5 secs off Pedrosa, race record, is bloody good, it just goes to show how well the bike is, that any muppet could ride it.

Yeah Im sure he wouldnt have been as quick on a 500!!!!! can someone say "HIGHSIDE"
Traction control sure makes a big difference!
Although to be that quick obviously takes some skill!

yes alot of skill.
but also goes to show how simple it is ride that bike fast and not be a semi-god on two wheels

I take that bet, you get hold of a ducati motogp bike for us to do this test, and i will happly hand over the $10 if you win.

Yeah, but who's going to look sexier on it? You or Cajun?

Schumi might be arrogant as hell, but he's a a bit of a looker :drool:

Go-go juice in his veins.

And...speaking of decent laptimes @Taupo...ever had the front wheel on the tarmac for at least 1/4 of the lap Gee?

5 seconds difference on a track is a hell of a long time. There's probably a lot of KBers that could beat MS time.

A LOT of crap written by people on this post. The time by Shoemaker is very impressive and I have new found respect for him.
