VIR Track Day

[vangloryous]

on bike vid's dont need background music. If you must have music at least let it b something other than weak matrix type shit....fail

[Taff2493]

Good Video, Nice riding too

[iNsUpErAbLeZePhYr]

Good stuff!!! 5 stars!!! XD

[miniology]

R6 FTW!

[YNation7]

Awesome pass on the outside of that turn at 2:10.

[stonerfriends2]

haha i was there that day, my Dad's the green Kaw, mike labranche and his friend Mike Marohnic (:

[sidjenx]

awsome video....

[DrawPaintDrink]

Holy headshakes batman. About that tire pressure thing too. Do you fill your tires up with nitrogen for track days? I think I read somewhere (I've never done it) that if you fill your tires up with nitrogen for race days that the nitrogen won't expand when your tires get really hot thus keeping pressure constant. Don't know if you've worked it out yet, but just my 2 cents.

[04busaman]

that was a nasty wable. do you have a damper.?

you are good in the turnings but you need more torque I saw the other riders pulling away mostly on the outer apex, try a sprocket!!!just an idea...

but your good..good job!

[OrionR6]

I did have a damper at the time, and of course they cure the headshakes (see my Beaverun vid for a headshake pre- damper), but dampers can actually make wobbles worse. See the earlier post regarding the tire expansion as the suspected culprit. If I hadn't retired, a sprocket mod would've been up next on the list of upgrades...

[thumperjunkie]

spooky wobbe, zoiks. makes me miss my 6...almost. Great vid.

[zombiekid16]

Not bad, you took them all :)

[mako7828]

Not a bad clip but the friggin music was irritating as hell

[blasianboi17]

1:58...damn that would've freaked me out...wobble at 135mph in a turn...eeek!

[Reeeeeeeeyo]

nice!

[gurveersingh]

Fantastic!

[mpereznoble]

Turn off the music!!! You have a 14000rpm engine!!!

[cplsyx]

Nice ride. Thought I noticed a little rear wheel slip at one point, although I might have been mistaken. Interestingly you're another person who uses the "solid" shift light, I never notice the damn thing if it's set to that mode but everyone else I talk to prefers it!

[OrionR6]

Shift light? Is that what that is? JK...but I don't use it. Just coincidence in this case...

[cawalther]

what was with the wobble from about 1:58-2:01?? rear wheel slip may have been at 2:55 when coming over the hill; right hander

nice vid

[OrionR6]

That wobble ruined my summer, as it was hard to isolate (not to mention scarrrry). The Dunlops noticibly changed diameter at 100+, and I think I had went up to 190s as well at one point. Bottom line, the combination was enough to change the geometry of the bike to introduce a wobble at higher speeds.

[cawalther]

wow! 190! thats awesome! thats so weird though that running a larger tire in the rear would produce a wobble while speading up. I noticed it did it previous to the big wobble at 1:48-ish. It's not like you have a bend in the rim cuz you would have problems in corners. i'll have to pass the vid along to a few guys i know, one races in PA, CCS? i think. very interesting moments there. it never caused a wreck for you did it? hope not! rubber down

[OrionR6]

No wreck, but a few pucker moments. Unlike headshakes that you feel you can ride through, the wobbles leave you with the feeling that it's only gonna get worse. I low-sided a couple of weeks prior, and I even had the frame checked to see if that was the cause. Thats when the techs informed me about the noteworthy tire expansion at speeds. Went back to 180s and no problems...

[cawalther]

that is so weird!

[Canonsnob]

What the techs said is right. The faster you go the more heat the tire generates. This temp increase will affect the PSI of your tires. Different tires/brands run better and worse at different PSIs. Ask around the paddock what other guys using your tires run their PSI at. Play with it a little yourself up and down a couple PSI. There were some good line passes in there. Good video. Good tunes.

[itscoldjack]

Great lines obviousley an R6 sounds decent to

[XxNINJA636xX]

I love how you hung in the back, then OWNED them all at the end! Sick vid, bro!

[leeindy]

what kinda bike

[OrionR6]

R6...

[mvspeed101]

Nice lines man

[ryazbeck]

nice riding man.

[jbraslins]

Nice one. I think i was there for that trackday too. 1:47 laps in heavy traffic is pretty decent. Did not see any CRs in the vid, is this A?

[OrionR6]

Correct, it's A.  From your vids, you'll be in A shortly if you aren't already. Just remember to keep the rubber side down...

[loreztaken]

nice footage

[DVXCine]

Nice riding in the back section, BUT you are braking way to early for turn one.

[maded99]

nice riding m8 and good tune!

[ozanbacak]

Good job. I'll be @ VIR North & South next weekend. The track looks awesome.

[jasonjain]

I don't know whether to puke or sign up for a track day. :-) Awesome footage.

[somebody1010]

looks good

[DaveXDefiant]

so, ya this is the track/course ill be on. im glad that I can watch this and see the corners!!!

[Annihilator95]

Thanks for posting this video! I'm supposed to be going to VIR this coming summer to drive, wanted to see what it was like. Awesome job with the riding too, those were some very good lines.

[OrionR6]

Can't go wrong with an R6, though all the makes are competitive these days.  Mine's an '04. See ya at the track...

[bjjfighter35]

awesome track, wide, long, technical.

real good riding bro, keep it up.

wut year is ur R6? im thinkin about R6s, how do u like 'em compare to other 600s?

[CarnageR1]

NOICE!

[OrionR6]

Not as many as I'd like too. Definitely recommend that you give it a try. Careful though, as it's addictive.

[gsxr6002005]

sweet vid man!! do you attend track days alot? ive never been, want to though
