heh, my dad lives on twin peaks, so im usually riding the vfr over the hill and doing a couple laps up top a couple times almost every day... i'll keep an eye out ;)
 
heh, funny...

it's not as if i havent been driving that road for 10 years and could do it with my eyes closed... or that the top part is a one way figure 8 that has two patches of fallen small rocks on it at the apex of those two corners w/ off camber sections on the first left turn and the second one...
 
oshaugnessy? oh yeah... i used to average about 70 in my quattro, and im at about that speed on the bike... it has a lot more to give, but i wouldnt want to push it too much faster than that on the road, but i know the lines really damn well. IMO, it's the best go-fast road in SF proper.. clarendon is pretty good too, but a bit TOO fast in some parts to be comfortable - plus there is the firehouse there and the school.

Twin peaks would be the ultimate, but the road quality ruins it, so you have to adjust the lines around the pits and gravel that is always there... but having a nice 1-way figure 8 up there is just too cool to pass up...

and the tourists in cars are always in the same spot? Or always pulling over without notice at the same spot? Or always pulling u-turns in the same spot

:rolleyes :hand
 
there are no u-turns on a one-way street, and i've NEVER ridden or driven fast enough at the top of twin peaks to not have enough left in the vehicle to adjust my line to avoid another car.

I dunno your history, but unless you've owned a professional racing team and had about 100 hours of track experience in various vehicles on numerous tracks across the country, please dont get on me about how to adjust lines, know my limits or think that i am a reckless driver without the skills to back up what i claim.

thanks.
 
doesn't matter, your history or mine, if a shithead in a cage is around the corner pulling a stupid move.................

you get the picture :confused

'nuff said

Well I haven't owned a race team, but i do have 100 hours at least on a track and I think you're a moron. We're all pretty much morons for riding motorcycles on the street. Gotta stop thinking you're somehow magically invincible.

My apologies. No one mentioned they had turned twin peaks into a pro track, so I just assumed it was still just a public road with tons of idiot tourists and other road hazards.

I have a lot of experience on public roads, but since you're a racer I'll default to your expertise when it comes to the new Twin Peaks International Speedway.

OMG PWN3D
 
No shit, having owned a race team and had that much track experience should likely teach you that racing on the street is for 'tards, not that it's all good.

I think all racing on the street is reckless, you're putting the lives and well being of others in danger without their permission (at least at the track we all know why we're there). The day you happen to make a mistake (even the very best can in fact make mistakes) you may ultimately ruin someone else's day or even worse, their life, so please be careful.
 
Not once in this thread was i seriously saying that i would 'race' someone, as in actually race. I might like to do a couple laps up at the top for fun, but i never engage in any sort of actul competitive racing on the street. I am actually pretty actively against such actions.

There is a difference between hitting 7/10ths or 8/10ths on the street in situations that you are very familiar with, and engaging in illegal competitive activities on a public road that greatly endangers the lives of people around you.

Anyone who has ridden with me on the street is well aware of the fact that i know the line and i dont cross it - be it a double yellow or abstract.

As far as my references regarding the state of the top of twin peaks as a figure 8, i was born and raised in the city, and learned how to drive on that road... and if you were to see how i drive on that road, knowing the condition that the asphalt is in, you'd see that i dont have enough confidance in the variables to push it much past 7/10ths at the most... usually i'd be at 6/10ths...

so twist my words all you want, but fact is that nobody here has driven with me, ridden with me, or seen me do either. dont assume about my skills or self-control, please.

Relax dude, no one's trying to twist your words. That comment about racing experience just came across as really arrogant, and we all know what arrogance does to even the best of riders.

If you didn't mean it that way, then :twofinger to you and no hard feelings. :teeth
