Go Hopkins.....they say the Bridgestone front is fantastic....and looking at this shot, you'd probably agree!
Fingers crossed that the Suzuki lives up to it's end of season testing results!!

Hope you all have a great X-mas people.....may see some of you at Wanganui this year!

you should be getting the pegs well down before running out of grip on a rg, hell I have seen knee down in the rain by some people on them

It's not helped by my commuter worn tyres. There's an edge a cm away from the edge of the tyre. All of a sudden the bike falls down onto it's pegs if you lean over far enough (which I'm starting to do more often, gotten over the last crash and have been doing my best to keep up with RG100)

Dunno....but I reckon he'll be one to watch this year if Suzuki stay on track!

He's been having to ride the ring off the thing to stay with the other bikes due to a lack of HP....his high corner speed could well suit the new 800's!

And if you want 'elbow' action....check out some of the pictures of young Ben Spies from the AMA.....he evn has his nikname on the back of his leathers....'Elbows'!!

I do that its so your looking at where you are going not in front of you, Where you look is where you go

11th December 2006, 10:38
Yeah I know that, and it's true for 99.9999999% of the people. I believe though Rossi looks at the corner (ie at the tarmac), which is how the 1st picture looks to me.......

Neeeeeehhhh... look at his eyes, they're rolled right back and he's looking flat, through the corner.

That's nothing. The current Bike mag has a photo of a guy on a Motard at 60 -70 degrees lean, with the bars jammed hard on his thigh, smoke pouring off his boot and the front axle slider hard on the deck.

Yep, that's pretty impressive. Apparently he falls off a lot. I wonder why.

The interview with Jeremy Clarkson on why he hates bikes so much is a bit of a dag too.

Yes now that's a very good effort, I didn't know tyre sidewalls were that sticky though, he must have gone off the ege of the tyre long before he got over that far!!!!!!!!!, wouldn't be far to fall off either
