Almost as fast as the 800cc race lap time...but no data on the 1000cc Honda? It's heartening, but I'm still worried...

FTR claiming that they've never heard of Ducati.   laughingdp

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

That thing looks smaller than the current DS. From what I've heard, the 1000s are not translating into huge gains in the lap times, so as long as it's in the ballpark, I trust the GOAT and Burgess to milk a few tenths.

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Guess they're looking for anyone with a good idea. Wink I keep waiting to get my phone call. Grin What do they have to loose at this point?

but also worrisome about the new SBK. think about it. if Bayliss and Stoner are the only two who can ride the frameless tech to the limits, and that's exactly what Ducati doesn't want working on the new GP. how can Bayliss' direction on the SBK be good input as well?

yeah, that's not what that meant.

the way bayliss rides any bike, GP or sbk, is so different from just about everyone that he is less useful for data collection than someone who uses a more standard setup.  like, apparently, checa.

and i said not surprising since when you watch bayliss ride it mostly looks... wrong.  apart from the fact that he's going so gd fast.
