MOTOGP » Rossi concludes test, new frame for San Marino


@the truth hurts, I saw your post that got deleted, something about hyped up something or other, and I don't remember seeing any praise. Then I saw where you were call me and Realist know it alls, telling people to stop SQUAWKING, and now telling people to butt out. Hmmmm. Maybe you should sign up and quit hiding. I also saw where you apologized and thought maybe you realized what you were doing. But then you started in again.

It is a crying shame that people like The truth hurts do everything in their power to ruin it for others. As you can see from his posts. It shows the validity of all his previous posts. In case you haven't seen what he is doing, he is spamming with nasty insults to the moderators and it looks like they are doing their best to delete them. I have been hitting newest and seen dozens of his inane posts come and go.

MOTOGP » Texas to be included on 2013 MotoGP calendar?


I hope they bring Texas on line. It would be a long ride from where I live but it would be fun. As for Indy and the comment about riders getting hurt, it is up to the riders not to ride over their head or the track conditions. As for Laguna, I have never missed a GP and before that never missed a Superbike since the early 80s. But I have to say the spectator accommodations are nothing short of appalling. Parking is a joke, especially motorcycle parking. There are few places on the track that you have any kind of a view, taking pictures is almost impossible. The hills to get to different parts of the track are just nasty. Traffic control is a joke, and worst of all the best thing about a GP used to be the venders, you could find all sorts of great stuff even from small vendors. Now it is so expensive for them to rent space 90% of little ones are gone. And oh yeah, the CHP and local police/sheriffs have a heyday on GP weekends. I have a feeling Texas at least would be a much better spec

MOTOGP » Rossi concludes test, new frame for San Marino


Of course it is the rider that makes all the difference. Race times for a slow rider on a competitive bike will be hampered by the rider. A fast rider on an uncompetitive bike will be hampered by the bike but not as much. The old ratio used to be 80% rider and 20% bike. Today with traction control, seamless shift gearboxes, etc. the new ratio is probably more like 60% rider 40% bike. So if the bike is 90% as good as the competition that 4% overall difference works out to seconds a lap.

MOTOGP » Rossi concludes test, new frame for San Marino


For the people going off the deep end here is a an excerpt from superbikePlanet in their Audi reorg post. " ....insiders suggest that Preziosi has basically been afforded tenure (ala Dr. T) at Ducati and the only way he'd leave is if he resigned. Preziosi recently had meetings with Masao Furusawa, the retired Yamaha engineer who built the M1 into a championship machine. The meetings must have been, in part, humbling for Preziosi, especially when Furusawa basically took a pencil and sketched out how a MotoGP bike is supposed to work...."
