Title: OK, So It's a Bit Corny... Post by: desmoquattro on June 04, 2009, 08:03:26 AM (http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v4415/87/15/589624223/n589624223_2794538_6599435.jpg)
But getting to sit on an actual 2008 MotoGP bike was pretty cool. The cockpit wasn't all that cramped. The bars were super wide (you need leverage to turn a machine like that at 100mph+), and the pegs weren't as high as I thought they would be. Title: Re: OK, So It's a Bit Corny...

I also noticed how obvious the pit lane speed governor buttons were. Huge green & red buttons on the right clip-on. Another observation at Miller: the pit lane entrance is like 1/2 mile long...those guys kept bumping the rev limiter on entrances ;D Title: Re: OK, So It's a Bit Corny...

Of course I keed. Interesting to see what a human looks like on one of those things. Title: Re: OK, So It's a Bit Corny... Post by: johnc on June 04, 2009, 09:56:57 AM Looks a little top heavy.

(come on, _somebody_ had to!) big (I't probably just an '06 R1 with an exhaust and a sticker kit...) Title: Re: OK, So It's a Bit Corny...

It wasn't. They had a Fiat livery R6 nearby, but this was a real '08 M1...complete with carbon rotors, gas-charged forks, etc. |
