16/06/08 - The TVSF Track Day Experience

[Stig]

might be cheaper to get a set of calipers off fleabay and strip them Si? Piston kits aren't cheap (as I'm sure you know already). Guess thew SV only has 2 pistons per caliper but even so...

I've already been down that road. I would need to do it again now, which in reality means I could have just gone and bought the pistons the first time round. There is also the lottery element of buying on eBay. At least if I buy the pistons, I'll be starting afresh. And yes, two pistons per pot. Eighty squids for the complete set including new seals.

I looked at doing it for the ZZR, but with 8 pistons plus one at the back, I'm just going to have to live with them I think. managed to clean them up OK, but a bit of the nitride coating has come off - I'll just have to see how it lasts. it does stop OK with new EBC pads but you really have to grab a handful to stop quickly.

Looks like an awesome time was had by all.

I was going for a later date purely as I have to get it past Jo. Not so sure I'd be able to get another one so soon. Especially when I need a new rear tyre and a new piston kit for the front callipers.

Is the ApeMan finally admitting that he is also governed by the lady in his life? Welcome to the club buddy!

I never stated otherwise. :wink: The difference is I am married and have children. You sir are single but still governed by a woman. That's just not normal, right or even acceptable. :razz:

Says the man who cant afford the AR08 :cool:

It's not so much the money, it's going away for a weekend with bike buddys again when we are saving for a holiday.. In reality I won't be booking another trackday for a few months..

Girfriends are great, if you don't like them you ditch them and do what you want.
Wives on the other hand, now that's a totally different ball game.

[Stig]

Not sure if this is going to work but...

You tube link (at last) to the on board footage I had for the one session.

The comment by drdaif isnt very flattering is it :rolleyes:

Looks good though.. I NEED to do another one.

[Stig]

Yeah I thought that was quite funny too.

Blatantly fake though, if you see the extended version.

Obviously, but doesn't make it any less funny. It's the commentary that's the funniest.

[flibble]

So.. anyone here doing any trackdays in near future?? :D

[ogden]

Trackdays are so restrictive. What you want to do is get a road bike!

Mari, come down to the Shire this coming Tuesday and we can discuss it. :wink:

Can't make it this Tues :(

Defo next one though.......

But here's one for thought.... http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=115823

But as it's a circuit saver deal, the price will rise as more people book on.
Can't beat £95 for the GP, can leave in the morning so will save a night staying somewhere ;)
