Cassey testing V8 Supercars

So Sad

Ya right there bean , the white line got him in the end, you can say it was one of the other 2 bikes I suppose but its not there fault in the end its the line that got him.

they play with the line every corner, then out of know where the front goes and finds the line, and then the rear follows.

big price to pay for cold tyre, loss of grip, who knows. its all part of the game.

I have a bad habit when I ride I follow to close to the centre line on right hand corners , one day I'll meet a bike running wide or a truck running wide and it will be the end of me.

will need to stay in the wheel track a bit more, me thinks

One thing you might do, ethin14, is get MotoMan's Ride Like a Pro dvd and his Mean Streets group riding dvd and try practicing what he demonstrates and teaches.

We have a vastly different world on the street from the tragic accident that took Marco from us. Man, I used to laugh when he was interviewed, he was such a good guy with such a good sense of humor.

My mc is going to have 2 or 3 Saturdays when we set up a course as described in Mean Streets and Ride Like a Pro. Anyone that can't pass those tests will not be able to go on the long multi-day rides or on the more difficult (e.g., mostly mountain roads and tons of twisties) rides until they can.

That may seem harsh, but whereas Marco getting hit by the other two riders was a) unavoidable and b) just damn bad timing, an unskilled street rider is a danger to everyone near them every time they ride.

And I posit that some of you and probably myself would have difficulty with sections of MotoMan's course. I for one plan to work at it until I can do it all.

Thanks for that privateer, never to old to learn new tricks.
Will look into it

looks like a 21 rider grid for 2012!
2012 MotoGP grid

See if #5 can straighten out the front end or is it the rear end push?

21 is a good start but can't help but think its 3 classes in one race,6 factory GP,6 satilite GP and 9 CRT bikes

Hope it all sorts it self out

BMW and MR Edwards on a CRT will be interesting, hope he is the fastest of the CRT but he will need to watch Aprillia I think

It's really a good move for BMW. Edwards should be able to give them...Good feedback and they have the budget to work on the bike without taking shortcuts.

If he is on a CTR chassis... Forget it. This is like NASCAR's platform; use any engine, but here is base chassis spec frame, right?

CRT my read would be that the manufactures can build any chassi or buy any chassis they like, there not allowed to build the engine or own the team.

So = Forward Racing is the race team
Suter build the chassi
BMW will be the suppler of the stock 1000cc road bike engine
Edwards, the rider

Someone maybe Forward Racing will turn the stock Engine into a Motogp CRT race engine
Suter already build Motogp chassis so it maybe a joint venture
Bmw are not allowed any involvement other than chassi through suter

Would that be funny if Edwards wins a few dis year. One is enough candle power to shove that 'boy is getting old, why don't you quit' kind of embarrass the rr' factory frame to boot. Make it happen, Colin. He needs to be in a cast with out doctor's odorstinking up the mix, the rain coming down... Bingo! You know, 'The Colin Combination.'

he had a great race in the wet at Silverstone, they all nealy all froze to death, collar bone broke a week before and still got on the podium. would love to see him top of the CRT, and then get in to the bottom 6, of the GP bikes, the beamer people would be dancing in the streets. das ist goot

a win, will need to see them all show there cards a little in the tests over the next month or so to see what they got.

old or not he's still living the dream

The boys have come out to play in serpang, all the usual suspects, plus 2 new Kawasaki CRT bikes

I know its early days, but Hub ya need to get the magic wand out, team green needs a sprinkle of fairy dust, 9-10 seconds , make the a bucket load.

Stoner through his back out before he got on the bike, Duc is looking better

I wouldn't count out Rossi. He's a pile driver! Never gives up. The professor/foxy way to get the bike his way. I need to see 3 races going in to get a feel of who is hungry like the wolf. I'd go after Rossi still, but without that pre-shake them down. That too, means pit boss/crew.

For me to watch 4-time and how much it takes to make the bike settle in to a track all day... That means, the whole week, everyday, that is prep to race that lap or two, come in... Do this do that. We are grooming some kid I hope to see on that grid [roster].

The day we went out to pit for the kid, he came back with a win, a second, and shakedown to 8th. When he said he could not push it to know if the change was there, that says a lot for the kid. That suspension was being pushed on, jacked up, and he still came away with the goods.

So, for sure, we have a rider. I just need to sprinkle someone over at mother K for a one shot deal... See if they can get this kid on one... Where are the next Rossi's? Inn your own backyard! He/she needs a break. That, and some raw talent.

I already have the juice. I have a kid that broke the track record on a stock bike, no time but to plug it in and go.
I brought out 4-Time to check him out.
I have the rider/pit crew is the package.

You think I can get far from this addiction and here, I am handing a complete package, the dad to child. The pit of experience that jell. There it is... AS much as you think it is not there, I dare. So, what is lacking is a bike/spares/showcase K that it is not the bike. That we have a front runnerecord break her back is tea bone is begging for a bone is how you work the race game. Beg borrow steal their trophies! ADD DIE Tude... All for that one place...

If I can place the logo on the site, I'll try like chasing that championship I need did win! You know who won out dare, burb heart... Mother Teas POT of Gold!

Pay buy the rules! Slow we don't look the fools? HA! "Team Bus Wide OPEN" It's really anyone's race...

Eyes UP? I think I sprinkled Carlos before the races began. Is it coincidence or sprinkles LOL

There saying you need 107% of the Pole time to qualify for the start of the GP, at that rate most of the CRT boys will be in the stands eating hot dogs and crying in there beer, hiding from there sponsors.

All that money and didn't make the cut. will be a few rule changers yet I think.

Get Tyler out there, give him the green , can't be much slower.

Stoner will put a knife through there hearts, when he rips it up, then there 10 seconds may be 12

In a 30 lap race stoner will lap them at lap 20 or less

Hope they close the gap

thats cheatin checka had a 1098 against the 1000's, sprinkles or not its still not right.

Didn't you guys let harleys run with the japs doing the same thing, I remember a lot a bitchin going on awhile back.

aples and apples, there not the same unless they are the same.

Both Kawasaki bikes have engines blown up, 2 in 2 days

These guys need a new spanner man, not cool

I told you... BEN SPIES, I knew he was gna come back from his accident like it's nothing. Look at the last race... Would Stoner would have gone pass him if the Yam was a little better... Tough call?!
I'm watching him and Cal. If they can keep their bikes on the shiny side, the top guys are going to see some real competition.
I have doubt about Lorenzo. As for Rossi. I agree with Hub, I would have to see a couple of races. The interview I read didn't sound too promising though.

looks like the duc is heading in the right direction, Bens doin a great job, will be a lot tighter this year.

Stoner will still be hard to beat for poll, but there's a lot close by picking up the scraps, will need to be very consistant in 2012
