Sykesy is on fire! he was in a class of his own this weekend, untouchable and planted. They've done a nice job with that Kwacker.

The Green Lantern was just incredible.  And Sylvain - who in the scheme of things has done a good job - finally had some bad luck.  BAM!   Sykes has the championship lead.  I was sooooo crushed after Syke's warm-up lap  F___-up at the last round, truly thought he had just thrown away the championship in a year where he and the KHI ZX-10R are clearly better than every one else out there.

What do I know?  [roll]

Gawd - if we could get Kawi interested in our AMA championship for next year, it would be such a shot in the arm of the domestic series.  I realize the rules are different, but look at Shakey Byrne in the BSB series.  I think their SBK spec it closer to what we do here.  He's killing it on a ZX-10R.

Final comment  - did anybody hear the announcers talk about whether there was going to be restrictor plate relief for the Panagale?

IIRC, they don't have to run them now, but still are, as all the electronics are set up for that power level.

I think they were going to do a test'n'tune soon.

Yeah, the 1199 is not exactly good at the moment. I hope they can find some horses without the restrictors. At least on the straights. If they suck in corners at least they should go fast in a straight line.

It's practically embarrassing to be a Ducati fan these days.  Someone pass me a paper bag please & some scissors.

Hey, if they suck everywhere, they might as well not suck at something
