Where's seiko in the pecking order?Strika wrote:Wattie wrote:i must ask, who has ridden with both??
Marty?? Phil??
Yeah mate, ridden with both. Jonno is confident and capable. Russ needs all 13,000 or his RPMs to keep up with the Rex, but is fast and would imagine now he has been racing, would be even faster. But I would rate them like this in terms of outright speed on the road.
Wattie
Russ
Jonno
Mind you, the top two ride ZX10's and Jonno punts a slightly heavier, slightly slower steering 12 almost as quick.
Facts are though, put Phil on one and we wouldn't see which way he went!!!!![]()

Re: Ten riders
Didnt realize this went from a fun slanging Match to a riding comp
Isn't road ridinganr track riding a little different????
I ride totally within myself on the road as I would say with most fast riders I have ridden with.
Oh and no to Marty . I'd be lucky to get over 10k rpm when we rode.
Oh and seiko I have only ever been on the road acco and tha was in the burbs almost 3 years ago.
Anyways I am still waiting for seiko's challenge to come to fruition. Him 2 up on the hyper barge vs me.

10K
Try picking up a higher gear on the next GP/SBK trip we do and see how much difference it will make to your turn speed. Last time we rode together you were a complete throttle jockey.
BTW, it's no competition, it's just stating the facts. Just like saying Doohan is faster than you. That's because he is, not because we are having a competition!!!
As for Seiko, last ride I went on with him, he had not yet had the S.A. roads experience, so was proabably not at his sharpest. But I do know his wife was quicker through the Black and the Reefton than he was!!!!!

Re: Ten riders
Oh dear me, my dicks bigger than yours but smaller than strika.
I have never thought I was faster than anyone mentioned, mainly as I havnt ridden track or had many supersonic riders to follow other than Hammer and Strika who both are ex racers and were good enough to give tips and slow down so I could keep close and learn, in the last year Hammer and myself have done quite a bit of riding in Qld, thanks guys.
There are plenty of fast riders about and some who shouldn't be going that fast, I prefer to stay in reach of my capabilities instead of ego dictating, these days its all about corner speed, smoothness, and basically enjoyment overall which is what it is all about.
I can tell you that the 10 has improved my level of capability quite a bit as in its design to do so, I notice how more I push the 12r now. I am also finally having a go on the track this year on a 6r now I am now obviously financial.
I was scared of the track, why? Because I will get addicted to it, well I am already and the bike hasn't arrived and havnt set foot on a circuit yet.

Re: Ten riders
I'd still ride like a nanna even if the speed limits didn't apply. Lack of experiance going fast.

It's the little one's at home thing, right Dutchy?
This thread just proves the point that we all say "you should ride within your capablities"
but in reality, everyone here I have ridden with goes flat out despite what is said at the beginning of each ride.
You are all setting a very bad example for the younger generation of riders who are learning from your bad example!

was it because the front suspension adjustments were wrong?
