wera racer trying ccs

[jigmoore]

...My bike is definitely not COMPETITIVE (sorry Brian, H made me.......... ::))...[

i knew you couldn't do it.  you missed out on $500

btw.  the reason i pick on you so much for this is that i heard it all year long...'if i had that bike' or 'my bike this' or 'my bike that'

at our level it is not the bike, it is the rider.

It's ok Brain, I don't mind you picking on me.  I am just trying to be realistic, and you know how SLOW I am as you saw me racing this season.  

I knew rider makes a big difference, but there is no way that I could make up the ground lost on acceleration (I am no Rossi).  I am pretty sure you understand what I am saying.   ;)

... but there is no way that I could make up the ground lost on acceleration.  I am pretty sure you understand what I am saying....

no, i don't.  i raced against 1000cc bikes all year this year.  the difference between a 600cc and a 1000cc inline four is probably more than the difference between your 400 inline four and the 650 twins.  i either got beat or won because of rider ability, not how powerful the bike was.

when i lined up on the grid i never concerned myself with the size of their bike, but instead was always concerned with the name on the back of the leathers.

another example.  i did a lot of trackdays on my totally stock '00 zx9r....my times on my '02 gsxr600 track bike were almost identical.  talk about a difference in bikes and power!!!

i will repeat.  at our level the difference is the rider, not the bike.

btw.  i was not saying you are slow, i thought you were doing good.  i watched you follow eddie kraft at nelson and was impressed....(but i would never admit that in public).

Jig's right Sunny.  You make too many excuses.  If you're going to race the 400 again next year, you should prepare yourself for the reality that comes with it.  Small grids, a couple classes, a bike you can blame as uncompetitive.  If I were you, I'd do whatever I could to get an SV and put yourself on a level playing ground to eliminate the excuses.

Not that I'm one to talk this year.  I've had plenty of excuses.  I hate using them, so I'll just say I was slow this year, but you can bet I'm going to try and eliminate the excuses for next year.

If I remember correctly, last year Jason ran a 1:24 or 1:26 on Sunny's bike at Grattan the first time he rode it.   ::)   I think that was the same weekend Sunny crashed my 748... but enough about all that.  I'm not getting involved.

Hahahahahaha......................you are way off as you have reported your own best time at Grattan or anywhere else..................just can't stop your BS self I guess.........................I thought you are leaving CCS forum alone, but then your word is never good............................ ::)

Jason did ran 1:31's.  If he could run 1:26's on my bike (not even trying to go as far as 1:24's), he should definitely be racing in MotoGP.




Eddie/Brian, I knew that I could ran better time at every track I been to on my bike, and will prove that next year.  I am not making an excuse for me still being slower than what I could be as a racer.  Just saying that I am not going to run my bike in a class that I knew I have no chance winning because the reality is a SV650 is too much for a stock 400 engine (in both HP/torque while weight less in full race trim such as Eddie's).  This is the reality no matter how much you want to discuss it.  Even Jason Etter or whoever riding my bike will not be able to run with SV650s unless it's got a slow rider on it (I did passed/beated some slow SV650 racers this year).  I make no excuses in lossing to anyone in the classes that my bike is competitively in though.  Aaron Kidd did raced much harder and better than me in the last two months of the season and beated me in DSB on his modified FZR400 (engine bored out 1 or 2 mm I believe) a few times although I still had the advantage in points and could won the championship just by finishing the race in the last round at Grattan (I decided not to participate in that race as my cousin is getting engaged that same weekend and I already wrapped up a championship in DSS).

I will definitely get myself a SV650 or a 600 later to run with people like you (maybe another year or two; definitely have to stick with my 400 for next year).  I know the best way to improve myself as a racer is to run with the best, not in DSS/DSB where there are only an average of 5 competitors.  I make no excuse that I am still a relatively slow racer.

you are not listening......all your above quote says is:
'blah, blah, excuse, blah, blah, excuse'
and then you throw in that you are 'not making any excuses'

listen, sunny <jig grabs sunny's head and makes him look him in the eye to guarantee he is listening>
pick one:
- either you agree with us and feel that the rider is the majority of the equation
- or you disagree and feel the the performance gap is too big to overcome.

we can debate based on your response.  but, you gotta pick ONE!
