I'm sure you're all with me when I say, "it's about time we added this forum to our site." The amount of knowledge I have to share is simply immense, as you all know. Additionally, I invite all of you to please post any questions you may have and I'll do my best to answer them. Who am I kidding, of course I'll be able to answer any question you may pose. That's all for now. Remember to thank God, when you say your prayers tonight, for the access you have to me and my boundless knowledge.

As soon as I opened this post, I felt the extreme urge to fall to my knees, which I promtly did. Begging wouldn't be enough so I will resort to groveling and self-immoliation in honor of the magnitude that is the all encompasing you.
Have mercy on us all.

12xCHAMP&COUNTING · 2007-03-02 9:33 PM

Most of them are on loan to the Smithsonian.

Skrawny · 2007-03-02 10:30 PM

What's a line?

Wood · 2007-03-03 10:19 PM

the fast way round, sheesh, the new guys...........

I have a question for the champ! Sometimes in my fast adventures on the street my bike seems to find what they call a false nuetral, if this were to happen on the track is it anything to worry about and is there anything I should do if it happens? ( Please join the I love to crash in turn one club this year)

12xCHAMP&COUNTING · 2007-03-05 10:16 PM

That, my friend, is an outstanding question. Should you worry about it? You can if you are a world-class nancy-boy.

Now, what to do if this does indeed occur. If you find yourself hitting a false neutral on a straight away, no worries. If it happens as you're diving into, let's say, turn 7 at Blackhawk for example and you don't have time to get it back into gear. I'd suggest pitching it over while shifting as much weight as possible to the front tire. This will almost certainly ensure a quick low-side.

Best answer ever?? Perhaps.

Unfortunately I don't think I can join your club, but I appreciate your offer. Maybe next year.

Skrawny · 2007-03-05 10:17 PM

i say just jam it back down a gear

Rand McNally · 2007-03-06 7:36 AM

Excellent response I agree. I will include this in my track day notes so I don't for get it. Skrwany that is just a little to aggressive for me I think. Sounds like a wild ride though.

throttle would unload the front tire lessening the chance of a low side, but increasing the chances of this.

but i think the way better route is to jam it back down into gear and grab a handle of brakes resulting in this.

Turd Furgesson · 2007-03-06 5:21 PM

I don't see a problem with either of those scenarios. I could have saved both and yawned while doing it.

Skrawny, you don't think at the point these photos were taken that these could be saved? It would be easy. The Champ wouldn't give it a second thought. He is probably looking down at us and laughing about it.

Rand McNally · 2007-03-06 7:31 PM

I seen the champ pull it off once and it was his Rookie outing. The guy is good!

12xCHAMP&COUNTING · 2007-03-06 8:14 PM

I believe Wood has also witnessed my uncanny ability to misjudge the traction available and attempt to do a little pine tree slalom. It's really an innate skill. Not sure I'd be able to effectively pass it on to ya'll. Don't hate.

Wood · 2007-03-06 9:39 PM

in response to the first question, stick yer knee into the pavement as hard as possible and just lean the bitch over......... save it with yer knee mate, just ask Mighty Mick.

and in regard to the tree slalom event, that had HUGE cool factor, but not sure I want learn that skill or join the turn one club....... sorry guys......I'm not worthy

Skrawny · 2007-03-06 10:07 PM

i thought the second one was the champ?? number 81 in the early years?? the third rider in question was me showing the map master how to properly brake for the "false" neutral happenings.
as you can see the champ number 81 is just giving the best possible visual on how to propely back your bike into the corner and keep your rear tire from flat spotting.
