Title: snetterton pics
Post by: andy230 on May 11, 2007, 12:18:23 PM
From the offical photographer's site:

It would appear I was just about the only in that race...!  The ones where I'm getting lapped llo good...

A few good uns tho.  Interesting footnote- only in the later pics do I actually get onto the balls of my feet.  A lot of the sunday race (dry) I was on the instep- cardinal sin!  The Monday race in the wet was starting to get a bit better.

I need to re-design that fairing lower, and especially get the back to sit a bit higher- side-on shots show how it tilts "back".

A useful thing, seeing yourself!!  Really makes you notice a lot of things you wouldn't otherwise.

cheers

I have found video of myself swimming and playing cricket (both in the past sob) to be really useful, whilst I have a pretty good idea of what my body is doing - just seeing it really helps and thus helps make changes for the better.

Just looked - yup the fairing does look a little tail down - but the whole plot looks a little on its heels - mind it may be under acceleration - what is the rear sag with you on board compared to the total wheel travel?

I know racing is scary, but you produce logs? and you keep them?

Is it like Kirks ? A Captains Log ?
Or is it kept in a Nappy Sack ?
