Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: zooom on July 08, 2011, 06:29:49 AM Not the best track for the Duc. NOPE...my expectation is to see a good dogfight with Marco and Max...and if Laverty can get a good set-up/feeling, maybe he can scoop up the benefits from them pissing with each other!

Lanzi rode his satellite BMW in this session. Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: MadDuck on July 08, 2011, 08:46:34 AM Not the best track for the Duc. True, but still the first two off the front are Ducs at this time. This is what I love about WSBK. You never know until the race is on!

You never know until the race is on! I don't think we can count any qualifying time by Smrz as indicative of race pace. What he lacks in vowels makes up in the ability to go batshit fast for one lap.

Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: gm2 on July 08, 2011, 09:23:22 AM wonder when the mole is going to give up the ghost
Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: zooom on July 08, 2011, 10:44:22 AM wonder when the mole is going to give up the ghost when Capirossi signs a contract to take his ride from him for next year... Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: MadDuck on July 08, 2011, 08:37:15 PM I don't think we can count any qualifying time by Smrz as indicative of race pace. What he lacks in vowels makes up in the ability to go batshit fast for one lap. Didn't Smrz lead for a whole bunch of laps a few races back? Understandably the exception rather than the rule. Even the commentators were impressed for a while.

[laugh]
Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: Triple J on July 10, 2011, 08:17:50 PM Those were 2 great races!! [bow_down]
Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: fastwin on July 11, 2011, 06:09:37 AM When does WSBK not rock? It's sad that MotoGP only does occasionally. It's like rain around here. It only comes every few months... like a good MotoGP race. [bang] :P
I can't believe I am saying this but the Mid-Ohio AMA/DMG races were good this weekend too. Did I actually just say that? ??? Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: OT on July 11, 2011, 09:01:04 AM I can't believe I am saying this but the Mid-Ohio AMA/DMG races were good this weekend too. Did I actually just say that? ??? [thumbsup] There's something about 4 or 5 bikes whipping around a track within a foot of each other lap after lap that holds one's attention... Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: gm2 on July 11, 2011, 10:22:27 AM the DSB races are always freakin awesome
Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: fastwin on July 11, 2011, 01:57:34 PM All of them were. DSB and SBK. I've said it before, I pissed and moaned the loudest about the all DMG/AMA bs to the point I was starting to sound like Mladin! [laugh] But I have to say the racing has been damn good. I'll have to go find something new to piss and moan about. ;D
Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: Spidey on July 12, 2011, 09:52:34 AM Remember when Hondas could go fast?
I hate that Aprilia. It's just stupid. >:( When is BMW going to pull their head out of their collective ass and switch to the electronics that everyone else is using? Idiots. Go Carlos. [thumbsup] It's so painful watching him get his ass handed to him on the straights. He's riding the fack outta that bike and getting nowhere.

[thumbsup] It's so painful watching him get his ass handed to him on the straights. He's riding the fack outta that bike and getting nowhere. i really really want checa to win too... he just seems like he deserves it. and i really want to see what he can do with the new bike next year... hope it'll be a good fit and not cause as many issues as the gp bikes. and i can sort of understand the whole bmw idea of "we're going to figure it out ourselves" in the hopes that it will eventually lead them to a huge breakthrough. Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: zooom on July 14, 2011, 03:29:22 AM When is BMW going to pull their head out of their collective ass and switch to the electronics that everyone else is using? Idiots. i can sort of understand the whole bmw idea of "we're going to figure it out ourselves" in the hopes that it will eventually lead them to a huge breakthrough. yeah, but would it be a bigger or better bite in the ass for someone to step up and take a BMW machine and chuck the Beemer electronics package and put in the standard Marelli and and kick them in the ass with it?... Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: fastwin on July 14, 2011, 06:19:35 AM Should I assume that Badovini's Italian team is running the Marelli electronics package instead of the Beemer goodies. Must be very satisfying to hand the factory team their butt every race.
Got to watch the Supersport race last night. Damn, it was a good one too. I'd love to see Davies win the championship on a 2 year old R6. [thumbsup] Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: zooom on July 14, 2011, 06:47:11 AM Should I assume that Badovini's Italian team is running the Marelli electronics package instead of the Beemer goodies. Must be very satisfying to hand the factory team their butt every race. I think Haslam is very frustrated due to Beemer's obstinance...but supposedly the Italian Beemers are running the same stuff as Haslam/Corser in terms of electronics...but I'd love to know for sure...but I do love to see Badovini mix it up with that thing... Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: desmoquattro on July 14, 2011, 06:53:44 AM Italian Beemers Hmm...that has me chuckling, envisioning a Tiger tank that keeps throwing a tread, after which its crew takes a 3 hour espresso/grappa break. Title: Re: WSBK Round 8-Brno(spoilers) Post by: Triple J on July 14, 2011, 07:27:55 AM I think Haslam is very frustrated due to Beemer's obstinance...but supposedly the Italian Beemers are running the same stuff as Haslam/Corser in terms of electronics...but I'd love to know for sure...but I do love to see Badovini mix it up with that thing... Maybe we'll see a Checa/Haslam Ducati factory team with the new bike. ;D I also read Haslam was frustrated and threatening to leave.

Reminded me of something I'd read a few months back in Motorcyclist... let me do the Google... Ha, there it is! From a "Then and now" comparison between various companies 70s era superbikes and their modern iterations, a quote from BMW's 1976 Superbike heyday: "The best part was, if you can imagine this, a twin-cylinder airplane motor beat the Japanese best," McLaughlin laughs 34 years later. "The R90S was lighter to throw around than a Z1, but overall there was nothing that great about it. It wandered on the straightaways, and the disc brakes used a cable-operated master cylinder and single-piston calipers. At Daytona, where you need brakes, we said, 'You have to fix these.' They said, 'No, this is the right way.' So rider talent is really what put those bikes on top."
