eastern creek lap video

There's a video in wmv format of a sub 1:50 lap of EC at their website.
Steve Brouggy is the rider, and it was taken earlier this year.

It's his turn 10 into turn 11 that impressed me, I've done it a hundred
times and managed to find a new and unique way to **** it up each time.

And you can get it on DVD, with commentary by Steve, along with YOUR filmed lap. Booking a session at my next Superbikeschool event.

Ninety Nine bucks is a bargain for those embarassing shots of flapping arms.... just ask Steve

You're a cruel man, alxxr

Having said that, it's amazing how many riders have said
a) it's a bargain
b) it would be a superb method of studying their riding and
c) they don't want to do it.

I'm one of those riders - I know I'm crap, I don't need proof

I'd do it if I could get the footage on my own track bike. There's
not a lot to be learned from watching myself putt around on an
unfamiliar bike that I'm scared of crashing.

 

How is the camera mounted ? Am I correct in guessing that it's a
gearsack rack with a camera mounted on the top of the arch or similar
?

What bike is it they do the camera shot off btw ?

No, they have a carbon-fibre-over-balsawood (IIRC) arm about 3 feet
long extending up from where the pillion seat would be (off the top of
the mounting bolts for the numberplate/indicators tree, I assume).
Designed to not fall off in normal use, but collapse if it hits
someone in a crash, Manning was saying at the bike show.

Triumph TT600, chosen for its neutral handling blah blah. A little
different to wrestling my GSXR1000 around. But the main thing is
that I wouldn't be used to the bike or riding at the same intensity,
so posture issues or similar would be hard to pin down.. Anyway, I
can look at the free trackday picture sites and see if I'm doing
anything weird in the middle of the turn. I'm sure there would be a
few things to learn from the camera bike, but $99 is two rear tyres
for me, or tyres+fuel for 2 full trackdays.

I was quoting Steve Brouggy, but thats the gist of it. At the base is a
rubber panel, below which is a microphone aimed directly at the pipe, hence
the remarkably good sound quality. Steve has no plans to manufacture the
camera arm, but I think it won't be too long before someone cracks on to the
idea.

A good choice when you get them for free...

I'm sure they're a great bike, and at the SB School the instructors
seem to get around ok on them, but a very different beasty to the
GSXR.
