There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop

If it looks like an con, smells like a con it probably is a con......

“But that was a bit of a disaster!” said team-owner Eduardo Perales, who has been running GP teams since 1990. “At first the problem was that the unit damped too much, so the rider couldn’t feel what was going on. Now we only use one damper on the swingarm and we are still trying to understand what works and what doesn’t, which is why we have a 2D sensor attached to the unit. Eventually maybe we could put the damper inside the swingarm. So far the good thing is that the damper seems to reduce rear-shock temperature and we can use a higher tyre pressure and still get a good contact patch, which improves tyre life.”
Interesting topic, thanks for sharing

If it's a con there's a lot of people in on it.

He lost me when he tried to demonstrate the tyre contact patch by holding a dismounted tyre up to a fucking table mat.
Unless and until it is endorsed by Kevin Cameron I regard it as bullshit
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave
I'd got as far as the bit where he said Don't skip forward in flashing lights, and I though; now there's s good idea, finally. I skipped forward a couple of times and he was still talking and showing something about adding unsprung weight right at the far end of a swingarm.
Skipping forward was a great idea.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
