Stayed up to watch both races. Glad I did - bloody fantastic racing.

Go the mighty Honda!!! Seems Suzuki is on a downward spiral. They are now 4th in the constructors points... out of 5. That's second from the bottom in technical terms.

Kawasaki. I didn't count MV as they didn't turn up for the race. It conflicted with the riders' manicure appointment.

Good racing alright! Hmm constructors points. How many Hondas and Ducatis are racing in the series cf Kawasaki and and Suzuki? How many Honda riders have won a race other than JT (who is looking in awesome form)?

Could argue the same in the SuperSports. Not a lot of bikes other than the Hanspree Hondas winning there either. Mind you there aren't a lot of bikes other than Honda and Yamaha racing there either.

In fact if you take the Hanspree team out of the equation.

So because Honda are so good, they should have a handicap? (here we go)

Shit I always thought they were a handicap. Nah I don't really give a rodent's posterior. I 've always been a Suzuki fan (kind of like being a Hurricanes supporter), but that's my burden.

Still stand by my statement about looking at Manufacturers points. Honda or Ducati have always had the most bikes in Superbikes, so they're going to pick up the most points (unless Suzuki have another 2005 season). Same thing in MotoGP. Big deal.

Brilliant racing. Bayliss said in the post race interview that he & Toseland are pushing beyond the limits. Looks like the Pirelli boys will be putting in some overtime this week.

Haga is on fire, making the R1 look very respectable.

Yes lots to be said for SBK blah de fuckin blah. Superstock 1000 is where its at boys and girls: real bikes almost rolled straight outta the shop and onto the track...no mods just ride... wanna see what's hot check out FIM World Superstock 1000 & 600 series. (yes i know... the 'support races' for SBK)

Oh fuck the MV lost again... **does double take at Yamaha R1 1-2-3** hmmmmmm.......

Nope, But A Honda FireBlunt might be....:D
Too bad there so bloody easy to ride, and therefore race.
Doesn't hurt than Ten Kate racing have obviously made pacts with the devil....
Go the FireBlunt!!

Bloody brilliant. Finally watched the races on the replay today. Fantastic racing, both 1000's and 600's.

JT losing by 9 thousanths cause he celebrated too early with a wheelie:spanking:.
I don't have anything against him but I don't like to see somebody getting too cocky.:second:

I saw one of the replay races, where Bayliss and Toseland swapped the lead about 5 times in the last two laps...what a race!!!

I don't think Toseland was being cocky, he just got on the gas a bit hard, wheelied, had to put it back down, and Bayliss got on the gas more smoothly and put the gap on him. Great to watch that stuff.

You not like Biaggi? Have to admit he does look like quite an arse wearing those 80's pilot sunglasses.:mellow:
