Love your videos! The details and insight you provide make this content a must see for track riders. The mix of cinematic footage, behind the scenes views and footage on the track are all very well done. Aragon looks amazing too! I wish I could ride the tracks in Europe. Thank you.
Thank you ever so much
Hugely appreciated, lovely comment that
It’s made my day
I try to portray reality
Ups and downs
Thanks again
Wow, another excellent installment. I’m really dying to see part 3, even though you already told me the cause of the problem 😊. You’re so lucky being able to access all those wonderful European tracks. I live in Sydney so we are restricted to Eastern Creek/Sydney Motorsport Park (SMSP), which is an ex-motoGP track, and Phillip Island. I’m just recovering from a crash in November. Came off at 145km and just broke a little finger but I should be back in a few weeks. The crash video is on my channel - just went into T8 at SMSP a bit hot and lost the front and low-sided. It wasn’t a very traumatic event so I think I’ll be able to pick up where I left off. Anyway, keep up the great work!
Damn
So sorry to hear about the crash
Levi day the Aussie racer who races in U.K. along with Billy McConnell is going to Australia for a month to coach there
Feel free to contact him and mention me to him , he will get all gremlins out of your head
But I really wanted to showcase that physical injuries are easier to heal but sometimes mental scars leave their aftermath, never ever hesitate to ask for help , feel free to msg me when on chasing tenths instagram or something … I feel for you due to the lack of track , this trackday company I do a lot of Trackdays with are going Philip island soon but it’s a bit expensive otherwise I would love to do it :)
Grate video as per usual. We are heading off for our first euro at Aragon in March, so finding this series very helpful.
Keep up the good work😎👍
Fantastic, it's a tricky track to get you head around cause of blind corners but its so rewarding.. In Part 3 I will go through the layout so hope that helps too :), thanks for watching and supporting
Abhi, I was at the front of your garage on the black K3 GSXR, we spoke a few times and it's me talking to Gary in your video. A few words on Gary and his Not So Fast tuition :
I know he's not cheap but all the feedback you see shows he's worth every penny. I lucked out! He unknowingly followed me on day 3, came and found me in the garage and gave me 10-15mins of advice simply because he knew he could help me! He's clear, firm and decisive. There was no ambiguity at all and he was pretty hands on with me! LOL
It was day 3 and this was just before my final session. As you can see from the video I'm fairly large and not so fit so by then I was tired both mentally and physcally ..... but the advice he gave transformed things for me. The next session I did instantly knocked 6 seconds off but it was also safer and less tiring too! Amazing generosity from him to find me and convey that guidance. What you have in the video is me going back to him after as all he asked was for me to let him know how I got on. As you can see, he then continued to give me more tips and advice. Fecking legend! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their riding. Thanks Gary!!!
What a fantastically well written comment there Gary
My sentiments exactly too
Glad that you wrote that
I remember you well mate
I remember you improving too …
It’s amazing how much confidence a pep talk can give you , he talks about realistic changes , practical changes in habits and riding styles , not just sugar coating stuff or looking for future customers
It’s wonderful to have people like him around the paddock
There was a lot but the main thing revolved around when you countersteer what is the resistance that you feel . The answer was grip so lean on it. That and his other comments led to me pushing the front end harder which helped my lines etc etc. Lots of hand pushing etc in the garage to reinforce it in my mind. Gary doesn't just know his stuff but communicates it so well 👍
@@scottyuk spot on that, I have always said in my videos something along these lines … you get fast rider’s then
You get fast rider teachers/coaches who can decipher and explain something in Lehman terms for us mortals to understand better and Gary and also Dean Ellison are masters of that
finally you getting there, again trackdays can be such an mindfuck
the biggest thing i learned in the time that i rode that talking with the faster guys had the best tips. generally just had good ideas
and gives some stuff to talk and think..
cant wait for the 3 vid
i completely mist that you where on assen this year. ( hence i was not in the best shape ) and mindset to be fair.
life itself throws you a curvre ball i would say
Wow, wonderfully worded , thanks for the encouragement.. yes sometimes it’s such a uphill battle
It’s really really tough to sometimes put the mind in gear when things haven’t gone well
But this time it was all good
Much better than assen
And that talk with the coach helped so so much
Another awesome video Jennifer 😂😘 for what it's worth it sounds like your bike can't breathe properly, assuming you've already checked air filters and exhaust are all free flowing, no obstruction or miss fitting🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ anyway hope you've got it sorted by now.
Interesting to hear about your struggles with pace, I'm in the same dark spot since my Mallory crash in 22, hardly ridden in 23, to be fair it took a while to rebuild me and the bike so had a late start to the season and only managed a handful of track days, but I was soooooooo slow and uncomfortable, will absolutely look at some tuition this year, maybe a head shake from someone with real knowledge is just what I need👍🏻 Looking forward to part three Abhi, as always, really enjoyed watching these and appreciate the effort you always put into you vids 🙂🏍️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Gareth …. You are a very very clever man I must say
You are spot on , there was a blockage in the system but all will be revealed in part 3 but you got it .. I just won’t say which blockage yet lol
And yes , there was a big reason I did this metal blockage piece in the video
Loads of us riders suffer from it after a crash
And sometimes all you need is a stern and meaningful chat to wake you up …
You will be flying in no time Gareth
And when you are , you must let me know
@@ChasingTenths I think clever man is pushing it...lucky guess....ish😂 glad you got it sorted though Abhi 👍🏻👍🏻 and absolutely, I'll let you know when I'm back upto pace, although my pace had typically been front end inters/back end fast, (we can't all be fast lads like you pal!!) I'll be happy to be there or thereabouts again with my ageing but still fun 600🤞🏻🏍️👍🏻
@@6arethevan5 no problem Gareth
When you go Mallory let me know
If I am not in the bank , I will come over :)
Head high 2024 will be fantastic :)
Oh abhi this is like a cliffhanger penultimate season episode situation now hahaha. Can't wait to see day 3. So glad you got over the crash PTSD (sounded like PTSD?). It's probably my top fear on a fast motorcycle, which of course would hold me back but I'm not too bothered as long as I can nail the rhythm. It's all still fresh and all too fast for me tbh haha
Hahaha , cliffhanger is my favourite movie with my favourite actor … lol
Yes , it’s been an uphill battle after the crash but all it took was a conversation and it all went away , mental strength plays such an important part in this but alls well that ends well .. don’t worry crashes , part and parcel of learning to go quick … I am editing part 3, I have a horrendous cough at the moment so might do all the vocals tomorrow after taking some steam before I start recording, thanks for being an avid watcher and your comment is much appreciated
Epic again. Looked amazing mate, so glad you enjoyed it
Thank you mate , glad you enjoyed it
Great video again. I think I enjoyed the talking more. I know how you feel. Sometimes after 2 days, I realise that I’m not comfortable on the bike for whatever reason and then kick myself coz I know I need to get back in the zone. The mind is a fu*#er!! Cant wait to see part 3 when you sort your bike.
wow, I am pleasantly surprised , cause I was thinking I talked way too much there , but I thought no one talks about mental gremlins and stuff , everyone blames mechanical stuff.. cheers for the kind words , editing the part 3 now , should be out Friday night hopefully
Love the content Abhi. I'm starting to feel more confident in my track riding and really appreciate the wisdom you impart in these videos. You may have been Pi$$ed off at your lack of top speed, but at least you thought "right, I'll get you on the brakes!".
Exactly that Tony, the problem is even if I catch them on brakes , they would come out of the corner better even if I line them up to overtake cause they had revs and my revs would finish at 11000
Hugely frustrating
But day 3 would be totally amazing ;)
Great video. Loved the "explaining"
Waiting for part3
Happy new year !!!!
Thank you Alberto, I am thinking of doing something to do with Navarra circuit with you being involved
It would be great for the U.K. guys cause no one knows much about that track
I will ring MSV Trackdays and see if they give us some access during British Superbikes testing or something similar
@@ChasingTenths perfect !!! Count me in ;-)
@@AlbertoBaranano brilliant , I’ll keep in touch about this
Great video! Love it! :-)
Thank you very much :)
Great video Abhi. wish we were back there having some fun!
Absolutely Tim, I would really love that too … what a wonderful time , sun is shining .. different world , can’t wait for the next one 😊
It was very good watching you enjoy riding the bike again over the 3 days
You could see the change in you as the trip progressed
It was a bummer my gearbox went but enjoyed watching and helping the other riders out
Absolute pleasure mate
You were brilliant
Your bike was brilliant
Your tyres were brilliant lol
That Continental is pretty good that
Might need to do a stand alone video on it ;)
Sorry to hear about the gearbox. Please share any results of the investigation in case we can learn about service intervals or riding style from this? Thanks
great point that@@lonpfrb
I stayed on the castle on the hill. its called Parador de Alcaniz. it was awesome to stay in a real Castle! view was spectacular too!
Wow, that’s epic
I never knew you could stay there
Definitely views to behold from there
👌👌
Smashing video Abhi!
Cheers mate
I can tell you're a super analytical man, I love how structured you are even in your chats. Loving the series ;)
PS: Its Porti-mao as in Mao Zedong, not mayo 😋
Hahaha, everyone in U.K. days portimayo lol but yes deep down we know it’s mao …
Thanks for the kind words
Very nicely worded
Much much obliged
Just editing part 3 now
Should be out Thursday night U.K. time :)
Abhi out here with the GymShark hoodie, getting ready to become a Fitness youtuber
lol cheers for the comment my man, I bloody wish I was sponsored by them lol..
their clothes are proper expensive , never buy without huge discount code lol
AWESOME SUPERB ! ! ! ! !
Thank you :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR SIR ALL THE BEST @@ChasingTenths
Thank you , same to you too , hope you have a fantastic year ahead@@yiannishayabusaofficial
THANK YOU SIR @@ChasingTenths
Yet Another Wonderful Video Abhi. ❤
Thank you mate, glad you liked it :)
Great video! Totally know how you feel after a crash. I crashed back to back 2022 early season and lost all my flow. Had a day with Dean Ellison and he took me back to basics and I did get there in the end but took about 8 TDs.
Interesting on the Conti, I find them like TD slicks but with better feel. But... They are too flat for me and I prefer the pointy aspects rears you get on VO2s which I've yet to find a match for. Those SC slick rears I have found are amazing then just fall of the edge if a cliff and it really puts me off. I have some KR Dunlop with a 195/65 rear to try in Almeria which will be interesting as lots of folks have pointed me at them.
You make so so so many good points there mate
Spot on about conti
Spot on about Pirelli
Spot on about Dunlop
And the profile of v02 compared to TD
I found that TD started to slide at good pace but conti didn’t
I would love a coaching day with Dean or Gary
I heard they totally transform everything
Luckily for me it only took a stern but fair chat with Gary Walton to get my cogs in order .. quite pleased with day 3
Do watch that :)
@@ChasingTenths looking forward to episode 3!
If I see you at a UK day this year I’ll come say 👋
@@LowsideLew definitely mate , 200 percent … I didn’t go any U.K. days last year but would love to do one this year especially Donington and Snetterton as both have new tarmac
@@ChasingTenths I've already booked the Snetterton open Pitlane end of April, best format IMO. Donny will be in for sure! Come May
@@LowsideLew fantastic mate , have a good one
April end is good timing
👍
👍🏽 cheers
every trip to spain to costs me 1500 euro BEFORE i even set sail, this because i need to prepare the bike from the first to the last nut possible not to have issues then in spain.
Spending 6000 euro in total and time on the road, for one mechanical issue to ruin all.
My friend , I totally totally understand you …. Luckily we managed to solve the problem on day 3
For us guys in U.K. a trip to Spain including bike transport, hotel , flights , insurance everything for 3 days is around £950 to £1100
If it’s a non motogp circuit then it’s cheaper
@@ChasingTenths yeah, for us spain is super far away and when we go, we stay for 3 weeks time, to worth the trouble.
@@AdrianSinner97 I totally understand man
Makes sense 🤗
IMHO Aragon track management should team up with some mobile food truck or catering if there are like >20 people (or a certain amt) there...
They have a huge cafe there inside run by the track
They do pretty good food with desserts and drinks even alcohol free beer lol
It looks like you had an issue caused by the clutch switch. Looks like somebody is taping it up on day one and quickshifter not working properly.
Top end sounds strangled, was your exhaust valve not wire locked open?
Spot on Ian
It’s the exhaust valve
Clutch was fine and clutch wire was fine
The exhaust valve was shutting at 11000 revs unfortunately, we found the solution on the morning of day 3
It was a huge huge relief
@@ChasingTenths Glad you got to the bottom of it 👍 looking forward to episode 3
@@ianmills1120 thanks mate
Hahahhah. You said DODO @ 6:02 😂😂😂
DODO? 🦤… lol .. I said no limits I think , I am confused now lol
@@ChasingTenths lmao. 100% said if you dodo a euro TD with no limits. 😂
lol.. you are funny mate
