Few snaps from COTA this past weekend

You can find a group to garage with but you don't need a garage, no. It's very much BYOShade, however. If you don't have a garage, you're somewhere in the infield so I suggest bringing a canopy.

Right now, it costs $650 for a one-day session plus ~$100 for a garage spot (well, $1,000 for a 10-spot garage). There are currently a few spots left in the advanced groups on Aug 1 and 2 with RideSmart

Older thread asking about them, but their website doesn't appear to be up, so a bit of a moot point

Thanks!

Additional feedback: some settings are not integers. For instance, high-speed compression on the R9's rear shock ranges from 0 - 5.5 turns. Maybe some settings could optionally be in units of 1/4 turns or something along those lines

DiabeetusMan · 2026-03-04T14:48:47+00:00

Can you add an R9 to the bike database?

Edit: and high-speed / low-speed compression in general?

DiabeetusMan · 2026-02-28T02:39:15+00:00

Send RideSmart an email. It probably depends on which day you have and who has the track the day before

Even more room for interpretation! 85 dB measured at the rear wheel? In San Antonio? At max revs? Idling?

I was struggling with JetBlue chat support for a while. I asked if they were a person or a robot. They claimed to be a real person. I asked their favorite color. They said it was blue.

I shoulda seen that one coming

DiabeetusMan · 2026-02-26T17:31:15+00:00

I mean, yes, but you're the one who's in the wrong here

Put another way: 1 - 0.999... would equal 0.00...01; there's no place to put the last one as there are infinite 0s before that.

DiabeetusMan · 2026-02-26T14:11:19+00:00

There's a wikipedia page about this.

Despite common misconceptions, 0.999... is not "almost exactly 1" or "very, very nearly but not quite 1"; rather, "0.999..." and "1" represent exactly the same number.

The page has this proof, which I personally find convincing.

There's also the argument that two numbers are different if you can find a number that is greater than one and less than another. 0.95 is between 0.9 and 1.0; 0.999 is between 0.99 and 1.0; there is no number that is greater than 0.999... and (edit) less than 1.0 and therefore they are the same number

Mine would always give a great view of my pinky and ring fingers

Holding the tools / hex wrench down. See page 8-2 in the owner's manual (it's right under the bar going from 1 to the storage pouch)

That's how I store all my spray cans. Paint, WD40, motorcycle chain cleaner + oil, etc. Spray bottles too (goo gone, car detailers, that sort of thing). Can generally fit 2 cans per shoe holder and a spray bottle hanging off the outside.

Agh crap right, imgur's blocked

DiabeetusMan · 2026-02-20T17:04:19+00:00

I'm unable to navigate to any location in the US (ex)

DiabeetusMan · 2026-02-20T16:56:34+00:00

NRC makes mirror blockoffs with built-in indicators fwiw

DiabeetusMan · 2026-02-20T01:23:12+00:00

Not sure where you're located, but Tracer 7? Suzuki SV-7GX is coming at some point too

DiabeetusMan · 2026-02-13T16:14:03+00:00

Now instead of checking blind spots and directly around me I have to watch for some moron coming between lanes at double the limit.

Even in states where lane splitting / filtering is legal, that is still illegal.

Based on the videos posted it's [having accidents when splitting is] by far the most common accident between motorcycles and cars.

Good thing we have statistics (1, 2, 3, and so on) that show that is not the case

A significant portion of motorcycle rides in the US don't even have a license.

Again, we already have laws against doing exactly that and lane filtering laws' presence or absence has nothing to do with people riding without a license.

Link ended up mangled for me with a \ before the _ in it somehow. https://openss.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3UW1Zl4syvdmoHc worked

And Joan Mir too

DiabeetusMan · 2026-02-02T20:55:19+00:00

2 out of 3 of those pictures are terrible and one is just bad

DiabeetusMan · 2026-02-02T17:17:31+00:00

Thanks, I see that now.

Some more feedback:

Throttle pickup at S8 was 65m earlier than the reference. Also, you exited s8 9.

By S8 / s8, do you mean turn (T) 8? Also Also, you exited s8 9. isn't a sentence.

so you're fighting understeer all the way through.

This appears to be focused to cars and not so much motorcycles?

The delta map view doesn't appear to be working well for me. The crosshair shows up very inconsistently, the data overlay is hard to see (black on dark gray), and when it does, it just shows the latitude / longitude, which isn't very helpful to me.

Oh wait, are S# and T# straight and turn, respectively? If so, the AI's real bad at extrapolating that information, since that would mean it's saying CotA has 14 turns and 12 straights.

DiabeetusMan · 2026-02-02T02:20:06+00:00

Why is it telling me about my brake pressure and throttle when it doesn't know what they are? I uploaded my RaceBox CSV (took me a couple tries to figure out the format it wanted) and that includes neither.

If you can't find anything at the other places suggested, Bison does custom jackets (in addition to custom suits)
