Hi All,
here are a couple of videos of C, on a track day.
Enjoy.

C's Loud R1 Part 1

C's Loud R1 Part 2

Picture quality is not great, (faulty camera since replaced FOC)
but, the sound track.....music to our ears...

Apparently, the next "instalment" from Croft is in the camcorder,
and soon to be posted to me....it'll follow here shortly after...

Nice videos. Interesting camera mount under the front fairing. I don't think I have seen that before.

Hi All,
and now here's Part 2...

C @ Croft Part 2 (Maintain your rythm.)

Some years ago I read Keith Code's book "A Twist of the Wrist", in that reguarding overtaking,
Kenny Roberts described how he really did not see other riders. It was more akin to ,
seeing through them. I think you may agree C seems to be "seeing through" the other riders.
It's a knack you either have, or do not have. Definately another "riding skill" that Racers need though.
Hope you enjoy.

NB C has said I can do an "Out-Takes" (Part 3 - if you like).
Which I think is a good idea, just to prove it's not as easy as it may seem..

Hi All,
In C @ Croft Part 1, I went on, and on, and on, about cold tyres...
Here's a good example of WHY....

Yes. Didn't look like he was on a good line for passing the guy in front of him. Then it looks like he either chopped the throttle or hit the brakes too hard while leaned over in the turn.

Hi Don,
Spot on, I thought it was a really good example of a rider not "seeing"
when to overtake..unlike C's Part 2 above.
He, caused his own downfall by letting the rider infront get in his way,
rather than seeing a way around him.
