Barber motorsports raining track day
Posted: Thu Nov 12, 2015 10:07 pm
A few images and short videos at a soggy track day. PV controller went out due to rain and my rear rain tire would not fit due to chain being too short. Had no power coming out of tighter turn unless I kept the revs up. Was a slow weekend but the rain was actually a good challenge. Had Pirelli rain on front that worked great but poor traction from the rear SP. Also met Dave Moss who recently purchased an RG400 and said he is riding a TZ750 at the Race Of Champions at Phillips Island in January. Brought my bike over for him to look at and was nice to have an approval of my work. Was also a beautiful TZ750 in my hotel lobby from Barber Museum. Also booted of the track because something supposedly came off my bike. I told them no but I skipped last 3 session to find the corner worker bring me a Honda part. I was rather upset because I knew I put the bike together better than that.
