Motos’ race tips

[Eric SmithMember]

Ok, here’s the story as best I heard it at the time. Apparently one bloke was flying along beside a fence and went a little bit off the track. He hit a stump and the bike flipped and went end-for-end over the fence, throwing the rider about 15 metres, also over the fence.

The next rider took the same line and had almost the exact same accident, only ended up not responsive with concussion. Both bikes were unable to be ridden out and both riders had a ride in the white vhicle with red crosses on them. Apparently the injuries were not too serious.

And that bike looked worse in real life… man it was SPIFLICATED!

This bloke had to pull out at the first service on Day 1 with a dislocated elbow or something similar. The bike was pretty well mashed too. the mapreader was almost totally flat!

How fitting that the other bike that trashed itself should be a Yamaha after Bruce’s smug comments :laugh:

[Eric SmithMember]

Yeah, safe to say the brand of bike was not the problem! More to do with high speed, competition machine meeting solid unmoveable object!

I was interested that there were only about 3 250 4t’s in the race. If I go next year and finish there is a good chance I’ll be a placegetter! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Funny thing Mick, is I too have a pipe that would fix that bike………….

A piece of Gal steam pipe 2″ about 3′ long, would fix it real good…….

at least that ktm rider is good at what he does when he crashed he crashed properly i will give him a 10 out of 10 by the looks of that bike .don t think a yamaha would go fast enough to do that sort of damage

Are you saying KTM riders are better crashers!!, well you may be right they’d certainly get enough practice at it and practice makes perfect and lets face when you ride a KTM you have no choice but to “practice” your crashing technique. As for the very capable engines that KTMs build what’s the point of all that speed if you can’t control it, ahh a 4.1 litre Cortina springs to mind here:P .

Natural enemy of the PDS

[Eric SmithMember]

Well I know two parts of stuff-all about suspension and all that, but I was watching the TBAM DVD the other day – the Hattah Desert Race bit. A KTM went past the camera and Lo and Behold hit a square edged bump and the thing nearly threw the bloke fair over the bars. I guess this is what you mean about the PDS, eh BC? Never seen it before, but it looked nasty! Other bikes didn’t seem to have the same problem at this point in the track… by which I mean non-KTM’s. Just an observation… I’m not anti-KTM as such, but thought it was interesting, that’s all!
