    This is probably the best post I have seen in the forums. haha TC does it all, everyone knows that riders just open the throttle wide open in the corners and the bikes do the rest.

    Its not going to happen, too many people still picking up the costs. On a related subject I hope its not a forlorn hope that if any bikes are borrowed to go racing with that they are returned in a condition better than when loaned and that the owners are properly remunerated.Theres at least a couple of horror stories from last season. There are (like in all sports ) and for want of a better pc expression ''a number of niggers in the woodpile" .

    I'm still gobsmacked she blagged a ride over in my old hunting-ground (Colchester). Obviously from her zero points thus-far in Superstock 1000 her Kawasaki ain't got traction control.

    I think you'll find she can crash even the best TC equipped bike.

    The biggest advances in motorbike electronics won't be made in MotoGP, they'll be made by whoever can stop her crashing.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    Looks like she got the boot. I wasn't aware she had any success in NZ Superbikes as this article claims. Saw her biff someones nice Repsol at Manfield hairpin on a trackday. She wasn't hard to look at in the pits as I remember though. http://barrygrussell.wordpress.com/tag/sandra-stammova/
