A not very standard fzs600 i.e. the original Fazer 600.
I reckon I'd be quicker on standard gearing, it's currently -1 up front, but I'm a fanny when it comes to wheelies so I chicken out when it starts to lift
I reckon they're less probably less peaky as standard too, mine has a k&n, race exhaust and dynojet kit. It properly flies along above 10krpm, doesn't do much at all below 8 though. ____________________ I am a bellend, I am a man of constant sorrow, I am a gummy bear, I am a rock. |

Had a thought. I didn't run the Striple baffle out last time.
Looking at my timing sheets, my average speed in October (baffle out) was 107.61mph. Last time (baffle in) it was 105.44mph
2.17mph variance (2%)
Baffle in reduces standard power by 2.5bhp, baffle out is +3bhp. So essentially, I was possibly down around 5.5bhp (5.24%).
I think baffle in provides a smidge more midrange, which may be the reason I beat my time last time anyway, even with a slower terminal speed.
I could bring the SV, just for the overrun and save some abuse on my Striple. But I've not got the racing can on it anymore, so it's a bit muted compared to 18mths ago. Plus it's painfully slow.
It's all tiny margins and I'm clearly only racing my timesheet, but not knowing is going to niggle.
But then I might turn up, be slower and then start blaming the June weather. The air was colder in October. So then I'd have to bring the Striple, baffle-less, back in October.....and to be a true test, go on a diet to lose the 1/2st I put on
Overthinking it. But am considering Striple without baffle, just to see.
Neighbours will kill me, it is quite loud.

Me and -Monty- are going to take the most direct motorway route as its already a mega-early start for us so we'll hopefully meet everyone there before 9.30 . |

Brilliant day everyone good to meet some new faces too.
Quite gutted its so far away from me now i've been, would like to go again if it wasn't such a horrific motorway slog to get there .
Have a load of track side and on-bike photos that i'll sift through later or tomorrow.
For now though; Carvel Vs Pigeon, followed by me vs mr zzr1400 .

Good seeing you guys again, always a good giggle.
I got back at 7pm and the last 15mins were in under the cloud of rain that usually finds Matt.
But to be fair, we were really lucky with the weather, it kind of threatened to rain a few times and that would have been curtains for long periods, instead we got quite a lot of runs again.
* First drag strip sideways moment.
* Lesbian S&M session....that apparently needed to be paid for.
* Fastest granny drives the quietest muscle car.
* Ford KA's don't do burnouts.
* Jet car that turned money and time into fire, smoke and noise.....but what a noise. Never heard anything like it!
* Got a PB (0.16 quicker and 4.5mph faster at the end). Also logged slowest time ever recorded....twice!
* Sausage in the morning, sausage(ish) in the evening.
* Joe got a nail in his 300kg 150bhp, 100lb bike, was happy to continue but basically got thrown out by the unwashed masses behind him and didn't want there runs spoilt by his smeared brain.
I reckon it was the FZ750 that Joe smoked who got his revenge.
* MattB nearly bought Downton Abbey, but it didn't have enough room for his bikes.
* My turn to get the number completely glued to my plate. Removed a finger nail + skin getting most of it off. Attacked it with solvent now and finished the job.
Two Triumphs in our group and not one broke down!.....although when I got home, slowing for a tight turn and I could hear grinding on the rear wheel when applying the brake. I have no rear brake pad, its on the metal......clearly overuse trying to contain massive wheelies.
