    Pity about the standard of commentary at HD. Ok its a volunteer job but if youre going to say something over a public address system for all to hear you should at least be a little researched and have your facts right.

    ''Jadens bike is basically bog stock''. Inaccurate misleading uninformed claptrap.

    Funny I must have dreamt that Race Tech mid valve pistons are fitted in the forks, together with high flow base pistons. I must also have dreamt that we fitted a Race Tech flow seperator valve in the rear shock together with an Ohlins 40mm race car piston and shimming. Externally a bright yellow Ohlins spring and stickers.

    No, its Superstock and within the rules. Such upgrade parts and services are available for sale.

    Did you bring this to the commentators attention?

    This is one talented young man;

    On the completely bog stock bike he was very quick but 'loose as'. The 'stock' rear shock would overheat and loose all damping, coming out of the corners was a wild ride.

    What the mods have done has given him more control, the shock does not overheat and cavitate, he's even quicker and no where near as 'loose'. The 'superstock' suspension has vastly improved his times.

    Traipsing over to the other side of the circuit was not an option. The onus is on the commentator about being sure of his facts, which he clearly wasnt.

    Thts pretty much correct thanks Graham ( and nice to briefly chat with you on Sunday ) But there is more setup to come as its not perfect yet.

    If this sort of thing gets your back up, you're going to be an extremely angry individual by the end of our national points series. We may need to get Shaun to give you anger management classes in fact.

    Every comentator at every track is going to rave on about how "bog stock standard" the Super Stock bikes are.

    Get used to it and take a chill pill honey bunny.

    In the same vein as ''fully adjustable suspension'' ?

    Or Bill Clintons infamous line ''I did not have sex with that woman''

    Or ''peace in our time''.........

    Nothing is ever quite as it seems. Read newspaper reports of the event you were at and you wonder if it was the same event!!!

    When the left side of my brain doesnt know what the right side is doing then Ill consider anger management classes. But Im not known for throwing tantrums, Im known for long suffering people that are predisposed to doing so.
    For now, the commentator was uninformed and didnt take the trouble to be in command of his facts, despite clearly obvious external parts and labels. Id also be inclined to think because the same personality is very pro 100% bone stock that such public statements are almost deliberate. Pretty unethical if thats the case.
