Awesome riding man. I tried out on some track days and ended up low to high siding in a double apex. Don't ever ride with a migraine was the lesson. Stay safe rubber side down. Proud of what you're doing in Canada. Keep up the good work.
@Marcel This is scary to watch much less participate in! Its a wonderful testimony to Canadian courage and stamina; thanks for applying that now to defending your countrymen and encouraging ones like me, from usa (not to mention entertaining). Cant wait to share this around! : )
I've been watching your channel since the convoy started, you have a lot of talent, such a shame to lose two years of racing career because of government over reach...
yeah, totally unexpected. I dedicated my life from 2009 to end of 2019 to becoming one of the best superbike racers in North America, and the best teacher... only to have a back injury that nearly killed me that started in December, and then wasn't able to get medical help as bullshit-19 shut down all avenues of recovery..
@@irnieracing I found that throughout the pandemic, New York safety track was some how open and besides hiking that’s all I have done for fun in the last few years. Hope to see you there and I hope to see you racing at a high level in the future. I would love to get some coaching from you. Also, thank you for fighting for freedom, we here in America and as well as the world are watching.
Are you familiar with a old bike racer from Alberta by the name Steve Dick because back in the mid seventies July first long weekend we were skiing Parker Ridge along the Banff Jasper highway and he gave me a ride that I’ll never forget along the huge down hill curve after the Columbia Ice Fields. I dared not make any sudden moves when we were leaning in that monster curve. What a rush. By the way a huge thank to you and all you brave truckers your making history Gods Speed.🇨🇦
@@arnaudduroyaume9705 < I understand & know I'm with you guys in spirit! We too have a battle going on here in the US! And I hope our trucker convoy that starts Wednesday will bring out millions? We'll have to wait and see! We stand with you though and I believe as much as I hate to say this with what's going on all around the world that it appears to me there is going to be some kind of civil world war coming somewhere down the road! And as everybody knows we are the most armed Nation of any Nation! God help us all! United we stand 🇺🇲🇨🇦
@@vernpierce8836 Right. But nothing New in fact. This is the eternal war between God and evil....and we are inside this spiritual battle....the front line is in our hearts. U are from USA or Canada ? Btw i m not in Ottawa..i follow all online. My personnal fight takes place in Paris...i m French .🇨🇵
So for rain racing we (racers) usually soften the suspension. Big teams would have a rain bike already setup with softer springs, computer electronics - traction control, engine braking, etc, for rain racing. We ride slower and smoother in the rain trying to keep the tire glued to the wet pavement to maximize control and prevent disaster. Without a team to change rear shock spring and fork springs, I usually remove a couple clicks of compression and rebound to make the bike more compliant and "stay" with the road undulations. I also remove some preload from the fork and shock springs. Now as I was racing, I was picking up my pace lap by lap, and was getting confident with hard braking in a straight line. I started to brake almost as hard as I do in the dry, and thus in that instance I bottomed the front forks on the brakes as the front went over braking bumps. As soon as the fork bottoms, the tire lets go, and down I went. Now if I had not removed the preload, or maybe just one less front compression, I might have raced to the finish.
Hope to see you racing again some time. Sorry to say, but the situation we have all over the world is just reality and no sense to fight it. I regret this affected your career and life.

Glad you enjoyed it. .Thank you for the kind words and inspiration to keep moving forward.
I was at that race amazing in the rain
Man that is a gnarly track to race in the rain, and that straight is huge!
This man feels the need... The need for speeeeeed!

New experience is a sign of spiritual grows. 😊👍💞🍁

The glown shows is in place in Ottawa .
Can you believe that? Did you see those big draft horses the cops were riding against the people? Horrendous and shameful.
I'll bet my daughter was there, we just didn't know about you then. Her and her hubby go every year to these and formula 1.
You must really know your bike as well as course track. Racing in the rain. That's just crazy. Lol
Trudolf the redcoat traitor 🎶🎶👀
HORSES TRAMPLAING Women in the streets of OTTOWA !!!! Total MADNESS , May the WORLD SEE ......

Hey! It's my local track.
Why did you lose the front end? Brake issue?
So for rain racing we (racers) usually soften the suspension. Big teams would have a rain bike already setup with softer springs, computer electronics - traction control, engine braking, etc, for rain racing. We ride slower and smoother in the rain trying to keep the tire glued to the wet pavement to maximize control and prevent disaster.

Yeehah!!!!!
Hope to see you racing again some time.
Sorry to say, but the situation we have all over the world is just reality and no sense to fight it.

You weren't that far from me at one point in time.
