Very cool........

 

I'd love to see Casey come back, even if it's as a Wild Card rider. I know a lot of people don't like him, as he seemed to BWC* a lot, but he is a damn good rider.

Ducati MotoGP champion, familiarity with Michelin tires, new electronics package to develop, potentially still an alien. If there ever was a good time, this would be it. There are other reasons too.....:thumbsup:

 

If anyone could develop and ride bikes with new ECU's and bits it would be him. I still don't know how he rode that Duc to a championship. Every race it looked like a 250 hp dirt bike sliding and bucking all over the track. Amazing riding.

Piero Ferrari: Marquez? My father would have fire him

 

Wow that was direct! A lot on non Italian racers have voiced similar opinions. Just not so direct. lol

 

Well, it is a distraction from getting your ass handed to you by Mercedes in F1.....lol

 

If/when you watch the movie Hitting The Apex, pay attention to Marquez and then think about the incident with Rossi.

 

Breaking news, VFR750 scores podium finish in endurance race !

Practical Sports bikes in the UK entered a 1st gen with a few hastily added mods like 17" wheels into the Snetterton 4hr Classic endurance race & came 4th overall, 3rd in class ! This was a £250 ($400) bike they picked up & did minimal mods to to get it race ready to pass scrutineering.

Fantastic result ! Well done PSB Magazine.

 

Real Road Racing - Ulster GP

I've just watched the whole of the Duke video of this years Ulster GP, it's proper racing on roads, different from the IOM in that they take off in a conventional circuit racing grid, the closeness of the racing and lack of inane commentary was a breath of fresh air

The young bloods were there and taking it by storm, Lee Johnson goes from strength to strength whilst Peter Hickman was challenging for 3rd in the Superbike race on his Superstock

Some very good camera work, particularly the onboard shots really give an impression of what it all looks like at high speed, the helicopter action complemented the race and the whole series of races demonstrated how fast these guys go on Irish roads, the road is just blocked off, there's one fast section where you can see dried mud leading back to the farm entrance

As for the actual circuit, Deers Leap is unreal both on the track and spectating, a 10% downgrade that the riders accelerate down

Duke have made all their DVDs 0 region, so they play anywhere

I've got big hands, the first time I bought a pair of motor bike gloves the guy, said "you've got 10 bloody thumbs"

 

Looks like Marquez was pushing it at least a few times here at 22:23 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3cynma_gp-valencia-2015-motogp-720p-hd_sport
