"turn in your solidworks and receive a GSXR 600 after purchasing Pro/ENGINEER"
I took some video of my new Race Bike in action Sunday at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet IL ... thought you guys might enjoy. I purchased a Safety First Racing M4 GSXR 600... and boy it's fast! It is ironic that I would get a Police Race bike. As a 20 something I sent police helicopters back to base to re fuel.
If your not used to looking at videos on your computer you may need to install a typical codec to get it to work. I usually just search Google for 'codec' and install the first one I find then try the video. Then if that does not work I install another. http://www.divx.com is where I often end up for the free codec install.
Most 600's by the way sound out with a high pitch, this new M4 Suzuki 600 has a different throaty sound.http://www.proetools.com/autobahn/autobahn080209-lastrun.avi< last run of the day... I was getting a little tired.
[url]http://www.proetools.com/autobahn/autobahn080209-rearwheel.a vi [/url]< mounted my Point of View camera to the rear wheel to mess around after suspension adjustment. I should have made a video of rear wheel before setup to notice any changes.
I took other videos but they are still uploading. The files above are both 300+ megabytes un compressed so it could take some time to download. My new POV 1.5 video camera is the same camera used by the motorcycle chase bikes videoing for the Tour De France and MotoGP race bikes.http://www.vio-pov.com/ was used for the footage. Do they use Pro/E to design that water proof camera?
The bike preformed quite well first time out. Everything came loose after the first run which is to be expected. Had to come in after two laps of my first session because I lost my shifter as the lock nut came loose after two laps. I took it easy first session and tighten everything that came loose. Each session is 20 minutes by the way. For second session I moved the rear sets back to notches to I could get my foot in there. I paid the 80 bucks to get dude from superbike Italia to help me set up the bike.After that the bike rode very different. The set up engineer told me to ride the bike easy after the setup change, so i took it easy...Maybe the suspension was stiffer and and that caused me to get some crazy head shake under hard acceleration out of the last turn before the strait.No big deal after I set the steering dampener tighter. The steering dampener was leaking oil...I wonder how those things work? ... and why is there oil in there?I rode a bit harder the last three sessions and I got video for your amusement. After lunch the front brake showed signs of master cylinder problems. Had to take all four fingers off to pull her in. No big deal tho. That will defiantly need a rebuild kit or replacement before I get on a trailer to Barber Thursday morning.My lap times were 1:10 for the day.
I love my new bike almost as much as I love Pro/E!
