Oh well 150 to USA is good. 

I remember poor Hamish's ping was >400 from Australia during last race but it didn't cause much problem I think.

Ten riders with ping >250 might be though.

Lotus - Is there a server we can test it yet?

Ah yes I see it is up already we will see how it is

I am wondering if the server has been tested for Ping rates for European or further competitors?

Just a thought.

Thanks Max,
And I agree much smaller - an actual lock in this circumstance will be very bike specific methinx.

Nice Yohji,
interesting to see the front lock before the 'endo'

My name is "Hawk", my surname is "UK" so I presume this will qualify? 
Hawk.

No it must be Hawk Uk not Hawk UK.

Are you Nick Lenatsch??

haha lol no, Ive forgotten more than he ever knew lol.

my eyes already falling on some little things/mistakes i missed out/made, better get them fixed.

Hehe The curse of the Artiste!

Ohhh nice one KM I have it installed thanks looks very nice! 

Interesting videos.

The first is odd I wouldn't expect that so easily unless there is damp/oil etc but it goes with my theory in above posts of possible to do it by overbraking at slow speeds (especially on a long wheelbase bike).

The second is nothing to do with brakes - his bike has an engine seizure by the look and sound of it.

I cant watch the third, these vids make me feel sick inside (yeh I know I'm a pansy give me some puppies).

and yes road and track / roadbike and racer / road tyres and race tyres are going to be factors.

This one proves my quick and hard theory in my posts above (did anyone read em?)

Interesting stuff

And this guy has read my posts and makes a living out of it hahaha

   My first much anticipated proper race with all you lovely boys and girls.

Very much enjoyed it thank you, despite everything going wrong from Quallie onwards. Finished 15th I think mainly because of drop-outs but hey to finish at all is a start I guess.

Apologies to those who lapped me and saw me in a blind panic to get out of the way - creating chaos I expect.

Onwards and upwards!
Thank you all again.

Yay thx Boeren 

I understand    np

Any good race needs Backmarkers

Thanks for the link Max that looks an excellent tool.

[what I expected to see]

   Right then I've been out testing and these are my results. I record what I expected to see and whether or not it did occur based on my previous post.
    I tested on both a Moto3 and the Aprilia RSV4 both having the same results.
    Only assists on were Rider lean and Auto Clutch (I knew id be stalling a lot)
    No control Smoothing, Linearity 100% and Gain 100%
    I'm not rigged up to record the video but I analysed brake/wheel timing and reaction using the Orbit mode in replay at 1/5th speed in each case.

-Rear Brake Only full on at 60MPH TARMAC  - no lock -(Not Expected  should be no lock followed by a lock as weight transfers forward during deceleration) like below
-Rear Brake First then Application of Front Brake as well - no rear lock at first, rear lock as front applied (Expected)
-Rear Brake Only full on at 60MPH GRASS - Lock after 2 metres (Totally Expected - Low grip getting lower as weight transfers forward on deceleration).

-Front Brake Only Quickly Full on at 60MPH TARMAC - no lock but stoppie (Not Expected would of liked a quick lock up before the stoppie threw me 30 ft down road))
- Front Brake on Hard at 60MPH not reducing strength as bike slows - no lock (Not Expected would of expected a lock near to stopping speed)
-Front Brake on Hard on GRASS - front lock up - Expected  but the bike is too stable I could even steer with front locked up.

-Untested - Braking with forks bottomed out - couldn't reproduce.
-Untested - Does Auto clutch disengage the engine at low speed which would affect braking? hmmm I doubt it.
-Untested - changes in Linearity and Gain - think you already tested these?

Conclusion - better braking physics than I anticipated. Like everything in life there's room for improvement, and, of course this is based on my knowledge of braking physics which, also like everything, is debate-able.

I hope this helps you out with testing your observations a bit  tseklias.

Nick.
