TMP - July7th Racer5 Track Day Video

I want to apologize to the rider that I passed then cut off after I lost my front brake, nothing scarier than coming up to a corner full throttle and reaching for a brake that isn't there!... couldn't remember who it was when I passed but I know you must have had to tug on the stoppers to avoid me going into the run-off at turn 2... I didn't get that incident on video.

What happened? It is time to change a brake master? I had the similar incident and replaced it with Brembro... and it's worth every penny.

BTW, Nice video as always! (No country music though...)
 
He's already got a nice piece of Brembo kit on there!
Country music....next should use Sinatra! BTW nice video that ghost transition is really cool, you're definitely getting more advanced with the video editing

The line connection at the Master Cylinder loosened up just enough for some oil to squeak through and I lost pressure to the front calipiers just as I was making a pass and braking for the corner! I go over that bike with a fine tooth comb after every track day but that is one connection I never checked, but will now... again another lesson learned, thank goodness nobody got hurt.

Lovely, I almost .... almost cried.... by LOL!!! Yes, yes I got your msg loud and clear(!?)
Try some Classical now... your ears are so corrupted. I will try to make one to show you how to put real music... but first I must learn how to put background music ...

Felt very very good on Sunday morning practice, the best I've felt so far, so I was pumped to race. But the 5 or 6 hour wait in baking heat til my race just drained me out of it and the race feeling wasn't as good as the practice feeling. But, if I remember correctly, the results said my quickest lap was a 1:15.9. If the timing system was working right and I'm remembering right then not bad for the third day on the bike, using very old tires (some 100 laps or so) I'll be really happy. Just have to wait and see when the results are posted online to confirm...

The classical music and you went perfectly cause you ride so smooth it was like watching a melodramatic korean drama, that almost brought a tear to me eye! And then Aubrey took over and that music transition was hilarious I did not expect that haha!

Yea it was a low 1:12 as well, if I remember right a 1:12.2 or something. He won every class he entered I think! This year people are fast, Rookie class riders doing 1:14's, 1:15's...I'd love to come to Mosport but I know it's full now for registration and gotta catch up on work...
