bsb rider vs general inters pace.

Lee Costello around oulton.

He comments somewhere below saying the td organiser messed him up and put him in Inters.

Quality riding and it seems so calm despite squirming around. I always like watching videos of proper racers in direct comparison to us lesser humans

I can do the impossible and tell you it was stock 2012 zx10 with hm quick shifter and full akro system that's it....as he also commented on the video further down ha.

I love seeing the difference. And just how easy they make going fast seem.

What always gets to me when you see these guys making mere mortal TD riders look silly is the degrees of the scale going upwards, i.e.

- a TD instructor (or, say, a Club racer) can make you look silly when you're riding at 9.9 tenths and he's riding with one hand looking back at you
- a pro superbike racer would probably make that instructor/ club guy look silly
- most GP riders will raise the bar to yet another level (again, degrees, but you get the point)

Quite humbling really!

(yes, yes, I know there are exceptions to every rule, before you launch your keyboard-based Cruise missile or tell me about your mate down the pub who'd beat the GP aliens even if he was on a CG125....)

I know what you mean. I was at cadwell last year and i remember watching the fast group thinking id love to be that fast, then gary johnson went out to test his tt bike and he was in another league.

Ive been to watch bsb and moto gp but its hard to get a real life understanding of how much better they are until you see them riding along side.
Id like to think most people with enough experience and money to do enough trackdays could get into the bottom half of the fast group. But when you see proper racers they are just another breed. I guess early start in life coupled with no fear goes a long way.
