The Eurosport commentators were talking about this very thing during the last race WRT Yamaha. Apparently Edwards had got the completely wrong map installed by mistake (may even have been a wet map) over the course of the race the computer learned and remapped itself and by the end he was lapping as quick as anybody. Amazing.

Yes Carbon, what's next, suspension adjusting itself ? Too much like F1 for me. Be nice if they would change the rules maybe for 2012 and limit computer assistance. G.

Well the geek in me thinks it's fascinating... but the relative importance of rider v's bike is getting all screwed up... exactly like F1. I suspect most of the elite riders would love less computer assistance and that's good enough for me.

Yeah, but if you had your way it would be one set of Pirelli Phantom tyres per meeting as well...........

I was gobsmacked. In my ignorance I had no idea it was that sophisticated! I thought electronics was just about dictating the power that went to the ground.

They soon won't need a bloody rider. It will be like a slot car race FFS.........

Thanks for the link Gaz.
Cheers

C'mon Gaz i didnt think you were up to Kerry's sorta weight yet ?, - rebound is when the springs pushes back at least a little bit after you sit on the bike

I've got a neat set of scales whereby if you lean back a tad you can knock off 10kg.
Actually I'm depressed, Dukie told me I'm fat (at least I'm 6') and Dusty has tactfully offered to make me another suit !!!!
