Biaggi will finally be able to sleep at night...

[CHOPPA]

Why the fuck, after such an impressive season on the GSXR, would Haslam switch to Bee Emm? Or why would Suzuki let him go?

I heard he offered to pay BMW to ride there bike

[slowpoke]

Do you honestly think he gives a toss as to what mad max has done I really doubt it

Ya got it wrong fella (you were much smarter last year, must be a Honda thing), Rossi won't give a shit about Biaggi.....but I reckon Biaggi would dearly love to outshine Rossi for change.

[pritch]

OK there some knowledgeable types hereabout so some questions svp?

Since Rossi (I think?) started dangling his foot it seems to have gained widespread currency. Up until now, invariably the left foot.

Sufuoglu at Imola was consistently dangling his right boot and only his right. I seem to recall someone in the SBK doing it too but it was getting late.

Is it that he doesn't use his foot brake?
Do Muslims do things with their left foot that we'd do with our right?
(Like they do with their hands.)
Was there some obscure technicality just making it appear that way?
(As if a photo print had been developed back to front.)

Who is going to be the first ambidextrous dangler?

Inquiring minds want to know...

I believe most riders now adays use a thumb operated rear brake Ron so I guess that would allow said people/riders to take their right foot off , read sometime back that Rossi was putting his foot out just to put off others passing him ??

I met him once.

He's very um, focused.

Dangle ! This man would turn in his grave.

Leon Haslam spent a whole day going round Donington with data logging equipment to find out what effect the 'dangly leg' on corner entry. His data showed no difference so he carried on riding as before.
I think it looks bloody un-tidy and just wrong and there is some impiricle evidence that it doesn't actually do anything helpfull, so why are so many in MotoGP doing it? Just to copy Rossi I guess. I hope this is a fad that passes as it just looks stupid.

Pretty much confirmed with Haslam to BMW 2011.

No wonder our domestic club racing is suffering,it filters down from factories like Suzuki tightening the purse strings.

Shutup poofter.

Unsure if your serious or if this is one of those dry Gaz jibes.

Don't get me wrong dude, I wasn't bagging the BMW. Just the move really confused me given his results but others have pointed out why.

Yep, I was watching Sofuoglu and the dangly leg was giving me the shits, and I couldn't help thinking it was to put off Laverty. He almost doubles the width of himself and the bike and would have to affect Laverty's decision making regarding his line if he was to have a go. It would actually be quite interesting if someone ignored it and collected a leg on the way through....who would be deemed at fault?

As a dead dingos donga, but it is for real.

[imdying]

Yea it is so easy to Win a SBK World Championship title now adays on a brand new model in its second year of development !

Sure, with the right money behind you.

[denill]

Good point Gaz and it makes me cringe when I see the leg hanging out. 'They' had style. maybe slower, but hey, it was poetry in motion.

In fact I would have thought that losing the weight on a footpeg in a corner would upset the balance and weight transfer adversely. Seems I got that wrong?
