Pro-twins parity question

[White trash]

That's fuggin awesome that Swedens finest suspension gives a pro-twins bike the extra horsepower to outdrag an F3 bike to the line! Might have to get me some of that for the GSX so I can outdrag Dukies ZX10

Are you serious?


Not even if your bike was dripping in Ohlins, his superior reaction times would mean he was half way down the road before your brain had time to register what was going on.

But really now, watch the vid again and tell me Terry's bike was getting 'out-dragged' by anything...

Snivling kid? That the best you got big fella? Time to work on a "comeback" list like what Craig's got.

No what I am is a "Shit stirrer". Personally, I couldn't give a toss if the reason the P/Twins bikes were up the front because Jorge Lorenzo was the pilot or if the bikes in question had turbos fitted. I don't compete.

What I do think is funny that people get so defensive over it. Take a chill pill and enjoy the show boys.

Very often its about opening the throttle sooner and holding it on longer.

Another Kiwibiker pantomine!!!

Ohh comeon Jimmy why not just out n out say it rather than beating around the bush.
Jimmy thinks the top couple of PT bikes are cheating.
I'm guessing he thinks their engines are not strictly "factory" or within MNZ rules.
Maybee a bit of barrel shaving here. A thin head gasket there. Maybee a "factory" cam or two. (so its still got the suzuki stamp)
Or he could just be havin a good ol wind up.

That tall South African bloke doesn't know how to turn the throttle the other way... that's why HE is fast......

Its bloody good that "O" stuff you know, ....Next thing you know with GPS added & "leanangleometer" thingies the rider wont be required at all as he/she will be an impediment to making the bike go fast.
Then we can all get phat, sit on pitwall , drink piss & enjoy the purest form of MOTORCYCLE ONLY racing.

I think no such thing. However there's an old saying that rings particularly true, "Loose lips sink ships". It could be someones downfall very shortly.

I've acheived that stage already. It goes well with my shitstirring.

As you know I prep the suspension on all 3 bikes in question. With respect to the two Pro Twins bikes we have made a leap in settings ( within the tight class rules! ) as weve been working on them all winter. The two riders in question have on and off been riding all winter as well so are race sharp.
Terry like me is advancing in years 50 plus and has not ridden since the last round of last years Nats, at HD.
He also started the day with an old tyre that had been through rather too many heat cycles and was well past its best, whereas Geoffrey and Daniel had rather fresher rubber fitted. Given that for heat 2 Terry had some race miles under his belt and a fresh rear tyre the natural balance of gap between the two types of bikes was restored, albeit Terry is still getting back up to speed. I think that fairly sums it all up.
A look at My laps for this meeting and the last round of the Nats may also explain that no-one is up to last round of the Nats speed in this class, although I may be wrong.

ooh, - I like that word advancing, it sounds so eminent........

Aren't you past the advancing stage?
