Gymkhana

That actually looks really really excellent !

Aw shucks. thank you.

First thing that went through my mind seeing the "circle of trust" was setting up the gate in a circle, just to sharpen things up.

what are the dimensions of thsi circle?

12 mtrs IIR. 6mtrs from centre. Best have a quick look at the vid, though. I have old timers dementia.

24 foot or 7.3 meter diameter.
That would be 12 foot radius or 3.6 meters from the center.

Phew, thank goodness your here to keep me right.

good videos both of you

Now that we know you guys know what you are doing, let us see how low can you go?

I bet both of you should be able to go 18 feet/ 5.5 meters?

Just have to do 2 full circles :eek1

post them up fellas, at least show us how close you get

Yep i saw it but ran out if data dam prepaid mobile broadband

18 ft circle? 9ft out from center? left & right? I'm in. All of these exercise's complement the whole.

WELL incase anybody is wondering, my throttle problems was a radiator overflow hose, that goes from the left radiator, over the engine, to the right lower side where the overflow bottle is. the front throttle linkage which is a lever that is controlled from the throttle cable throttle linkage was grabbing it until it squeezed it out when i forced the grip back.

as for the weather, yesterday was a great fine sunny day, in the high 20s strong wind, and had dozen of bush fires that were out of control with one of the highest fire danger periods ever seen but...., today, its snowing bucket loads, here, and all over the state, as its spring its rare and it never really snows here anyway, some weird weather.

The bike not costing a fortune to fix is a win in my book.

That's some photos. You get biblical weather!

if only i had a photo of frogs ;-)

yeah im happy with the throttle, no riding today though with the snow, just pulled the bike appart yesterday, fairings off etc, to find the problem. i would of done work today on the bike, but it was too fricken cold, so stayed inside tow atch dvds all day, have a rear hugger to install too..

mean while, gymkhana in Australia, http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=804845

that's a really good idea. the gate in the middle forces more control. might as well put gates at the apex of the turns too.... stricter control equals more fun.

funny you mention that, on my grid witches hat, theirs also a drain cap, that is my gate, i stay inside it, and on the otherside, is a raised ramp for wheel chairs, which i must say, when i look at it, i go mighty close to it, guess i gota keep watching teh grid

With a bit more practice I'm going to set it up in a fixed area. Hard to say from the video but the whole thing is within 6 - 8 mtrs. The road is 8 mtrs wide....

so what have we all been doing, hope this thread isnt dead,

i just brought my self an ATC9000 Action Cam from Oregon scientific hd with a remote, their bloody cheap compared to teh other gopros etc.

Sill here! As we slide into Winter, It's up to our friends in the southern hemisphere to keep the flag flying!

Roger that.... snow in the forecast for the weekend in my neck of the woods.
