:rory in various threads ...

But :bow :bow love your work, Andy. I bought my 04 smashed and brought her back to life... funny though, she was never that fast. :dunno :crash :hammer:

 

That is simply insane.....I'm in awe of that.

At the same time, why wouldn't he be faster on an S1000R?

 

He might be faster on the s1000, but he's not on it. And holds the record. So it seems to be good enough :lol

 

I like your reasoning haha. I'm sure he'd be killer on anything once he got it set up the way he likes, mans got skills. :fact

With minimal mods it's a testament to the 5VY's motor and chassis out the box.

Once you read this Andy, just wondering what changes you've made to the geometry?

 

standard motor, bst wheels, nitron shock and fork internals, and pc3 with evo exhaust. That's it.

 

Thats awesome to hear.

 

i know he has shed a lot of weight off the bike.

 

Awesome!

 

I wouldn't say upgrading is a waste of time until we see what he can do on a newer bike

 

Be interesting to see Andy on a planker with equivalent mods. Put the rivalry to bed for good! :riding

 

 

Who, me?

:lol

 

Good work Andy, lol at the above comments!

 

:bow Much respect, excellent riding and the fact it's on a 5VY is the best part!

 

Just, WOW!

 

That was frighteningly fast! I am not sure about the cars + bikes on the track at the same time, but for the most part it looked like everyone got out of the way. There is not much forgiveness on that track, at least that is the way it looked to me. A lot of hard immovable objects... Kind of reminds me of Isle of Man bravery (insanity?).

 

Ive driven the ring a time or 2 and people will get over for you no problem.

 

Goes to show you it's 75% rider, 25% bike.

:bow Andy

 

guy has skills no matter what bike he rides

 

I don't even... what...

SO MUCH INSTABILITY, HOW DOES HE DO IT?
Speed wobbles, on THAT track, at THOSE speeds...!
O.O

 

That guy clanks when he walks
