Funny how it doesn't seem to take that long when you're riding over
it.

That RS4 was a bit quick though.

 

Looks like fun - you lucky bastard. Question though, why do you blip
when changing down at low speed, but not when going fast?

Cos at speed I use engine braking rather than brakes to set the bike up.

At lower speeds it too jerky to do so.

Jesus, that exhaust sounds like the automotive equivalent of nails down
a blackboard.

 

Couldn't see it clearly, but assuming it's not one of the new ones,
then 420bhp. Pretty impressive, from a normally-aspirated 4.2l V8.

The new ones are slightly lower, being a 3 litre turbo V6, with
something like 350bhp, IIRC.

 

It must be tweaked, as it backfired on every gear change (or is that
normal)??

There appears to be a square smudge right over the speedo.

 

Could have just been clutchless shifts that were dumping a load of
fuel into the exhaust.

After all, he was trying to stay ahead of the nasty biker.

 

On the bits where he was in the speed restricted sections? Can't
imagine why

And that coned off bit is going a lot further down into Ramsey than it
was last year.

 

Why so slow

Only joking.

You could use a lot more of the road at the Mountain box and 32nd and
33rd. Also, the line people usually describe at the Veranda has you
tucking it right under the wall on the 4th apex.

I had a couple of great runs yesterday morning, but am sat here
looking at the rain now.

 

Fucking awful weather, its not getting any better for Tomorrow either

Gimme a shout when your out and Ill follow you round - show me where im
going wrong.

I hear they're not going to let the electric bikes out if it's raining. :-(

Well, they don't really let *any* bikes race in the rain nowadays.
Usually it's because rain means cloud, and the cloud is usually low
enough to prevent the air-med helicopters flying. But, I suspect that
even if the cloud was high enough, the organisers would be very
reluctant to run a race under full wet conditions.

So, it's nothing to do with the bikes being electric.

 

Actually, I had a great run round in the early evening on Saturday,
and it looks great at the moment (Sunday morning)

Heh - I'm happy to meet up (tho not sure how we'd organise it), but
there's nothing *wrong* about what you were doing. It's just that
there's more road to be used when it's one way.

 

Weather stayed really nice today - got three laps in and thats enough.
Its just sooooo busy.

There was what looked like a massive off at Quarry bends, bits of bike
everywhere - it looked nasty, including a GSXR that had been snapped in
half.

Rear tyre looks like its come off a track - good enough

Eh? The new RS4 (B7) has the 4.2L V8 with 414BHP...
The old one (B5) has the 2.7L biturbo...

 

Do Doctors dream of electric motorcycles?

 

By my definition, the B7 _is_ the old one, as the whole A4 range was
revamped last year as the B8 range. The B5 is the ancient model.

The new shape S4 has gone from the V8 to the V6 (which apparently os
only 333PS, not the 350 I thought) and AAUI the new RS4 will follow
suit.

Although it seems that the B8 RS4 is not actually being built yet, so
the whole thing may be something of a moot point.
