@NoGutsNoGlory I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do (based in Kent) but let me know if I can assist at all
Fucking hell Nick!! Had some mates there today... hot day. Good job you were somewhere with medical capacity GWS mate... my turn tomorrow. I’ll try and remember not to do that.
Shit man! At least you made the hospital! Enjoy the room and board (bored!) with all the oaps and GWS!
I’m happy to be out of one of those heart ward beds thx, and never intend to go back. S1000RR it is then...
it isn’t my first rodeo either Even managed to break a smile after being zapped just two hours before
messy divorce, ex wife destroyed my previous life. Being a guy I tried to take everything on and fix it. Heart rate was so high my blood pressure was non existent, effectively stressed myself to the point that my heart stopped and I went in to arrest at work. Luckily they had a Defib and zapped me. Stress is no joke it would seem. I can definitely relate to @NoGutsNoGlory - got the t shirt so to speak. Get well soon brother
Fucking hell! Hope you came out the other side ok? Is that like a panic attack when you hyperventilate and breathing/oxygen/heart rate get out of shape?
erm, I guess in a fashion but obviously with a much more severe potential outcome.. it’s actually more common than I thought having spoken to a cardiologist about it.
I only managed to ride for 3 sessions on Monday so not much to report on the changes to the bike but here it is anyway. The first and second session I rode with the new CRC seat fitted but it was way too high and I felt like I was perched on top of the bike and was pitching over the front in the heavy braking areas. For the third session I removed the detachable part of the seat and just sat on the plastic base. This was much better and it felt more like the standard riding position although still a bit higher. The new Hel M/C with Motul 660 and GPfax pads was a great setup and a massive improvement over stock. I significantly reduced my braking markers without even trying too hard as I was bedding the pads in. The downside was I found that the ABS was kicking in even though I was taking it steady and was a fair few seconds off my normal laptimes. It was only a real problem in those sessions when I was braking for the esses and kept missing the first apex with the front brake pulsing. As my pace increases I think it will be a problem in all the heavy braking corners so it will get bypassed before next season. I've had some foam delivered to put on the CRC seat base which I think I will be able to live with.
