MOTOGP » Nakano to get factory Honda at Brno

I'm beginning to think not many (prolific and guest) here have ever riden a motorcycle much less raced one

Being able to adjust seat, pegs, bars, and the like are for rider comfort - not performance or riding style. : Raw Dawg

Rider comfort? You think those machines are made comfortable? I read somewhere, sorry can't remember where, that if a bike (or racing car) is comfortable something has gone wrong with the design.

The bolt on's allow the rider to change the basic bike to suit their riding style as much as possible, and to change the way it reacts. (Oh and a Rossi / Hayden / Toesland fan - so not having a go at Hayden here)

Whats a motorbike?

Not saying the bikes are comfortable but do you think Hayden can ride Pedrosa's bike with his personal settings? Do you think Val can ride Jorge's bike with his peg and bar positions? Maybe - but it will be umcomfortable as hell! But really, do you even own a bike? Have you ever ridden? Have you almost ever **** your pants when the front end goes vague or slides? Do you believe changing the bars or pegs position helps with front end feel or helps the rear spin up or get more traction? Of course you have no idea.

I guess all Melandri has to do is adjust his pegs and bars and he'll be a winner on the Ducati!

Guest, Hayden has never ever won a race in Germany, so what the **** are you on about?

Oh yeah, I see it now, you meant Assen, which is in HOLLAND. Well you can't even spell Hayden's name right, so that doesn't surpise me your knowledge is lacking. And you say you can't call the win in ASSEN, HOLLAND a win, I'll think you'll find he crossed the line first..............

LOL, good one Dawg

Prolific - Here are some basic terms you can use instead of foot peg height to make yourself look smart.

preload
rebound damping
compression damping
static sag
tail

Pam whats unsprung weight

mass not suspended - like wheels, tyres, etc.

Thanks Pam, should I change the air in my tyres regularly to stop it going stale and affecting the handling
