Fellow Nortoneers,

I just found this on another forum tonight....pretty cool perspective with a "gyro" webcam that compensates for radical leans into turns. BTW, I wonder if this is the kind of Jap bike Hobot "eats up" on his weekend thrillers....sorry, Steve, couldn't resist!! :lol:

P.S.>>> y'all might have to "copy and paste" into your browser as I'm not experienced at embedding vids....

Oh my oh my cmessenk I almost skipped this as just another regular video but Nope its one of the most informative to me in a while and so longed for to see if the current crop of corner cripples had gotten their act together, but Nope.

Best camera mounting I've ever seen to convey what's going on. Must be on a stalk on a gimble.

That flashy Green thing is fighting him to come back up, watch the twiter in the forks which i assume couldn't even be handled w/o a decent steering damper, the damn dangerous thing.

He's not trusting hook up traction enough to blast into turns, pashaw he's down shifting to slow up into turns for a good blast after apex, where Peel is downshifting too but for best acceleration before the leaning even begins.

Everytime he really wants to pour it on, like a good ways past apex, [because its fighting him to get back up fast], the poor thing can't take the G's w/o lifting front so stifles the pull.

He did get some instants of tire howl and a few chirps which I give him points for on such an unstable balloon tire craft.

I ain't a racer but by golly these above little issues is all its takes when going all out. Don't know how fast Peel will pull to in the long straights and don't know how long skinny tires can take the heat, but thanks for a delicious treat of new bait fish to snap up. Go look up this model's 1/4 ET, if it can't break under 10 sec it won't be enough to make up the slack when leaning.

II luv this forum just to read Steve's posts :D
 
Thanks NortiBuell, will try to stay intact to show world what a full linked Cdo can do on skinny tires and too much Torque!

I hate drifts as too damn easy to get into crossed up flying wide when all the action is to get traction to turn in sharper faster accelerating, not wasting tire and traction. Peel should be able Break the slide up into a few short straights of harsh aceleration so if we was neck and neck by point of first lean Peel would be wheeling away from him by time he realized the shortest fastest tract path was a lot closer inward than way out there....

Hope to get a camera to show the crazy Graveling drifts - that take me break away wondering if will stop sliding in time...
 
Yeah man Johnny, there are scads of lazy wide drifters video online but harder to find examples of staying on rear spin power while straight steering way tighter faster higher G force turns. If ya have a rider that wants to improve his game on technical courses and don't mind paying the price - come on out to N.W. Arkansas, we'll have ourselves a bloody blast.

Here's how I reflexly did Trixie when she went down on L knee then R arm w/o intending to that's for sure.

So show us the example videos "of staying on rear spin power while straight steering way tighter faster higher G force turns".

Duh Dude that's the whole purpose of Ms Peel and working on camera mounts and arranging video methods to show it off to the world. Last time I did what is seen in the ice spike speedway racer photo was couple weeks ago on cargo loaded Trixie to take the impact injury loads off L knee then R knee and elbow - purely by reflex straight steering action faster than I could think. I am so bold to speak about what I've found because it ain't speculation John, just beyond what any road going super bikes and pilots are capable of. If the ice racers counter steered at this max out leans on tire spin power they'd just stay low sided and sliding into the barriers just like the elites do in surprises that injure and kill elite pilots. Go parking lot speed and try to counter steer and feel the hi side forced induced at 10 mph, now imagine that hi side force magnified many times at upper rpm ranges in lower gears for idea of how much rear patch pressure loading Peel can apply that stimmies the rear breaking loose until i want it too by even more insane torque power. To go faster through turns like this I need big block blown power. No other bike in the world can use dragster wheelie power to go faster and sharper around turns, they can only tap their power after apexes while straightening up or just giving up in turns and skiing wide for fun or saving their corner cripple crashing. Peel's frame rails are lifted two inches for two reasons, one to pitch over into such severe ravines she hi centers on the lips and to lean over farther to sharpen up decreasing radii w/o pogo-ing off pegs.
 
Can't get enough of this crazy riding IOM. The bike and riders improving. Look as 3:50 for modern example of phase 3 handling, ie: finishing turns as a unicycle. But the wiggle wobbles on rear still causing problems approaching them loads.
