we'll see Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: fastwin on August 18, 2011, 08:25:10 AM Has she ever tested a full on 1000cc sbk yet? Just wondering if she has some big bike (as in fast as shit!) experience yet. All I have ever read about her has been related to 600cc bikes.

Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: MadDuck on August 18, 2011, 08:40:05 AM [popcorn] we'll see I agree. It's great for publicity and it'll be a great experience for her. Remember, even Ben Bostrom was somewhat humbled by the Honda at Laguna Seca. Apparently it's a whole different ball game.

She doesn't turn 18 until November, so until then here is where you sign up : Elena Myers Paddock Boy Sign Up (http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbis-innocent-images-national-initiative-targets-internet-pedophiles) Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: fastwin on August 19, 2011, 08:13:13 AM You're a legal adult at 17 in Texas. ;D
Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: ducatiz on August 19, 2011, 08:23:04 AM You're a legal adult at 17 in Texas. ;D Nope. Age of Consent in TX is 17 and they have a "Romeo & Juliet" law which allows a partner to be 3 years older. So a 17 yo could be involved with a 20 yo. Legal adult in TX is 18, just like everywhere else. Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: MadDuck on August 19, 2011, 08:47:26 AM Nope.

Damn! Only an attorney would assume something like that. I just want to be out on the track in Daisy Dukes with an umbrella. [puke] (It was supposed to be funny.)

Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: thought on August 19, 2011, 12:34:42 PM this always happens once you get the lawyers involved in the jokes... ;D

Which adds to funniness of my Urkel physique and cluelessness.

Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: Speeddog on August 30, 2011, 12:43:27 PM someone tell me that was just her 1st siting lap out on the bike and getting a feel for it.... Looks pretty close to what the boys were doing on their first laps in FP1. Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: gm2 on August 30, 2011, 12:55:25 PM someone tell me that was just her 1st siting lap out on the bike and getting a feel for it.... first part (i.e. most of that video) looked like exactly that. poorly put together footage. Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: Jester on August 30, 2011, 03:59:52 PM Yeah they had that video up on the motogp.com website before the weekend. I was really disappointed with what they showed us. Give me a few flying laps please. Not some pussy footing sight lap coverage.
Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: Speeddog on August 30, 2011, 05:34:42 PM She only got 5 laps on it, and I'm sure it was made clear that throwing it down would not be good.
Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: ZLTFUL on August 30, 2011, 06:44:14 PM She was hitting 190mph+ at the end of the front straight...the big dogs were hitting just a touch over 200.
Not like she was pussyfooting around after the siting lap. Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: thought on August 30, 2011, 07:18:20 PM i wonder if they would complain about her being too light and small like they do about pedrosa if she ever made it to motogp/wsbk
Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: ducatiz on August 30, 2011, 07:31:44 PM She just hit 18, she is due for the "Freshman 15" gain..
Title: Re: Elena Myers to Test GSV-R at Indy Post by: Ducatiloo on August 31, 2011, 08:18:32 AM I saw her do 3 of the laps and she seemed comfortable on the bike. Of course they didn't post her lap times. I sometimes wonder if the teams bring up the younger riders in part to get more testing time on the tracks.
