Gave my Akuma an expensive make over last night so its crying out to hit the streets.
Thing is, I used to love bike races but kind of lost the habit and the knack, now my beast is the boss of me rather than the other way round.
In order to put me back in charge and get the animal back on its leash I'm gonna put a street bike specific playlist together.
Races need to be restricted specifically to bikes, like Morning Permawood and my own Crotch RRRocket. I know there is a few other RRR creations that fit the bill but a) to save me from missing any and b) in case there's any good ones out in the wild, I'm open for recommendations.
Pretty sure there's a bunch of us that'll be into running this list.

I doubt this is the type of playlist you had in mind lol but i put a few tracks in a playlist together today and me,Skoader,Rage and Ricky raced them all with bikes, except the last track was Mo's Zancudo Drag race with Supers. I don't know about the others but i liked it. I can't work out how to post the playlist so i'll just list the tracks.... Go Fast, Turn Left. rsg.ms/1eKLAehGo Karting III. rsg.ms/1eKQ7gBNin Ninngg. rsg.ms/1f9VGWMTrailer Trouble. rsg.ms/1eKR0WCCrotch RRRocket. rsg.ms/1eKR8p3Zancudo NOS Drag Race. rsg.ms/1eKRegvIt works well, as long as you aren't expecting precision racing and you like sweaty hands that is lol i was on edge for most of it, and on the floor for the rest |

Haha! No, it's not quite what I had in mind. Looks erm... challenging. Nice to see my own creation in someone else's playlist, even if it only picked up 1 extra like, but hey, no dislikes- result!
Did look at your moto-x one but I'm thinking it's dirt bikes? Want to keep mine street so I can really get into the man/machine oneness...
I'm thinking my track, WickedMisery has a couple, couple of R* ones and hopefully a couple of others from the RRR collection, don't know if they're there tho. Possibly me and my bro will make another one each. 7 or 8 races should do it. Don't want it to be too overboard on tracks with lots of tight alleys and turns but part of me really wants to exclude tracks you can run a car on.
Just got to think of a witty yet descriptive title....

ill be honest, having raced vinewood rum on motorbikes once or twice i actually prefer taking a crotch rocket round that track than a car... give it a spin and see what you think... its foooooking awesome as you seem to retain the traction in the up and down sections, but can get really tight leans in the corners cos your on a bike... it makes it quite a thrilling ride and its hellishly fast...

I do have a road bike track but it's nothing like Crotch RRRocket. It's mainly for close racing and speed, if you keep the racing line you only really have to brake once each lap

One of my own Cuz - Dock Heads Also be wary of my Go Kart races I have finally managed to complete 5 but my naming of them is bogus, I have 3 go karting 3 track for some reason #blametheTHC  I'm gonna name the right tonight, but you didn't take a bike around any Go kart track ?? as I locked them all to Bifta's, Caddy's or Issi's ?? Unless you managed to play my unpublished heap of shit one ?? if so delete from the play list NAO !, you will know as the CP's are awful and its based in the graveyard, the others were smoothed over last night just need someone to test them with now. |

Just checked your link, that Go Kart track isn't too bad, but a little boring ? My personal fave is in the Golf course, awesome natural jumps from the bunkers with a couple of man made ones to boot, plus being on grass make the Bifta a bit more twitchy and IMO more fun to drive  |

I agree with you Nitty the golf course one is my fave as well that was the one i meant to add lol Easy mistake when they both have the same name  Them little go kart races would be a lot better if the Bifta was a bit slimmer imo |

Swifty, that sounds fine to me. If every race was like mine it would do my head in. I just polished off another bike only race that I'd started the other week (my 4yo has lost interest in race testing and moved back to Lego Batman, slowed me down a bit), it's a very different track, PtP with a big freeway stretch and a touch of offroad. Needs a few tweaks still.
Dock Heads, Don. Bike only? I'm still thinking I want that as a prerequisite for some reason, maybe because it stops me having to consider a ton of races and narrow it down.
I've seen it, I know that much. New the other day wasn't it?
Need links to both your races as I've already scrolled thru 300 of RRRs and I'm not doing it again. Stupid thing resetting itself all the time, never did see the 70 odd lowest liked ones.
Edit. Got yours Swifty. And yours Don. Adding both, will run em later.
Vinewood Rum Mo, done it on bikes and yeah, it's a thrill. Already in the 'best of' list and I'm sure I'll see plenty of time on it outside of this.

It’s kind of cool to see one of my races in someone’s playlist! Thanks swifty. I made A Dam Good Race specifically for bikes. It’s a long lap and of course the section around the reservoir is all dirt. It kept me on my toes when I tested it! I haven’t had a chance to race it with others. This one is a nice mix of high speed and technical. Grapeseed Down UnderLearning Curve is a great race on bikes. Greenwich Meantime is also a good one. Although I may be biased on that since it’s the only race I’ve won against a room of RRR, lol. |

Actually, I was considering a race up there myself a little while ago, then I saw yours and thought... er... Dam. Beaten to it, lol. Grapeseed. I like the look of that. Is it restricted to bikes? If so, I'll try it out. Well, I'll add it to my game anyway tbh but if not, mmmm, just me being purist about it. I think I've got enough for a good list already see. Think I've got 7 RRR bike races atm and my Bro said he'd like to make another. Main thing with the R* ones is that they're not specifically bike but also because they're very familiar. GM is in my other main list as it's one of my best tracks. |

List test complete then, a few issues to sort out. Would like to hone it so people enjoy every race, so feedback from participants would be great.
I'll post what I'd like to change tomorrow... Well, later today it turns out.

Yeah it was Bifta's, you couldn't get round that track on a bike with the killer ramps lol. I'd been leaving custom off when it was available and if there was a choice chose bikes apart from the last race, yours was the only race with a set class that wasn't bikes so it isn't broke it's def set to Bifta's sorry m8  |

Right. So Swiftys one 1st, Wreck-A-Mended happy with that. Good opener I think. Wickedmiserys Road Rash - Motorcycle Ed Unfortunately has that big jump at the end that spoils it. If he removes it then I'd be keeping it in but until that happens, it has to come out. I'll temporarliy replace it with a R* one, Morning Permawood maybe. Will ponder opening it to tracks that aren't bike specific in order to vary the list a bit more. TBCs Pillbox Hill GP is perfect. If you don't get slammed off at the start that is  Wickedmiserys Boardwalk Stroll was just too hard for me, I didn't enjoy it at all. Will only leave it in if people think it's worth keeping. My Crotch RRRocket is open to editing. Mo pointed out one of the respawns is off so I'll change that. I did take a number of risks with the course so I'm happy to rewrite sections of it if people feel I've gone too far in places. The main parts I would imagine would be the jump onto LSC, the spiral tunnel that drops thru a car park and the alley/jump choice at the skatepark. The track is easily rerouted past any of those. Do feel it might benefit from a longer fast section. Indeed, any of the alleys can be bypassed but I don't want to make it too easy Dons Dock Heads I need to run again, it was too mental for me to form any detailed opinion on it. I'm pretty sure I like it and am happy to keep it. My Leg it! The freeway section is a bit long for my liking but the joke is lost without the start and end points, lol. Really it's just designed for everyone to wind down with a full speed blast together and a suitable finish line to end the list on. Obviously need to adjust the final CP because I barrelled into the jump, fell off, had to respawn and lost 1st place. Can't be having that! I'll move the point so you finish on the jump rather than on the take off. Think I need to do something with the corner after the tunnel too because it's so easy to just fly off there. Or leave it and take advantage  Also, I didn't particularly want to add a dirt bike race but if it's a good idea to break it up with one then I guess I'll consider it... |

Will do. I did enjoy it.
Should get some time on tonight, I've not gotta get up in the morning. I'll make a few tweaks and run it again if I can.

Edited the list, updated my 2 races, added a 3rd and put my favourite bike only R* one in, (in brief windows of connectivity  ) Wickedmisery's is now free of the finish jump glitch. My long PtP has also had that issue sorted, you now finish whether you hit the jump or ride it. Crotch RRRocket has had a few CPs addressed, I've also deleted the 1st alley in favour of an easier one not much further on and taken a slightly different roite to accommodate it. Think it has a better flow now but it's still a challenge, of course. Playlist is here- Bike Off!
Includes these races in this order- Wreck-A-Mended

Road Rash - Motorcycle Ed.

Internet is too ballsed for me to remain in an online session atm but I can get enough connectivity to play with the creator. So I've made yet another bike race.
Is 9 races too many for the list? Considering 4 of them would be mine.... They're all quite different from each other, its maybe worth pointing out.
2 of em are 1.10 laps so could be made quite short....

Either no news is good news or its a case of if you can't say anything good...
I see that the tracks have at least 1 more like on em so someone was happy. Couple of dislikes tho. So, any issues or changes? Positive or negatives?
May swap out the last race for a new creation.
Come on gents, don't leave me hanging.....
