Couple of BIG boys to play at Rnd 5

[cowpoos]

Sams bike was well within the rules last time, it just came down to the small minded politics of envy, and frankly, people having nothing better to do than moan. Given lack of time we didnt even read the data logging traces, even though the stuff was fitted.
This country has a real problem with tall poppy syndrome, irrespective of whether you have worked every hour that god sends to achieve what you have got. Personally, I look up to the many successful people we have in society, except for those who have predominantly accumulated wealth through speculation or downright dodgy dealing.
This is not a bite back at you as I know your comment was lighthearted!

lol...now now...Bob...thats not exactly how it played out...I Noticed it on sams bike in a pic...I light heartly mentioned it....and then Mr Van Boom Boom...flew of the handle about it...etc etc etc... But at the end of the day noone gave a shit bar Mr Van Boom Boom!! [cant remember his name...but I do remember he was awfully livid!!]

He'd tell ya to FINISH each race, and get a reliable bike like a 'Onda

The first part of that is all to true, the reliabilty question is somewhat unfair. The bikes are perfectly reliable till you tip it over a hundred times, and then fill it up with water. I'm almost certain most people are quicker learners than me.

Correct, but as I also recall it was those that kicked in afterwards.

I was watching Saturday in the timing tower, a white Honda came out and was doing 9.8, 9.6, 9.5, 9.4 and so forth. A guy next to me said that bike is brand new and stock !
Great to see CS !! Gaz.

Yes, the motor, exhaust and ECU are all completely stock. Race fairings, Ohlins TTX36 rear, Ohlins FGK cartridge kits and Pirellis were added Saturday morning.

Goes to show most people have a long way to go before they need to start looking for more h/p, sorta makes the superbikes just as affordable as sp racing?

[cowpoos]

Ohlins FGK cartridge kit.

Just a FGK kit?

[Robert Taylor]

Just a FGK kit?

Absolutely, but as with the rear we pre-customised the settings before they were fitted. This is a start and by no means will be the final base settings, which of course vary from track to track.

Thats an interesting point, but engines also last longer if they are blueprinted and balanced. Swings and roundabouts.

honda have big cheque books when it suits them.... Or so I hear...
engines are cheap ish...
Be cool to see a honda being competitive at nats for a change!!

Gawd, I don't know whether to be depressed or inspired.........I'll just stick to being dumbfounded

[Tony.OK]

I'm just greatful that Craig's engine was stock.................I'm stoked at being the last person NOT to get lapped during the 19 lapper. May have been different if it had've gone 20............but it didn't so I will take the bragging rights
