    Race 1 was full of examples of close but safe overtaking, very impressive riding .....

    Race 2 is just starting, Eurosport are covering all WSB & BSB races live, for free .

    Rea does not care if he starts from pole or 9th. He is a beast. Sykes is hanging colse.

    it's a rerun, let them think they have an edge in testing, then push your competition into early mistakes, get a 60 point lead, and manage it for the rest of the series. Fast and Smart.

    Or better still the Honda V4

    Kawasaki are simply showing just what can be done with a modified road bike, Ducati are very nearly there, as are Yamaha, Honda meanwhile are perfecting the bikes paintwork, fuck the engine ....I despair

    Racing rules change like most of us change sox and skivvies hence putting the fastest fast guys in the back rows..

    The Harley-Davidson and Indian 750s were sidevalve engines. The Triumphs also included BSA twins and singles and other "foreign" made bikes. There were even a few Triumphs that started life as 650 twins that were sleeved. HD is in work with new racing stuff including the made in India 750 OHC engines.

    Here's kind of an update:

    Some of the displacement controversy goes back so far that many here were still crapping their nappies..

    Almost time for MotoGP. I'm so curious how Maverick is going to do under race pressure. It may even be a wet race!

    I am very interested in what Vin is going to do. He has been very fast right out of the gate.

    The short end of the stick award goes to cal crutchlow....with only 7 engines for use this season, his #1 engine decides to blow it's oil during his first run in fp1.

    Sucks for Cruthlow (quote)
    "If you crash, and you know why you've crashed, you say, 'OK, I crashed a lap ago, I'm on my spare bike, I can go faster'. With [the engine problem] it's not in your control, you're shitting yourself the whole time.
