I think make racing closer(hopeful), really at moment its which suzuki of Mat
or Spies gonna win.

Read an article by a AMA racer other day, saying he expects it will end the 200+ hp fire breathing bikes with standard tires, and ecu.

But i think thats something for another topic

No mate. Moto GP is in the States twice this year. Laguna Seca and Indy.

I was at Laguna last year, and Mladin and Spies were not much slower than the GP boys on their GSXR's!

They finished around 25-30 seconds in front of the peanut in 3rd!

Yes...Roger!!

Yeah He is injured...but read a interview a week ago and he's aiming to be able to ride!! would be awesome to see him back out there again on the kawa...he did a great job last year as a wildcard.

Yeah but half the reason for that example is they're (probably) using Dunlop slicks instead of the Pirellis

At bathurst its soooo thight heading back down the hill and steep, you need sheapers or a super winch.
Don't know how they manage to pass their.
Felt like our rental ford was going to scrap both sides on the way down.

Other then race days its a two lane road!!!

Only been there twice. Two laps in our camper van - one looksee and one hot lap........... :dodge:
And last Easter Sunday morning, was looking forward to a few laps on the hired BMW 1200GS - but the track was closed for a race meet!!!!

Could not believe how steep the dipper was??? The one dimension of photography destroys the aspect of terrain. A reason why MX never looks as good on TV as being there, eh.
