Ninjette at Jennings GP with visible speedo.

Rassie · February 15th, 2012, 04:56 AM

I mounted my camera so you can see the gauges. I have not seen this done before on a vid at Jennings GP for a Ninjette. This gives a good idea of how fast I am going and also some indication of the pace I am running. I was in the Intermediate Class and was keeping up with some people on 600's, however most people just pulled away into the distance powering out of turns. My corner speeds were definitely higher than most, never got passed in turns. Overall I am quite surprised. The bike handled great, very stable. I used minimal braking, scrubbing speed in turns was fun but did show accelerated wear on my tires as seen in the picture at the end. For those wondering how fast it goes and do not care to watch the video, I was nudging the ton (100) every lap at the back end of the track where I was able to run the 3 kinks at full throttle.

Great vid! Hard to see what's in front with the black windscreen you can make out what's going on. What tires are you running?

Nice

I am running Bridgestone Battlax BT-003's and I really like them. I was not pushing extra hard since it was a cold day hovering around 50...so cannot say how they will work when pushed really hard on a hot day..

At the pace I was going they did not slide around any and I did not notice anything out of the ordinary.

That is probably the best road in Florida.

Yeah..they had to drag me into the car kicking and screaming like a 5 year old...

Happens at every track day I go to even though I have been doing it for 20 years..some things never change.

Cool video, Rassie!

I'm itching to go back to JGP, haven't been there in a while. That place is addicting!

Looks pretty empty on the that road, was it a Monday?

Nemesis · February 22nd, 2012, 05:40 PM

Holy crap...all I see is a painted windscreen. LMAO!

Great video to post, thanks.

Why is the bike "almost" stock?

Were you hanging out the seat when leaning?
