Your videos are becoming another level! Was good to meet you (I was the White bald English guy with the polish boys) shame my gearbox gave up. Like you was just getting confident on day 2 after a crash. Just means I need to go back. Keep these vids up!
I remember you very much mate, I mentioned you in part 1 also also featured you in part 2 I think in the lunch break section with music You were right opposite me in the garage I remember you so well and Manish I was gutted for you mate Hope you get the bike sorted and come out again and fly Good to see you Thanks for watching And I’ll you with the lads again
Thank you mate I was well chuffed with that last session I just wished I had full power for 3 days and not just for 4 sessions , I had a lot more in me But all in all a fantastic event Gremlins are now gone Andalusia was epic after this
Wow that was epic series and I’m sure all of us can’t wait to see another 4 episodes well done mate….. everything you going through on the track (been slow because this and that )ect…is happening to all of us …. But hey keep up with your work.. well done Mate…💪💪💪💪👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✊✊✊✊✊✊
Thank you mate, much appreciate your support… just trying to show the reality of riding sometimes It’s not all happy sailings Sometimes we swim against the current and everything just gets smoother from there on Thanks for watching the series and commenting
Thanks very much , it’s a time I was quite proud of that day I really wish we had another session or two left in the day I felt I had a bit more in me Great event all in all Thank you for watching
Thanks Kenny , much much appreciated Glad you understand the root cause of the issue Many talk about the physical aspect of post crash riding but not mental :)
If only there was a way to give two thumps up 😊 Always so much relevant to say. And always so humble, even though you played a little trumpet in the end 😂 good job 👍
Hahaha.. I thought let’s do a little trumpet so it gets people “mildly hyped up” for the next series But honestly , at Andalusia I was totally in the zone , zero bike issues It was just brilliant Let’s hope I can make that into an interesting series .. thanks for the kind words for this video and this series Honestly support like this means a lot to me It’s priceless
Abhi with his mojo back.....man on fire!!! Great to see you smiling and laughing again pal, how bikes should make you feel 😁🏍️👍🏻 great video and content, appreciated and enjoyed as always mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Gareth It was all about that mojo And as you can tell I finally picked up the camera on track on late afternoon of third day And felt the positivity all around me
First things first, happy new year! I am glad to see your 2024 is starting on the right foot, so to speak. Love the content, the onboard footage was very exciting. Reminded me of the onboard footage of Steve McQueens LeMan movie. Fantastic stuff. I wanted to mention that riding motorcycles can be very taxing mentally if you are pushing limits. It is very interesting as one can swing from highs to lows quickly and one must push him/herself mentally to correct the issue. It is an aspect of riding that is seldom talked about and I find very interesting. It´s as if the sport or the motorcycle itself is testing or challenging you to stay on top mentally speaking. In any event, I´m glad to see you are back on top and look forward to more of your content. Cheers!
Wow, this is probably the most beautifully worded comment I’ve had in this series You really understood the issues one can have after a crash from mental perspective I have never highlighted this issue in my videos ever in 4 years but I thought It’s winter and many might have had a crash over the winter and we beat ourselves up mentally a lot but if we ask for help from the right people and put those learnings to practice , then things are much much smoother and there’s a plan of action in place
@@ChasingTenths Exactly. It is another dimension to motorcycles that many do not understand. It is just another reason to love motorcycles. The discipline, and it is a discipline, puts you under tension in all manner of ways not to weaken you, just the opposite, but to push your limits. It´s really wonderful when you think about it but it does require a bit of suffering followed by perseverance where finally true growth is accomplished. Now get back on that horse and fight. Cheers.
Great video as usual. I think it’s nice you have shown the other bits such as euro loading, what ms in the town and surrounding areas etc. highlight of the video is Gazu Pizdo suit carrier😂😂😂
Hahahaha !! I like to make Kam happy lol … he’s Mr Gazu Pizdo Thanks for watching the full series mate Means a lot And you commented too Hopefully the Andalusia will be even better
Really good to know you could focus on your demons and defeat them. Often, all these extra distractions seem nice to chase (vlogging in this instance), but really, you're there to chase skills, have fun and grow as a human. Pls don't apologise for not recording etc. It doesn't matter. What matters more is you won :) Also, wtf@exhaust valve damn
Hahaha , love this comment Thank you very much This made me laugh and actually a very apt comment It was all about managing issues , managing self expectations, self development and really putting mind to the things which matter .. listening to the people who know and putting things to practice.. and yes , that damn exhaust Valve but it’s all sorted now :) Thanks for watching so attentively
Thanks Tim .. you are the man Can’t thank you more mate You really pushed and pulled to get that amazing laptime for my standards and i just felt so complete and so happy .. huge thank You
I second what you said about the Metzler, I've been running them for the last year and a bit, at 25psi hot they have grip all day, and when you push at it goes up to 26> psi the rear can skate around a quite bit the tyres are pretty predictable though. They are (were) good for the price point but are getting expensive now so I might switch to dunlops which seems pretty good for the money As always love the videos ! Keep it up mate
Absolutely spot on that … what I am now doing is reducing the pressure to 22 psi of the metzeler TD when it’s very hot and when I am on very good pace , that helps it slide less But it’s a great tyre for the price point and lasts so so long Thank you for the appreciation and watching the video :)
@@ChasingTenths nice one ! Thanks I'll try that too starting with the lower psi, All good mate I always hangout for your uploads because they are quality Congrats on the 2:08 , seeing you happy put a smile on my face , you deserve it, I know the feeling Go hard mate !
@@richbonesjones4729 aahh ok, I understand… I find day 1 really tough at any new track Then things get totally different for me… Like I hated Andalusia on day 1 And I thought what a mess this is , in layout terms but then I loved it ..
I never thought I would hear curry and Houston in one sentence lol .. well , it’s definitely tempting .. I will definitely do that I love that track so much The left right first section is like maggots & beckets at Silverstone or the senna S at Suzuka .. I promise I will And I love a beer too So that’s a plan which will come to fruition one day that’s for sure
I agree the new rsv4’s have a lot more power but I notice your gearing might be too short. You’re topping out at the end of the straight at 276km/h. I think it might be beneficial to either lengthen your gearing a tooth or 2(or try stock gearing again) or maybe try a taller tire in the rear. I see some bikes hitting 300kmh at Aragon. I have a 12’ rsv4 and had played around with a bit of gearing but I found that it lost a lot of significant top end. I ended up settling with a stock rear and 15t front. Every track is different though but just a suggestion and a cheap/quick swap between sessions. 👍
You are 2000 percent correct there When I was on my way back , on the plane I watched the onboard footage a lot and I immediately felt that gearing was just wrong The problem is , I didn’t have full pose for 2 days , then when I got the power back , we had only 5 sessions left in the day and one was red flagged so I did have a 42 tooth sprocket in the rear as a spare , I am running a 43 now But I just didn’t bother changing it I just wanted to get on with it Well spotted The bike definitely had a bit more juice
Great job! Nice to see your hard work pay off with faster lap times. I have a question: as you come out of turn 16 (headed to the start/finish line) the bike seems unsettled as you accelerate. There is a noticeable head shake happening on each lap - sometimes more, sometimes a little less. What’s going on there?
Excellent question, I was waiting for someone to ask that So two things here Firstly my steering damper setting was on very soft side than stiff But also just before the start finish line , there’s a slight hump , very very slight , it makes the front light and with the wind blowing it makes the front lighter … I stiffen the damper at the Andalusia circuit 3 weeks later and the shake was negligible.. but it’s mainly due to the crest making the front light .. Brilliant question Thank you for asking and noticing
Yo my hermano i have questions i know that u have the Domino fast throtle kit i want to know if this kit is easy to use when u push with that is it possible to push a lil bit or is it all or nothing ? Plus there is 3 rings the white is for to go quicker then the red is soft N the green is slow is it that? i think i'm about to buy this kit for my gsx S 1000 2021 what do u think? With love from Paris by the way Aragon is dope few years ago i was at the Ipone days 2019 at this Track it was so dope i did wheeling on a KTM1290R K17 crazy shit
Quick action throttles dont make it difficult or snappy, they just mean you dont have to twist your arm so far! They make riding the bike easier! Take a look at accossato quick action throttles, much better made thatln domino

Go hard mate !
Great stuff dude and what a last session!!
I really gotta get myself to Aragon, hopefully Oct.
Mate, it’s an absolutely brilliant track ..
I reckon you’ll easily do a 2 min 8 there too with no sweat
Epic track honestly
@@ChasingTenths I doubt I would go that quick on the 1st visit, takes me a while to get upto speed on a new track
@@richbonesjones4729 aahh ok, I understand… I find day 1 really tough at any new track
Then things get totally different for me…
Like I hated Andalusia on day 1
And I thought what a mess this is , in layout terms but then I loved it ..
Great show, Abhi my fine friend!
Be nice to see you at COTA - stop over here at my home for a beer and a curry in Houston!
I never thought I would hear curry and Houston in one sentence lol .. well , it’s definitely tempting ..
I will definitely do that
I love that track so much
The left right first section is like maggots & beckets at Silverstone or the senna S at Suzuka .. I promise I will
And I love a beer too
So that’s a plan which will come to fruition one day that’s for sure
@ChasingTenths Sounds good to me brother! My home is your home. The English room awaits!
@@World-Superbike thank you so much , I remember you very well 🤗
I agree the new rsv4’s have a lot more power but I notice your gearing might be too short. You’re topping out at the end of the straight at 276km/h.

You are 2000 percent correct there
When I was on my way back , on the plane I watched the onboard footage a lot and I immediately felt that gearing was just wrong
The problem is , I didn’t have full pose for 2 days , then when I got the power back , we had only 5 sessions left in the day and one was red flagged so I did have a 42 tooth sprocket in the rear as a spare , I am running a 43 now
But I just didn’t bother changing it
I just wanted to get on with it
Well spotted
The bike definitely had a bit more juice
Great job! Nice to see your hard work pay off with faster lap times. I have a question: as you come out of turn 16 (headed to the start/finish line) the bike seems unsettled as you accelerate. There is a noticeable head shake happening on each lap - sometimes more, sometimes a little less. What’s going on there?
Excellent question, I was waiting for someone to ask that
So two things here
Firstly my steering damper setting was on very soft side than stiff
But also just before the start finish line , there’s a slight hump , very very slight , it makes the front light and with the wind blowing it makes the front lighter … I stiffen the damper at the Andalusia circuit 3 weeks later and the shake was negligible.. but it’s mainly due to the crest making the front light ..
Brilliant question
Thank you for asking and noticing
Im sorry if I missed it, what continentals are you using and at what preassures?
It was continental contiTrac medium compound, 23 hot psi rear
Yo my hermano i have questions i know that u have the Domino fast throtle kit i want to know if this kit is easy to use when u push with that is it possible to push a lil bit or is it all or nothing ?
Plus there is 3 rings the white is for to go quicker then the red is soft N the green is slow is it that?
i think i'm about to buy this kit for my gsx S 1000 2021 what do u think?
