Is "stiction" the right word to describe suspension binding under loads extreme enough to make it flex whilst moving through its stroke?Originally Posted by James Deuce

Is "stiction" the right word to describe suspension binding under loads extreme enough to make it flex whilst moving through its stroke?

No.
Stiction is the friction that has to be overcome to make something move, eg the suspension.

I note that Mr Birt has mastered Bastianini but has trouble with Espagero. His pronunciation of Bagnaia though is jarring. He has been around the scene for some years but who he has been talking to is anybody's guess. It's not like we are perfect but then we don't spend years around the riders. It shouldn't require a mastermind to ask the riders how they pronounce their names.

That's my understanding too.

Wot a race!
Crasher's wager doesn't look too silly either. Roll on Austin.

It's time...
I quite like Nick Harris, but the fact that all the criticisms in your rant are true makes me wonder why :-)Finally, some backup! I have been mounting a seemingly-lone attack for years trying to knife that fuckwit Harris : it's not just his inept calling, or the fact that he is a soundalike for Zippy from Rainbow, or that he misses passes for positions for up to and including a lap, or that he ignores signs like marshals running in the background and whacking out a yellow, or that he steadfastly refuses to criticise Dorna in any way, but the twin facts that from lap 2 of the first round in spite of calling every potential pass one that controls "vital championship points", he chooses to make no effort at all to ever increase his math skills, as soon as a points question comes up he throws his hands in the air and says, "well, my maths is hopeless", thus neutralising the validity of the points standings in the latter-season races, AND that he chooses to butcher and bastardise any difficult European surnames because they are non-English and he doesn't have the manners or the professionalism to go and find out the correct pronunciation. His offsider last year tried hard to make correct names filter through to Harris by some form of osmosis, but the apparently-innocuous name Bastianini continues to elude the tosser, and I don't expect any improvement this year. Fucks up the telecast so much for me that I regularly listen with the sound OFF, at least I can follow the race without grinding my teeth twice a lap...

Great huh, pritch ?Wot a race!

I laughed in the first few seconds when Harris made his first cockup.
Not to spoil, for those that haven't seen it,the start saw a few upsets.Upsets, that they tried to undo.
Sky coverage great to have.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
Fully qualified Sifter.

Fuck sake. Back to looking for dodgy torrents everywhere.
Hints anyone?

Never, never give in.
Yep fantastic race. Pleased (and surprised) for Rossi (and Gaz).
Looks like a great season with Ducati back in the mix making it a 3 horse race.
It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.
Eyes that shine burning red
Awesome racing, just the start we wanted for the season.
MM impressed finishing where he did.
Can't wait for the next one.

Must admit I was remembering the 2007 Ducati ,but maybe not quite the speed difference ?
Vale's choice of tyre might have made that little bit at the end ?
