lap timers part 2...who wants a group buy

[dungbeetle]

so whos after one...ill put my hand up!!:D
lets get a group buy goin and see if we can get a discount...
http://laptimerholders.com/proddetail.asp?prod=TG12V


dungbeetle....paid
Kat00
mono....paid
pan...paid
vinnie...paid
jordan...paid
sin....paid


just realkised...all those numbers are in us dollars to...ill convert them this arvo when i get home....
thats cool zippa and matt.....

TG 6v w/Beacon = $207.95.....$258.77aus

TG 6v w/o Beacon = $187.95...$233.89aus

TG 12v w/Beacon = $274.95...$342.15aus

TG 12v w/o Beacon = $254.95...$317.26

plus $15....$18.67aus for the fork holders each. plus a share of shipping. ive decided that ill get them all shipped to me and then bring them with me on the 25th march track day. that way it will save everyone a few bux on shipping. if ya want it before then i can ship it to ya for around 5 bux at a guess.
im thinking if we ad $5...$7aus to each one that should cover shipping from the states to here....
so the run down is. pick the one ya want up the top, add $15 for the fork mount holder, and $5 for shipping. remember we can all run off the one transponder so we wont all need to buy one with a trans.


you guys will have to work out ya totals...ill put the list at the start of the post to....

[MATTK6]

i'll let you know either tommorow or sat if i'm in for one dungy, just waiting on the bank now mate.

[Zee]

I don't know.........what am I gonna tell the misses when she doesn't need to do the timing. She'll get even more bored and then won't wanna come.

Does it come with an IR transmitter?

I guess I'll need the fork mountie thing too. :ayyy:

[daz]

Are these the same as Bigdogs, Dungie? If so I'm in! + I want one of those coooool fork mounted holders!

Mono yeah they are the same...

Oddly enough most people I see have the XT timers not the Mychron ones...

XT ones have a single AA battery mounted in the receiver and the one battery should last your 6 months+ of use (my last battery went flat due to strange circumstances but I understand a battery should last a seasons worth of racing without worry)

Also for $245us you get the transmitter beacon + the USB cable so you can download to your computer

Or alternatively you can purchase the battery powered Mychron one for $207 with 2 "coin" style batteries

...I mean sure having a timer hard wired to the bike will mean it should always work but I'd consider some slightly cheaper options too guys :thinking:

[_chado77]

i'd be more interested in a battery operated one(can swap between bikes etc)..not to concerned bout battery life as long as a set lasts a day thats good nuff for me..

[Zee]

Here's some more info........take note of multiple transmitters fix.

Kawasaki guy did this earlier this year and the minimum buy was 10 units @ AU$350 each

Battery operated seems the way to go........no mucking about with wiring.

[dungbeetle]

yeh i like hard wired to...and ive seen doggys and it looks trik and works good...
hard wiring will take all of 5 mins...if anyone needs a hand doin it, im alweays available with soldering iron and solder at track days!!!
so id like to stik with the one i did the link to....gets to complicated if people want all different stuff...
just interested in whos keen, then ill email them and see what they can do...


o and yeh i want the fork mounted holder and a transponder as well. so ill chase up the whole package...

[daz]

My current one is a battery operated one & It doesn't work too well! (Not saying yours doesn't work either Daz), but the problem stems from the TX output ability because it is battery 9v battery operated!

What is your current one?

See the thing is the receiver really doesn't require any great amount of power hence a battery receiver should work just as well as a powered one

I think if you've been having troubles its more likely to be because the transmitter was running off small batteries rather than a proper power supply

The only troubles I've had with mine was at EC and that was because I had mounted the receiver upside down :mod_smilie_rockwoot

But yeah whatever works guys! I guess I agree if you've got a pure track bike then yeah sure a hard wired timer is a good idea

[pan]

I'm in!
Let me know what you decide is best, and who/when to pay...

[MadHatter]

Yeah i'm in..

[MadHatter]

Yeah doggies looks trick, we know it works too!

[VINNIE]

I'm in just let me know $$$$$$$$ and when

[Jordan]

Can you put me down as a definite maybe. I would love one. Just need to know the price. Thanks
Jordan

[Jordan]

would like one of those fork mounts aswell

[Zippa]

Same as Jordan guys, interested but will need to know the dollars figure before MOF/W allows purchase.:mad:

Package deal wih fork mount seems to be the go. Have never used an on bike timer before.

How do they work Alex?? :clap:

Just kidding:thumbsup:

[Wardy]

Whats wrong with using a mobile phone or stopwatch????

You guys are way too professional for me....

[Kat00]

How do they work Alex?? :clap:

Just kidding:thumbsup:



:lmao:

[dungbeetle]

How do they work Alex?? :clap:

Just kidding:thumbsup:


bwahahahahahah you dont really want me to go thru all that agaion do ya mate!!!:D

[dungbeetle]

have i already said that i emailed the guy just now about a price for a bunch of us....
ive had a little to drink so i may have already said this...i dunno...
but i got the missus to proof read the email befiore i sent it so it musta made sense...

[dungbeetle]

i could have sworn i put this thread in the track days section...but anyway its here now!!!

[Kat00]

Thats a diffrent guy Alex.

I never had a problem dealing with him,unsure of what problems others may have had


Which Guy are you talkin about Revin and which guy is Dungy talkin about.:confused1:

Are there some posts missing:confused1:

[dungbeetle]

Which Guy are you talkin about Revin and which guy is Dungy talkin about.:confused1:

Are there some posts missing:confused1:


there wasnt before but there is now...all is sorted everyone. we will go with the guy doggy used as he is a known quantity...sorry for the confusion...:eyecrazy:

[Zee]

Any news on the availability of those lap timers Dungy?? Or isn't the guy going to give a group discount.

[MadHatter]

just count in your head

[Yella]

is it to late to get in on this

[dungbeetle]

im sorry guys. i have emailed the guy and he is still waiting for an email from the makers of the timer to see if we can order them without the transponder to make it cheaper. ill email him again now and try to find out whats goin on...think we will save a few bux. but if your in a hurry ya prolly should order it yaself...

[dungbeetle]

ok he got back to me today...price for the timer is $254.95. a saving of $20 without the transponder. the fork holder clamp is $15 and shipping will vary depending on how many we order but wouldnt be more than $20. this is all in u.s. dollars so add about 25% to the total. say $290us comes to about $360aus.
so whos keen. ill send him a number and get a shipping quote...then collect cash and pay him..

[VINNIE]

I'm in just let me know when

[dungbeetle]

TG 6v w/Beacon = $207.95

TG 6v w/o Beacon = $187.95

TG 12v w/Beacon = $274.95

TG 12v w/o Beacon = $254.95
plus $15 for the fork holders each. plus a share of shipping. ive decided that ill get them all shipped to me and then bring them with me on the 25th march track day. that way it will save everyone a few bux on shipping. if ya want it before then i can ship it to ya for around 5 bux at a guess.
im thinking if we ad $5 to each one that should cover shipping from the states to here....
so the run down is. pick the one ya want up the top, add $15 for the fork mount holder, and $5 for shipping. remember we can all run off the one transponder so we wont all need to buy one with a trans.
guess i better pm everyone to aye...

[pan]

I'm in, but don't know which one. :thinking:


TG 6v w/Beacon = $207.95

TG 6v w/o Beacon = $187.95

TG 12v w/Beacon = $274.95

TG 12v w/o Beacon = $254.95

Can you briefly tell me the difference?
Is 6V battery powered?
Do we need a beacon for it to work?
What other features do they have?
Can a GPS unit do this sort of stuff? (I'm guessing not)

[dungbeetle]

sorry didnt think of an explanation pan...but it is necesary...
the 6volt ones are battery powered. the 12v are hard wired...
you need a beacon for it to work, but all will work from one beacon, so if one of the group has a beacon, then the rest of us dont need one. hence im not gonna get one cause doggy has one and he is usually at the same track days as me...
theres a link at the start that will tell ya all the features...
and yes i think a gps can, tho i dont know much about them...

[VINNIE]

I'll have a 12v sucker with Transponder (beacon:lmao: ) + a holder for an R1 (48mm?)
PM me your account details Dungie so I can stick the money in OK. When you get it, I want to pick it up from you. I want it installed & ready to go for the 25th!:mod_smilie_rockwoot

I have what he is having:stupid: but in stead of the mount for his R1 i'll have one with a mount for a ZX9R ???mm

[pan]

What Vinne said!

Only I don't need mine for the 25th, so I'll pick it up whenever we get together...

Oh, and the mount for a Busa please.

[dungbeetle]

ok guys keep the orders coming. im writing all this down...
pan and vinnie...do you both want transponders to?

[Kat00]

I'll have a 12v sucker with Transponder (beacon:lmao: ) + a holder for an R1 (48mm?)

:stupid:


I was thinkin when I read this yesterday :wtf1: is a beacon, I thought I'd let some other poor bastard ask for the explanation :lmao:

[Bigdog]

I suggest you guys measure the diameter of the top of your forks so the mounting bracket can be easily ordered and will fit your bike.

[pan]

Is a transponder and a beacon the same thing Dungie?

[VINNIE]

ok guys keep the orders coming. im writing all this down...
pan and vinnie...do you both want transponders to?

Don't worrie Dungy i understood ya and yes i will have the one with the becon er..er..er..sorry transponder:lmao:

[pan]

Ditto

[dungbeetle]

yup transponder...beacon...transmitter...the thing ya put on the side of the track!!!:D

[pan]

Thanks Dungie. I'll get one too, that way I can practice lapping around Marrickville too!

[Bigdog]

When you get them make sure you put the receiver on the right hand side of your bike. We have found a good spot on the outside of the track at Eastern Creek to put the transponder and at Oran park you can stick the bugger on pit wall.

[Zippa]

Thanks for the effort Al but Im going to pass on this. Happy just to get to the track when I can & later on going to fit a digital temp gauge, lap timer etc thingy to the Cibbie ......maybe. unless I upgrade to something newer & faster.:mod_smilie_rockwoot

[MATTK6]

hey dungy, mate i'd love to be able tpo say yeah, put me in, but the bank balance says no

[dungbeetle]

just realkised...all those numbers are in us dollars to...ill convert them this arvo when i get home....
thats cool zippa and matt.....

TG 6v w/Beacon = $207.95.....$258.77aus

TG 6v w/o Beacon = $187.95...$233.89aus

TG 12v w/Beacon = $274.95...$342.15aus

you guys will have to work out ya totals...ill put the list at the start of the post to....

[Falco]

Dungy, i need a fork mount only for the R6. I will get the verniers out and post up what size.
champion effort on this whole deal by the way :ayyy:

[dungbeetle]

no worries falco

[Jordan]

just a quick question... when are you placing the order. just gotta try and sort out the funds. Jordan

[dungbeetle]

as soon as i get some cash. i havent got enuf credit left on my visa to cover it!!:(
but it will be in the next couple weeks. i want them here before 25th march.

[dan_baker71]

i use a $18 stopwatch from dick smith ductaped to my tank, it remembers 50 laps, good cheaper alternative to a laptimer with transponder etc. at the creek i start/stop it at start of pit wall each lap, as the finish line is too close to turn 1 to press button then turn safely

[Falco]

50mm Mychron TG 12v bracket mount only thanks Dungy.
Let me know how much, all up with postage and payment details.
Thanks again budd. :ayyy:

[Falco]

i want them here before 25th march.

Any chance of getting them before 5th March?;)

[dungbeetle]

fukken hope so shane. seeing there is such a lack of interest now, ill make the cut off date by the end of this week.
im waiting to hear back from zee, chaddo and yella. and jordan is a definate maybe!!!
ill pm everyone again.

[Zee]

Sorry Dungy, you didn't have me on the interested list in the beginning so I assumed you knew my response.

I'm out of this one, but thanks for chasing up the info. :ayyy:

[dungbeetle]

yup no worries shane...i was hoping it was a good price still. feel bad about asking for extra dollars as they ended up costing $397.50 each!!!

Dungy, I still owe you money. Can you PM me how much and remind me how to pay you please?

Also, I saw a bloke on a CBR at EC the other day with a little stop watch above his clutch lever... liked the idea of having an uncomplicated lap timer...

Any ideas where you get them?

I may consider downgrading from my super one and selling my newie to anyone who missed out... (not sure though):confused1:

[dungbeetle]

hahaha yeh stop watch is a pita!!!
fix me up next time i see ya mate....or give it to ya mate who is picking up the timer opn the 25th...did ya pay 380 or370??

[Turtle]

Thanx Buddy ...

[dungbeetle]

actually i dont need to...these were the prices i got last time. they may have gone up but i dont know...
TG 6v w/Beacon = $207.95
TG 6v w/o Beacon = $187.95
TG 12v w/Beacon = $274.95
TG 12v w/o Beacon = $254.95
all in us dollars...the holders were another $15us on top plus shipping on top of that....it all comes to around the $400au mark. will prolly be a few bux more by now....
so i reckon you would be better off buying them here...for the few extra bucks ya know ya gonna get them, and warrenty is a lot easier to claim if ya need it!!

How many people have transmitters? Would be cool to arrange a split timing set up..

[kellz]

we have spoken about that at op before.. would be cool to see were you can improve like first 6 corners or last 6 :D

[Dezerteagle]

I don't quite get it though, can you have too many transmitters? Then you set your 'ignore lap time' too close to your laptimes and then its off because there is a transmitter you're unaware of between your tru lap time and 'ignore lap time', since you start picking up another persons transmitter which you weren't aware of meaning your laptimes are lower?

A mate was telling me on the weekend he saw another transmitter between T3 and T4 on the grass and another one on pit wall outside Pit 1. I think there are heaps out there on the day we/you aren't aware of!

I don't know, does that make sense to anyone? haha

[kellz]

we usualy only set one up as they all run off that one transponder..

but at ec its hard to get it to read so we place 2 so the bikes can pick up either one they are usually mounted on different sides so one will pick up on the right and the next on the left so technically u only reading one transponder..

[Dezerteagle]

BUT other people (who aren't RATS) set up their own transmitters on the day too, how do you know you aren't picking up their signals?

[jasonbw]

If you set your min laptime to be a couple of seconds under your consistent laptime then your safe, in the case of a transponder up the pitwall being within a second of yours then worst case it would only do that potentially for one lap... since it'll start ignoring your transponder... go mostly by your consistent laptimes and all will be good.

Or just dob on the other guys :)

[kellz]

ahhhh got ya now..


at a track day thats always a gamble you have to take..
but so far we havent had any issues..

[lilninja]

just rang a guy in camden who sells them, he's gonna give me a call back as to how much and also if you can just buy the timer section, as there is always an abundence of transponders out there! would anyone here have a problem with doing it that way?

[Dezerteagle]

I see I see.

I guess I'm just curious and asking questions cause I've never done it. I'm sure it all works out fine, that's why you guys do it!

Well I have a Mychron TG but yet to fit / play around with it.

[kellz]

ask away..
something i guess u dont really think about if your getting good times lol..

ec is just hard to find a good pick up point as u have to be discreet in where u put the transponder

[lilninja]

OK he just rang me back and said he can do them for $470 pretty $$$ he also said he would be willing to knock $100 to $150 off the price if we just wanted the timer but he would only do it for one or two!

[kellz]

that sounds fair...

yeh id imagine he wouldnt wanna be left with a stack of transponders...

[jasonbw]

Cool... like you said theres always transponders (well, nearly always)... $320 for the laptimer.. outstanding !!! Is this the AIM one ?

[jasonbw]

yeh id imagine he wouldnt wanna be left with a stack of transponders...

ARDC don't seem to mind having a stack of them in their upstairs office :)

[kellz]

lol no they dont do they jason... :lmao:

[lilninja]

like I was saying earlier, cant afford one at the moment but Its the Aim Mychron light, its the same one as dungy and Bigdog use!

[jasonbw]

Fantastic price, thats the same as what I have.. I love it !

[Zee]

I don't quite get it though, can you have too many transmitters? Then you set your 'ignore lap time' too close to your laptimes and then its off because there is a transmitter you're unaware of between your tru lap time and 'ignore lap time', since you start picking up another persons transmitter which you weren't aware of meaning your laptimes are lower?

A mate was telling me on the weekend he saw another transmitter between T3 and T4 on the grass and another one on pit wall outside Pit 1. I think there are heaps out there on the day we/you aren't aware of!

I don't know, does that make sense to anyone? haha

Always have a backup timer....the misses :ayyy:

And about spilt timing transmitters, don't they send a different frequency to distinguish them from the start/end of lap transmitter??

[lilninja]

no its a universal signal as far as i am aware!

[jasonbw]

Good point Zee, there was something in the manual about the White transponder being only a start/finish one... there may be some other colour for splits ?

[Bigdog]

Yes you are correct Jason, you have to buy the red transmitters to get splits from different points aound the track.

[Marcus]

^^ I have seen the red ones for the AIM?

[Turtle]

just rang a guy in camden who sells them, he's gonna give me a call back as to how much and also if you can just buy the timer section, as there is always an abundence of transponders out there! would anyone here have a problem with doing it that way?

The only prob with that Damo, is if you go out there (EC) or somewhere else and there are no RATS or any other transponders....

[dungbeetle]

so just do trackdays with us turtle:D

[jasonbw]

OMG.. thats embarrassing... I have no style !!!

[Turtle]

so just do trackdays with us turtle:D

Cant wait.......got an email from the dude on the south coast, he knows you're looking into them, he wants to know what price we get ????? Do you talk to him ??

[Turtle]

Do you have any interested yet ???? I'm a definate ..:)

[dungbeetle]

i havent heard back fromt he guy in the states yet....and i dunno the guy on the south coast...but the guy in the states was onyl knocking off $20 for buying it without a transponder....not sure what they are worth tho...
there is always someone around with a transponder....

[Turtle]

For the extra cost you might as buy it then you have a set ??

[VINNIE]

Hey Dungy can you get me one of those beacon's my transponder is stuffed :D


I highly recommend AIM timers they are functional and as Dungy said they look pruuuutty

[Turtle]

Hey Dungy can you check up on that guy from the states and see what he can do, i wont be back till Monday from the Snow so i'll check the posting then.

Thanx Matee.

[jasonbw]

I'll write, Dungys moving house I hear so might be easier if we pitch in.

[Turtle]

Thanx Speedy........you womens man you ........

[jasonbw]

speedy.. I am not fast. I have NO style and women all (correctly) believe I'm horrid! And most of all, my little finger is useless! but I guess at least I'm a RAT :) :) :)

[jasonbw]

actually i dont need to...these were the prices i got last time. they may have gone up but i dont know...
TG 6v w/Beacon = $207.95
TG 6v w/o Beacon = $187.95
TG 12v w/Beacon = $274.95
TG 12v w/o Beacon = $254.95
all in us dollars...the holders were another $15us on top plus shipping on top of that....it all comes to around the $400au mark. will prolly be a few bux more by now....
so i reckon you would be better off buying them here...for the few extra bucks ya know ya gonna get them, and warrenty is a lot easier to claim if ya need it!!

Just forming the email now, which one of these do you want a price for Turtle?

[Marcus]

So 6v is battery and 12v needs to be hard wired in?

[jasonbw]

I'd only guess... best to hop onto google... it sounds right though

[jasonbw]

OK yes, taken from the link Zee posted for us:
http://www.aimsportsystems.com.au/mychron_light_bike.html

[lilninja]

yeah i thinkall the guys go for the 12v as you dont have to worry about you battery goin flat and losing your recorded PB,
As far as not having a transponder at the track, I dont get to a heap of trackdays so the ones I do go to are RATS ones!

[jasonbw]

I'm not sure youd feel that way if you bought one.. after the day is over, you know your times and what you did to get them so its no benefit having them in memory. Plus theres so many crap readings from out and in laps, and times when the transponder wouldnt work in sessions etc that clearing it out is quite... calming :)

[dungbeetle]

ok i have a reply from the guy in the states so dont worry about emailing jason
he cant ship them here any more anyway!! here it is


Hi Alex,



I wanted to let you know that we’re not going to be able to send anymore AIM lap timers to Australia. AIM has an agreement with its distributors and we aren’t allowed to ship to Australia anymore because there is already a distributor there.



I do have good news though. We now have a distributor for our holders in Australia so you can get them directly from the dealer. The dealer contact information is:

[jasonbw]

Good on you!! I'll call em now and post up prices. Zee said hes in Corrimal, which is beside my home suburb :)

[jasonbw]

Got some info.. if its a group buy (i.e. a fair few numbers) then no worries getting to a price like what we had on the last group buy.

If its for one or just a few, then its RRP only of $475 (example being the full 12v kit with transponder) and you can buy that at the bike shops.

So post up if your keen on buying and I can organising a group buy if there are sufficient numbers.

Also, this guy stocks 5 different bracket sizes, so people who got in on the last group buy but got the wrong bracket size (Zee?) you can get those brackets for around the $35 mark from Ron.

JasonBW

[lilninja]

I would but just plain out dont have the money ATM but if I get this job Ill buy it as a congrats present to myself, saying tht I have a lap timer built into my bike so i could just use that but I always forget to press the button!:cursing:

[Turtle]

I'm only down for one if the price goes a lot lower.... I can get one from the states heaps cheaper...already sussed it out...about $400 with bracket.

[Turtle]

Is that from Ron ??? I got a price of $399 if we buy 3....and $39 for the Brackets...

[Zee]

Yeap thanks Jbw. As you guys know, I bought mine off pan. Obviously the Busa mounting bracket is to big for the smaller diametre 03 CBR600RR forks. I mounted mine in a different location anyway, so I don't need a bracket.
