    Dear UA-cam. I don’t ride motorcycles, I’ve never ridden a motorcycle, and will never have anywhere near that amount of money. Your recommendations suck.

    I feel ya! Had a run off at T1 last month at the AHRMA race and thought that it was something I could ride out in the grass. My front wheel dug in right away and tossed me over - now I've got a broken collar bone and a (formerly) freshly rebuilt race motor full of sand.
    That said, Roebling is one of my favorite tracks that we race because it's so flowing.

    Very cool video and brings back lots of memories from my youth. I'm an old retired Aerospace Engineer now but I grew up on two wheelers in the 60's/70's and raced Enduro's and a little flat track and competed in Trials events (my true love as a kid) and when I was a teenager I earned an AMA Expert license for 125cc motocross (ranked as high as 5th in the state) in the state of Florida in '74 in 10th/11th grade. In my Sr. year I had hung up my racing boots and was preparing for Engineering College when my Dealer sponsor (Island Yamaha in Merritt Island Fl.) asked me if I'd like to take a weekend trip to Homestead raceway to run some test laps on a new TZ350 (B). I had never even ridden a street bike at that point, but I jumped at the chance and of the three riders they let run laps I had the fastest laps. They then told me and my Dad that they were considering running some of the amateur prelim races at Daytona in '75 and asked if I would like to go? I obviously said yes but only on the condition that my motocross racing mechanic/tuner (my Dad the Rocket Engineer out at Cape Canaveral) could also go fully sponsored. I ended up getting a 5th place and then a podium 3rd place finish in two of the amatuer prelim races in 350cc class and earned my Expert/Pro 250cc/350cc license right there in bike week, which then made us eligible for the 200. We had a very small effort, just a pickup truck and a white ford van and weren't really equipped to run 200 miles but the Dealer's owner and my Dad talked about it and it was agreed we would race. So I got to race in the '75 daytona 200. i got lapped several times by the winner, a certain #1 plated yellow TZ750 ridden by you know who (King Kenny). We had brake and 6th gear problems and spent way too much time in the pits but i did finish, we were 35th out of 72 starts so not horrible. I ran about 1/3 of the '75 road race season after that, pretty much everything in the southeast with one race out west at Laguana Seca. My best pro finish was 9th a Road Atlanta. it was hard to compete against the 500's and 750's in the open pro class on a TZ350 but by the end of the year we had it bored to 400cc and my dad had bigger mikuni carbs with some motocross learned port work and I only weighed 135 lbs so we were getting more competitive. we talked many times about me getting sniffs from some of the bigger pro teams but as much as i loved riding scooters at speed and the competitive spirit of racing I had been accepted at Georgia Tech College of Engineering so I was really ready to move on. and P.S. our tire changes were not nearly as fast...lol

    my dad owned a 2020 model year v4R, I rode it once. now I consider myself a very good rider, obviously not a pro but I have been riding on dirt and tarmac since 5. I took that bike out and it was a humbling experience. it is a weapon, and definitely too much to enjoy on the street in any traffic. I do miss it but really i have just as much fun on my triumph, despite the hundred-horsepower difference

  • @jacquescrusan9500
    @jacquescrusan9500 Рік тому +1

    RRR is arguably one of the best places to do something like this. It's also one of the best tracks to begin your track-riding career on. No steep elevation changes, only one blind corner, long sweeping turns (which give you an eternity to figure out what's underneath you, and whether or not it's working) plus it's a relatively short track so lap times aren't all that long.
    Warhorse absolutely knew what they were doing testing here. A place like RRR is almost perfect testing site for figuring out a solid baseline. It's also a perfect testing site for riders themselves. You have the best opportunity to take an honest skill assessment in the moment, and be able to recognize progress or mistakes as they happen, and still have enough time and room to correct them. Easily one of the lowest-stress track environments I've ever been to.

    i know this is not very popular opinion but i've believed for years that those costs for street legal bikes are stupid, and even more on none world championships. for me SBK should've turned into superstocks since a long time. this is crazy that such low gains on track and difference between stock bike and sbk cost this much. i don't think this helps the discipline at all, as it's motoamerica or WSBK or BSB.
