Good news re Nicky.

Last I heard (also mentioned in article), Karel's dad owns the Brno circuit. I'm up for adoption btw.

Crazy Joe said he crashed because the bike gave him forearm cramps , and he thinks he's a tough guy, just check his blogs... It must be hard to be real strong when your team wants you to weigh under 60kg. Could that be an effect of having to overcome the downforce due to the wings to get it turned or just the bike's geometry?

Good question.

Ducati definitely has the biggest wings, and the strongest motor.

Since they hired one of the best riders...again...we'll see if it's the rider...or the bike that's the issue. Evil

Personally, I think You'reghey should move to F1 'cuz I don't watch it. waytogo

That was some really excellent moto-porn there.

It's funny, dyno runs.
We've got a rider we help out a bit, he's got TZ250 frame with a paint-shaker XT660 thumper in it.
He could hardly stand being in the dyno room when we did the pulls.
I told him "Shit, what are you afraid of, you make it pull that way when you've got your knee down at 100 mph."
It is disconcerting, I will admit.

The active dynos are really cool.
I recall a vid of a Posche dyno that tilts the motor around left, right, forward, back while it's thrashing the revs, throttle, and load up and down.
