Hi mate, yes I can send you some details. This was quite an old video and just some random lanes we put together but there’s much better stuff over Pateley Bridge way and Hawes. On this video the lanes were in Cowling, Sutton, Oakworth and Oxenhope I think. Do you have Instagram?

@@Fishter1 samwhitehouse86

Haha yes it was a great bike, much more than I needed really although I bought it with the intention of riding supermoto rather than enduro but preferred the enduro and green laning stuff when I tried it

Thanks! This was a great day, we both progressed from the 35’s to 32’s and were helping each other improve throughout the day. There’s areas where I’m much quicker than Gary but then times where I’m holding him up. I’ve not been back since but hopefully when I go again I can get back to where I was and progress from there

Thanks mate! Yeah I’d quite like to try a 600 round there, I definitely need to get braver at using the power of the 1000 more out of corners and as you say line choice would help too. As you saw the next time I went there I instantly knocked 3 seconds off and was down into the 32’s although seeing that video I can see areas I can still improve further as there were many places where I was almost holding Gary on the triumph up even though I had more power.

Awesome! Yogi’s a great coach and I love that he takes younger kids and teaches them to drive and drift! I’ve been back since this video and progressed further and even took my own car to be coached by Yogi in it

🤣🤣🤣 to be fair the guy holding the XR actually had a sports bike I think, and the XR was for their disabled friend I seem to recall

I’d just decatted the standard headers

​@@Fishter1 after that do you need to ecu Fhush?

Yeah it was a good day, we’ll worth doing

A year to the day since I did this actually

I have a GPX for the route we did yeah, it’s a big one but these bits were near hawes. I’ll see if I can find it 👍

I’ve just rewatched this video, I forgot how good these lanes and this ride was! There’s some more videos from the same day, I seem to recall the Stalling Busk lanes were very good too. If you email me at [email protected] I’ll send on the GPX when I find it

Thanks. Yeah it’s great, pretty relaxed and loads to explore

Thanks mate! I’ve since invested in a chin mount by dango designs which I think gives much greater angles etc so be sure to check out some of my newer videos. There’s some great lanes over Pately Bridge and Hawes way which are longer and better than these ones. The best thing I did for finding lanes was by joining GLASS which gave me access to TW2. It’s a map that lists all of the lanes in the UK. There’s also some decent Facebook groups where you can ask for people to show you routes/guide you etc

My 500 has since been stolen so I’m Currently without a bike 😢

🤣🤣 always been a problem of mine! I’ve got down to the 1:32’s now so must have improved somewhere but I can still see loads of areas I can improve on that!

@@Fishter1 It is a serious business dont play at it. You are missing apexes because you are tired. If you are tired you are wasting your time and a danger to yourself and others. To do a fast lap you have to nail the apexes on every turn, and sequence of turns, that gets you maximum power out from the corner and best braking, turning in time. I raced a modified 250 X7 at Croft in 1981, best placed position was second. It only had around 35 BHP (Beckett tuned no air filter) but I had the front end chattering braking into Tower bend and the rear wheel sliding out of Tower and Sunni. A race day for me at Croft was 2 x 5 lap practice sessions and 3 x 5 lap races, that left me knackered as a fit as a butchers dog 21 year old. Endlessly cruising around, repeating the same errors doesnt improve anything at all, it just gets people hurt.

@@johnbrewer8954 thanks for the feedback. I visited Croft a few weeks after this and knocked 3 seconds off my time. I’ve not been back since though. I wasn’t racing and this was just a trackday which is essentially for fun, I don’t claim to be fast, or the fastest I just go out to have fun, and try and do so safely, but obviously like to see progression. Appreciate your comments regarding tiredness, this was the last session of what I recall being a hot day so fatigue will definitely have played a part…

@@Fishter1 I only started racing for a "dare" after a few beers one night I said to a friend of mine who raced "I wouldnnt mind a go" A couple of weeks later he came around to my house and told me about an almost new X7 write off, "are you interested or are you full of BS" So I got the X7 200 pounds, new front wheel tuning steering damper and ace bars, another 200 pounds and I was good to go. It was great fun, the guys I raced against I went out on the lash with when it was a Saturday and Sunday meeting. In 1982 I did most rounds of the ACU Marlboro championship. I took the guy who won it (Mick Crick) in my van to the Thruxton and Lydden rounds, y that time I was serious about it but it was also great fun. At that level 10 laps at race pace was as much as most could manage, to progress you really have to work on fitness and drink less beer. Mick Crick went on to compete in internationals, he said it wasnt harder or faster in itself, you just had to do what was your best lap before every lap, and for more laps. Good luck and enjoy but watch for tiredness, it can be expensive.

Agree John, Did Croft on my RD400C (PVN321R, you may remember the numberplate still on) Mitchie S41 PZ2 and 4's, as i could not afford the KR124's. 1 m 23s +/- 1-2 sec was my times. late apex tower, Flatout into and out of esses, still pegging it barcroft, earlyish off the brakes into sunny, pegged railway straight, late apex oxo smooth neurtal throttle whitehouse and long long pull to chicane, never got chicane very well as the railway sleepers did put me off. went through about 4 litres of water per meeting and was very knackered for the ride home (only 8 miles) sometimes would miss the last race as you say tired makes you a danger to all. no where nr the Ian lwson, ray hutch etc but mid pack, had a good dice with the waltling brothers, best 3 years of my life. missd thr aces on last day (Oct 17th 1981) as tank slapper round to chicane on 2nd practice, lost f master cylinder and hole in clutch case. the 600cc bikes are faster round the new circuit than the 1000's. Paraded my Z500 round Croft the last 3 years at the CRMC meetings, nice to see some of the bumps still there (chicane, tower Etc.) Makes an old man very happy. regards@@johnbrewer8954

It is yes

🤣🤣 sorry! Would highly recommend though! I have some external footage too on my channel which shows just how good it sounds!

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jme9aGmij7mqrJI

Yeah definitely, there’s a few groups that can show you the lanes. If you search the TRF (trail riders fellowship) that would be a good place to start - they have local groups that organise ride outs etc. where are you based?

I’ll check them out, I live in malton if you’ve heard of it??

@@ryannicholson8858 my brother used to live in Malton a few years ago. There’s some good lanes up your way definitely. If you join GLASS (Green Lane association) you get access to a map called Trailwise 2 which shows all the green lanes and is useful for finding them near to you, but the TRF would be better as it’s always easier following someone who knows all the local lanes

@@ryannicholson8858 they often hold enduro events at Spaunton Quarry near Pickering which are great for all abilities (I have a couple of videos from there). Check out Edge Off-road on Facebook if that’s of interest too

Sounds really good, think I’d prefer the laning but both sound good. I have a road bike but would like to give the laning a go.

Yes sure. The first one was Lothersdale, then Cowling, on to Sutton and then Oakworth. The last long one was in Oxenhope

Where in lothersdale do you have a pin drop location i could gonoff looking around the area i cant see out amd wanting to rude it tomorrow if possible mate thanks

@@cooljoe010 I’m pretty sure this is it 👍 Dropped pin goo.gl/maps/9sms7cduc4MbEqEV9

Nice one thanks for that pal

@@cooljoe010 no worries, let me know how you get on

right ear*

Yes you’re right mate, I mean it sounds incredible but it it’s a bit too much, I have to wear earplugs. I don’t really ride it much anymore and just in tracks so it’s less of an issue - I have a quiet pipe for U.K. tracks and use this for European days where there’s no noise limits

Was it really loud even as a slip on, on the stock exhaust? I believe i read in the other comments you modded stock manifold to remove cat? Did you need to map bike either before or after modding manifold? Thanks in advance

The redline days are good. If you check out my more recent video from Portimao you’ll see an improved time and better lines as I spent some time following the staff which helped me. There’s a few redline staff guys who you can ask for instruction and they’ll take you round and show you the lines etc. alternatively if you want more formal instruction you can pay for it through the company they use, I presume you organise this beforehand but can also do it whilst there www.notso-fast.com It’s an awesome track and if you’ve not been before you’ll have a great time. I wanted to go on the May trip and my mates are going but my Mrs is due 15th May so unfortunately I couldn’t make this one 🤣

@@Fishter1 cheers mate will check out other video

I think in reality I make it look harder than it needs to be - he kept telling me I was steering too much. Looking forward to going back now I’ve had chance to watch this footage and see my mistakes!

Thanks for always being the first to watch and comment! 👍👍

@@Fishter1 hi i meant to say spot on. I like this drifting doing okay thanks for your reply always watch you 👍👍👍🙏

@@SOLOMOTOUK looking to get my own car and do a bit more of it, also back with Yogi in March 👍 Thanks!

@@Fishter1 there’s a young lad not far from me he drifts car when Coventry have there motor show and close the ring road down they set a track up for them good to watch. 👍👍👍

Awesome! It’s fairly local to me, great views on a good day 👍

Thanks! Had loads of fun and yeah it’s not as easy as the pros make it look!

@@Fishter1 I was the top gear show years ago even they said it’s harder than you think to keep it going you done good 🙏🙏🙏

@@SOLOMOTOUK only just seen this! Thanks 👍 would definitely recommend trying it, it’s a lot of fun and like you say satisfying when you get it rifht

@@Fishter1 hi just wondering how many hours had you done until you got to this level

Thanks mate 👍

🙄

I don't like fly-by-wire throttle and I love modern-classics from 80s and 90s, especially Japanese but comparing old and heavy 130hp bike to newest 180-200+hp superbikes is a bit of a stretch lol If you didn't ride one that is unrestricted and tuned, you have no idea.

It’s a Shoei GT Air Suzuki Moto GP limited edition. They don’t make them any more but you can still pick them up second hand

@@Fishter1 selling ur helmet ?Would love to but it :)

Thanks!

This has the Eurocharged map but it wasn’t a specific pop crackle map - I think the cat deletes probably made it make the sounds it does

Thanks mate! I’ll have a look, I definitely have a little bit as I know you passed me although it was early in a session and you literally flew off 🤣. I’ll have a look tomorrow and drop you a message 👍

@@Fishter1 😂😂 cheers bud much appreciated 👍🏻

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Theoretical best is a 58.9 but I guess that doesn’t take into account the fact I was held up in the last sector… I reckon a low 58 or even 57 without traffic maybe? Will have to go again next year!

@@Fishter1 Ha haaaaa, easily a low 57. When you're ready for the revisit, download Mick Galvin's session from the leaderboard, he also rides a a standard-ish GSXR

@@Trackdaygenius will do thanks!

@@Fishter1 Also, use the shot of you approaching traffic as your cover image, it's more dynamic, you'll get more views

Thanks mate! 👍

@@Fishter1 still giving you full support watching them all 👍👍👍

@@SOLOMOTOUK you sure do, I appreciate that mate thanks! Been a bit slow with posting recently, I’ve got some great footage from a trip to Alston with the KTM but never got round to editing it (there’s hours of it 🤣)
