    The MotoGP Thread

    Even if it just helps them hone in on what the V4 benefits are, and how it works/doesn’t work with their other attributes, it may be worthwhile.

    That’s huge.

    I’ve always thought he was one of the coolest interviews during his MotoGP days. Then he did Dakar and finished first on one stint. Amazing. Never followed him during his AMA days, so not sure what that was like. But he always seemed almost “child-like” in his enthusiasm for riding the bikes -...

    He has made a statement regarding “on purpose” comments online. Said it just wasn’t in his DNA to crash on purpose. I can’t imagine he would - especially considering MM didn’t need the help :) You make a good point about vision. Every rider knows that if they’re approaching a right hander, the...

    I agree with @ctk62 - pecco needs to stop throwing away points. My initial thought during replay was that I didn’t see anywhere for AM73 to go. He was already so close to the corner, and with the track as greasy/sandy as it was, hitting the brakes would have likely sent him straight - causing...

    The MotoGP Thread

    The quotes I read a while back from McGuiness about following Rossi were amazing. “Best lap time I’ve done around that track ever…”. From a guy who does 200mph through old ladies hedges and stone walls :)

    The MotoGP Thread

    This season is certainly playing out differently than my favorite/classic seasons - but still has enough to keep me hooked. It's interesting to watch the championship shift from being led by the outright fastest rider - to one that seems to be dominated by riders managing catastrophic...

    I think he’s staying for continuity and sponsorship. Sadly, the bike is so far off the pace that it probably makes more sense to have the rider with the most experience on the bike remain through the slow slog back towards the front.

    Looks like Rins resigned to Yamaha. He’s had a hell of a time the past few years. Hopefully he can get healthy and stay that way.

    The WorldSBK Thread

    In addition to what @NothingClever said, I also thing Miller has a bit of “everyman” that is appealing. He gives off a vibe of ‘I’m just like you, just insanely fast on a motorbike…’. Unfortunately, he has not been able to overcome his issues on multiple brands/bikes. The fact that he could...

    Agreed. I also think another focus needs to be consistency. I accept that many (if not all) incidents are unique, but there needs to be some sort of playbook to base/guide decisions on.

    A much needed change, and I think Simon will take on the new role with the seriousness it deserves. Here’s hoping he can turn around the impressions the riders currently have of the stewards!

    Looks like Ducati has announced that they’d like to put full factory support behind the team that competed at Suzuka. And they hope To have one of their MotoGP riders as the third team rider...

    Good Passing Vid: Ken Hill passing when bikes/riders are equal

    I randomly found his podcasts about a month ago. Definitely implemented some of the lessons into my last couple track days, and it helped a good bit. Certainly worth a listen.

    Despite the delays and shortened races, this year provided a ton of drama. It was also packed with firsts. James Hillier’s daily videos have offered a cool ‘behind the curtain’ view of a riders prep and experience at the TT. Also, Dave at Obsession engineering offered some cool insight from...

    2013 Ninja 300 Track/Race Bike

    Up for sale is my 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 track bike. $2800. This bike has been set up for track/race ONLY, it does NOT have a title. I bought this bike 2 years ago and have gone over it with a fine tooth comb. Before ever taking it to the track I rebuilt the top end (new jugs, cylinders...

    Agreed. He drove me nuts on MotoGP. But he’s far better now. Also decent at commentating IOMTT, although there too James Whitham is the man!
