Mad Matt's Long Long Long Road to BSB Glory

The best and most accurate time to measure the pressures are straight after you come in after ya a session on a TD.



Racing then you have no option but to go with measurements after 45 mins min in the warmers.

 

Or measure when you come in, adjust, bang on warmer and leave well alone

 

Next question

What sort of questions will be asked on the ACU licence test? Is it multiple choice and what do we need for revision??

 

Mad Matt's Road to BSB Glory

It's a piece of piss. What different colour flags mean, start procedures and erm.....not a lot else.

You get taught everything on the day. If you can't pass it then you are officially mince!

 

Mate don't get all worked up about it like o did the answers are told before you answer its a piece of piss to be honest just common sense

 

I'd be more concerned with the Eye Test with you not being able to see Shit!

 

and concerned about missing your call to the holding area,it's not like a trackday where you can sneak into the next race

 

Eye test done and past Fookin thing took 45mins, not like the old days when you just read a few letters from a board...

 

The technical director will take care of that

 

Your right about about the old days ,Ken took his test with an old biffer walking in front of him with a white flag.

 

Now Ken is an old biffer with a white stick . That's progress for you

 

Theres nothing like having brand shinny new tyres fitted

Attempted to get the RR's but no one around here had them or could get them..

Last two jobs for now and the bike is complete, lock wiring and suspension...

 

Slight hitch with progress, after chatting to Jase today and doing a little research i now know that my suspension is all wrong, wrong linkage and wrong springs. There for someone much much heavier than myself ..

Should have made sure the suspension was the first thing on my list of things to do, oh bollocks....







P.s, i can hear scooby somewhere saying, "told ya so"...

 

He's not the only one!

 

And u went all that way to mss !,,!

 

I did and they asked if i wanted them to set the suspension up and i said no

 

Bike is booked in at Kais for Thursday at 2pm for them to look at

 

what,you can hear me all the way from over there?

 

daft question, but why you say no? didn't they build it to your spec anyway?

 

if it was me though Matt,as good as kais are,theres no substitute for being on the track and getting set up there,then you and (james@IFM for example) can make changes,go out and see the effects there and then,plus as time goes on and you get faster,you'll want to make alterations,and it's far easier to do when the suspension guy is there,also explaining why/what each thing or change does.plus pay once and he will look after you for as long as you need him too.
