After not getting on the grid for the Superbike and Superstock TT, Dave is finally on the grid for the Supertwin TT race. With some last minute adjustments for the little Aprilia how will it run in the pressure of a race?
Thanks to Jeanette Hallam for the cover pic

Hope you've enjoyed the fortnight Dave. I've followed your channel & you've been very informative. Unfortunately, I can't get the enthusiasm this eve, due to the more tragic news. I'm sure we all feel the same & our thoughts will be with the lost ones & their families. The TT, is AMAZING & yet also very very sad. All the best to all.

Thanks for all the coverage Dave. As others have mentioned you are listed as # 55 for tomorrow. Lee Johnsons name is not on the list. I saw he pulled out of the SS race with an eye problem. There are a few other #'s with no rider names beside them. Have a great time out there. Stay safe and kudos for being there as a privateer. Good for you. Best of luck and thanks again.

4:46 - fwiw, what I found when I had an apparent tight spot on brand new chain, was - on close inspection - the rear sprocket itself was as good as round. However, there was slight out-of-true LATERAL eccentricity. By a millimetre or so. And it was this that was causing the chain to tighten and slacken slightly, not a "vertical" eccentricity (i.e. an elliptical eccentricity). I undid all the bolts on the rear sprocket and tightened them slowly, in a star pattern, much more carefully than when I'd first fitted it. This trued up the sprocket's lateral eccentricity significantly - but it didn't eliminate it entirely. I'm now wondering whether this is actually an inevitable consequence of aluminium rear sprockets, which will deform more than steel ones when torqued up. I'm going to fit a steel one next time, and see if there's any difference.

Not the TT & bikes, as if nothing has happened today. A father & son no longer with us. Let's show some respect & compassion. As you say, bad timing.

It doesn't sound crisp does it?! (On further viewing it does sound like a minor glitch)Must be frustrating as Dave said it was not evident in testing before the ferry crossing. Do they have to use a control fuel? Perhaps it wasnt all the electric brains fault, lm sure Dave will elucidate when he finds the culprit.

@@obsession_engineering yah I agree but the hub which rotates around the spindle will follow the spindle. I’ve had it happen on my dirt bike. Just thinking as many times both wheels are in the air around that course it may be a possibility. What are the chances of having 2 bent rear sprockets with no lateral wobble?

I've just got to let a lifetimes interest in this event go after the tragic deaths of the father and son sidecar team. Imagine the pain caused to the remaining family and friends. Yes it was their choice but too selfish, no more T.T. for me, my choice, no criticism implied of others.
@tman5634
@tman5634 2 жыл бұрын
I'm feeling the same. Having watched it for the past two weeks & every year for many years, tonight I'm numb, no enthusiasm at all. The father & son death today...21 & 56yrs is enough. I feel sick & can't imagine the pain of some families this past few weeks. Imaging losing your husband & son on the same day, so very very sad. Personally I think any TT videos posted today, should only be about their thoughts to lost ones....lives matter & the TT must always come second to lives.
