Mallory Park onboard Track day last session me & another rider chasing each other | Aprilia RSV4 RF

[@sk2283]

Love the sound of tyre squeal going into the hairpin ! 👍😁

[@ChasingTenths]

Yes mate, no ABS , so was pushing the front on there to it’s limit. Still need to remove the ABS pump and have the brake cables going straight to the callipers

[@trustnuffin9121]

Awesome editing and great riding from both of you 💪💪💪 Lotta fun 👍

[@ChasingTenths]

thank you very much :)

[@RustyP81]

The speed that guy carries through Gerald's is insane!! Some awesome battles, great to watch!!

[@ChasingTenths]

Absolutely Russ. He actually asked me to follow him a session before this one and by following him I learnt a lot and then on the last session it was a good little battle but he’s quicker on a older bike with no electronics, goes to show how much a rider can make a difference. I really admired that chap and that’s what it’s all about, learning from each other and appreciating each other and trying to keep them behind you lol

[@cordellian]

There is no way that speed reading is correct. 190 down the straight at mallory, 140 around gerards, never.

[@RustyP81]

[@6arethevan5]

Nice that Abhi, making me want to get out on track again even more though, it's been a loooong winter!!! Thanks as always for sharing 👍

[@ChasingTenths]

Exactly Gareth , that’s why I post these videos out at this time of the year to really get people motivated to get tinkering in the garage to get their bikes out soon. I think with covid rules lightened . This year is going to be epic for everyone

[@jamieharris2877]

Great video to help navigate Mallory, top job as always Abhi.

[@ChasingTenths]

Thank you very much mate

[@stevebritt9456]

Times are coming down Abhi, lookn great certainty getting to know the track better, getting a nice flow going now spot on mate… 💪🏁

[@ChasingTenths]

Thanks mate , 56.6 seconds is the target this year Let’s see Thanks for the constant support mate

[@greggan100]

Brilliant editing, and riding from both! Them false neutrals are scary... carnt wait to get back on track 👌👍

[@ChasingTenths]

That’s true, I was fed up of the false neutrals, happened 3 times that day and it was entirely my fault because in the whole hurrying up with things I shifted half heartedly at points . I can’t wait to get out too mate

[@TheEarlster]

Not been to Mallory Park but it looks wicked great riding - p.s. agree with other that guy has a great exit strategy make me look like I was parking up😁

[@ChasingTenths]

Hahaha, he’s a good rider , his suspension was letting him down out of the last corner otherwise he would have clearly taken me. You must visit this track , short circuit but there is so much you can learn in a minute or so cause you are doing lap after lap after lap about 15 in one session. , so you actually remember where you need to improve and work on it It’s excellent

[@patsmith24ps]

That was some deep hard braking! Awesome to watch from cockpit.

[@ChasingTenths]

Thank you very much , my front was in a much better condition than rear , so I had so much confidence in the front :) Cheers for taking time out to comment

[@WinningInters]

Never realised your title music says “Ding dong” Durr di di, di di DING DONG 😄

[@ChasingTenths]

😂😂😂😂 lol I didn’t realise

[@jmpdrpaintlessdentremovalj9959]

Some good braking into the hairpin there 👌👌👌

[@ChasingTenths]

Thank you very much

[@hoslyr86bass]

Haha awesome mate looked like some good fun

[@ChasingTenths]

It was definitely mate, really enjoyed it . It’s always great to have one or two riders who have similar face. It’s makes it a lot of fun Thanks for commenting and watching

[@JPRATT537]

What kind of bike is the #69 riding?

[@ChasingTenths]

Its a 2008 Honda Fireblade 1000RR and mine's a 2015 Aprilia RSV4 RF :)

[@chrischamberlain9513]

What set up are you using for your telemetry etc. Any help would be appreciated

[@ChasingTenths]

Trackday genius app I use I am actually in the process of making a video on that subject Give me about 5 days

[@HippoDrones]

That was a good little ding dong Abhi! :D The false neutrals seemed a little bit of a pain, is it time to get a new bike, or rebuild the engine? Loved watching this mate, was flip-flopping in my PC chair on each corner, not been to Mallory since possibly 2008/2009

[@ChasingTenths]

Wow. You are a proper Mallory veteran in a way , That was my third ever time there. You raise a very very good point there, I need to either refresh the engine or upgrade the valve springs at least . But it’s going to cost a lot . So might just try to see if I can survive this year at least but I have a few tracks booked so I really need to think seriously on the above two options .

[@HippoDrones]

@@ChasingTenths I sadly traded in the most fun bike I ever had after the gearbox being a pest.... I really wish I'd kept that bike now and just spent the money fixing it as I hated the Ducati I got to replace it. Ha... hardly a veteran, I think I have only done 2 trackdays there! :D You were proper rapid mate, I can only dream of having that pace!

[@ChasingTenths]

@@HippoDrones Thank you very much mate for the kind words , still learning to get quicker , just need to tame my self at times. We'll definitely meet up on a trackday soon :)

[@HippoDrones]

@@ChasingTenths aye, I think you chased that other bike a little harder on one bit than you possibly should have lol 😆 We def will mate, would be an honour to have you show me the way around a track, you are good at explaining and seem to have a natural talent for motorcycles and track

[@ChasingTenths]

@@HippoDrones wow, you are on a compliment spree today Thanks again mate Would definitely show you around , and yes that other bike incident , lol, not my proudest moment but all in all a good save in the end and we both had great laugh after the session lol

[@matthewwindows9332]

Nice one motty. Aka other rider

[@ChasingTenths]

Thank you :)

[@ayowser01]

08+ fireblade?

[@jmrracing7097]

What an earth were your electronics doing. Great riding though

[@ChasingTenths]

Well spotted mate, The rear tyre was nearly gone and that made the electronics a bit mad whenever I was out of that particular corner before the bus stop. Even exiting Edwina corner the TC light came on and reduced power slightly every lap. the super modern electronics don't intervene as much as the 2015 bikes do , they are still in their infancy in those years, still getting to grips with the whole artificial intelligence concept.Thanks for watching mate

[@jmrracing7097]

Ahh I see. I enjoy your content

[@nealweightman3086]

Isn’t it Gerrards bend

[@ChasingTenths]

I might have misspelt it Apologies if I did

[@Focused_Veteran]

Nice Abhi!

[@ChasingTenths]

Thanks mate :)

[@monkeyzx9]

I’m running 59 sec laps on a Blade 954 and this seems sooooooooo much faster!

[@ChasingTenths]

@@monkeyzx9 I turn the hypersnooth off on the GoPro and have motion blurr which gives it a more frantic and cinematic look :)

[@monkeyzx9]

@@ChasingTenths still quick mate, give ya self the credit 👍🏻

[@ChasingTenths]

@@monkeyzx9 cheers my friend , much appreciated… I now do a 58 there and it’s one of the best circuits to learn some basics . I love it

[@monkeyzx9]

@@ChasingTenths I still think Gerards is one of the best turns anywhere, that geezer was flying through there.

[@ChasingTenths]

@@monkeyzx9 totally agree , he was absolutely epic there , it separates the men from the boys that turn

[@kalheer]

The other guys a rocket out the corner exit

[@ChasingTenths]

Yeah, he’s a proper rider, his suspension let him down, he’s just bought an R1 so he’ll pass me easily next year after the last turn where he was struggling to cleanly get out due to the suspension issues he was having. In the end the dual was superb. Love it

[@tobiasjacobsen_dk]

Isn’t it time to sort that bike out ? It is hard for me to watch this 😕 appreciate the content though 😉

[@ChasingTenths]

haha Tobias, I know it's frustrating to watch , but these videos were done last year within 2 months of each other , so it seems like the bike's auto Blipper issue has been playing for a long time , it's just me who is scattering the videos in the boring month of feb , but I assure you the issue is getting resolved :)

[@tobiasjacobsen_dk]

@@ChasingTenths åhhh that make sense. Will you document the fix ? And any other updates to the bike before season start ?

[@ChasingTenths]

@@tobiasjacobsen_dk absolutely, I will definitely do that mate 100 percent

[@andyadair85]

Good cb 500 rider would leave u for dead around Mallory 😂👌🏻

[@ChasingTenths]

😂😂😂 I am sure he will Andy , I never under estimate CB500 riders , most are experienced great riders .
