Yet more questionable moves from Warthog

No TVSF trip would be complete without some good sausage ay Jon

No one told then you only need torches if it's dark

Warthog was determined to light the BBQ with nothing but a leaf, some sheeps wool and a twig...

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

X2 excpet I have no Boradband at home at the moment

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Can youi use photobucket or does your firewall not like that either? I know Warthog used that too, he could link to it?

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Good pics guys :D Need some of the on track action though :)

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...0/RIMG0628.jpg

The guy bending over (Sorry, don't know anyone's names :p) looks like he's going to be sick into his helmet!

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Tis me, and no I wasn't chucking my guts up. Does look like that though :p

Hopefully Tony (FG1) will have some shots of the track. Will also try and get some from the track photographer when they update their website

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

ooops, don't have any stills of the track. Just took the video to to the track side.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

All track stuff will be from Tony and his vids, from Si and Saeed on their onboard vids, and from Mr Trackday photographer when he gets his **** in gear! I have hosted the photos on photobucket, they are there for me so it must be your firewalls.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

I need to convert the DVD into DivX or similar to upload it. Any idea's?

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Ah er. Not really. Post in the main site, maybe more people can help you there...

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

BT do not allow any links to file sharing sites.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

I am a bit of a whizz at that kinda stuff. I'll send you a few programs that should let you do it. I'll also send you an app that will let you cut the video down so that you can publish parts of the video.

Alternatively if you want me to do it for you I could pick up the DVD or do it for you on your PC when I drop your leathers off.

Jon

PS - when do you need the leathers back? I am on holiday next week and then on business the week after so if you need them in the next 3 weeks I will pop them round before the weekend.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Great pics guys, looks like a right laugh. Look forward to seeing the vid when its out.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Ahem :rolleyes:

Nice pics Warthog.
:)

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

looks like a wicked day. wish i'd known you were going, as i would've joined you with monday being my day off!!

how was the gixxer suspension saeed?

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

I spotted the 675:D Wondered who might claim ownership:D

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Looks like it was loads of fun, dam this flue type thing thats going around and my dumb boss....next time hopefully!

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Rock Solid :D and managed to loose all the chicken strips on both sides, some ace left handers on the circuit. would definatley be a knee down time on track if I did the track again.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

I've already decided I want to do it again. That circuit suits the SV to a T. Already had a look at prices. I'll have to keep a sharp eye out for another cheap day. None yet.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

I'd be happy to have another bash there were some dates in Sept?

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Count me in...

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

+1

So many corners for such a short track. Brands Indy is quite a good one too for the SV but less corners. Price seems to have shot up for that though.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

As I did not get the video I have decided to order the CD with all the photo's including any background ones I will post up when I get the Cd

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

There are but they are weekend/bank holiday dates which means much more expensive. Also if you choose a weekend or bank holiday the noise restriction is enforced.

There are no future midweek dates as yet. But I think as soon as there is, I'll be booking just as soon as possible.

Uh oh!!


Rockingham Nat Trackday Saturday 1st November 2008 - £75

Might be a tad on the cold side though. Plus it's a Sat so noise restrictions would apply.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

What 105dB at Rockingham isn't it? Mine was alright and the Sunday I was there there was a Supermoto you could have heard from the M1....

and lead us not unto temptation etc

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

brilliant! i almost wish you said it was bad cos i want it on mine more than ever now :p lol. knee down is brilliant the first time and gets better and better each time!! :D really want to do the rock. anyone going to come to mallory with us :rolleyes:

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Totally agree.. Kneedown was a buzz! The first time it just briefly touched but on the next lap at the same point I held it down for the whole bend :D Was a great feeling :D

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

:-? :smt087 :smt088


:pukel:

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

you're nearly there mate from that pic, just need to get one ar5e cheek off the seat and stick the knee out more towards 90 degrees.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Looks like a good time was had by all! Shame my bike now doesn't really do corners.... otherwise would've been well tempted for the next one!

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Course it does. Just not as well as some. Still well worth doing a trackday me thinks.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

What bike you got SDMF?

What's this about Thames Valley Factory? Is it the Thames Valley *something* Factory?

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

Sausage.

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

*titter*

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

he has a bandit 12 by the way, plenty fine for going round a track!! Its not a harley is it!

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

If by track your referring to a dragstrip.......

It's brilliant fun in a straight line, but get to the twisty stuff and it's not really that confidence inspiring compared to my old SV:rolleyes:

Re: TVSF Rockingham Trackday 16/06/08
 

So I may have a chance keeping up with you in the twisties now then James?! :-)

You thinking of changing the Bandit?
