomadman fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Aug 3, 2017 |

Razzled posted:hunting someone multiple times in the straight and trying to get them to crash into you is not racing I understand where you are coming from, but slamming the door on someone is a move that happens all the time. R3 guy is very bad at it considering he did it very late in the straight and right as he reached his braking marker. I doubt the rider on the r3 had intentions of wrecking the guy. He most likely was trying to bully the camera bike into backing off and is a horrible judge of how and when to do so. I'm not saying it's right. I'm also agreeing with you the r3 is dangerous and should be looked over by the race director or whatever management was present. But again, taking part in an active race throws a lot of that out the window. If this was instead a track day, I'd be singing a slightly different tune.

Oh it was a race? Yeah that's a bit of a gray area, he did have space for himself on the right to avoid the guy then. Guy in front seems like a terrible rider tho. You on a 300 and parking it in a corner like that

Razzled posted:so if someone repeatedly parks it in front of you at the track you're not gonna get mad? Cause road racing is ruined by litigious assholes who start talking about "fault" when you're racing? Like, sure, it's lovely racing, and the blue rider sucks, but the difference between a trackday and racing is that you're gonna see sketchy poo poo like that. If that's legit where the dude brakes (and it certainly looks like it is, given how much faster the camera rider is in the corners), it's your job as a racer to stay in front of those guys by being faster. With that kind of speed differential, you should never be directly behind that kind of rider. If you're racing you should be actively trying to understand the riders you're on the track with and figuring out how to exploit their weak spots. Blue bike passes at 1:35, moves to the outside, and parks it. At 3 minutes, in the exact same way, camera rider only had to push the inside bar to shoot back up the inside, easiest pass in the world. The rider's taking away totally the wrong lesson here, which isn't "he should have covered the brake!" and is "I should pay closer attention to the riding styles and speed of those around me, and change my strategy and line accordingly". Letting the person in front of you set the pace is a bad move. Trackday? I'd be loving furious if someone pulled an idiot move like that. Racing? You should expect it 100% of the time. Nearly everyone's riding over their head in the novice classes, they're meatgrinders, and once the red mist goes, expect that sort of behavior. Also, it's totally legitimate to use lapped traffic to gently caress up someone else's line, that's just racing as a thing.

But to put my experience in perspective, I've raced in events where I was on a 1965 Triumph and some people were on a modern(ish) 125GP bike with a CRF450 motor in it. The speed and handling differences were MASSIVE and I never saw anyone behaving that stupidly. That doesn't just go with the territory.

According to my friend who races in CMRA, they'll do this kind of thing to you on your licensing test-- that is specifically try to make you crash with bad passes and closing doors. You don't have to win the mock race, you just have to finish.

I'm sure every one has seen this by now, but I lol every time I remember it and did so earlier today when I read MJ's CMRA comment. Amateur racing is great fun and I recommend everyone watch at least one race if they get the chance. Sometimes it is like watching 5 year olds attempt to play tee ball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpk-ACFRmIU

I do more miles in my car than my bike, and have comprehensive on both, but for some reason I hate bike thieves way more than guys who jack cars. Maybe it's because a lot of people on bikes don't have coverage for theft?

It's because to make money on stolen bikes you have to understand why people love bikes and that makes you like a traitor to the bike cause that I viscerally despise. Car thieves are more toward the tv, general appliance burglarguy level. It's just a thing.
