[slowpoke]

From now on I will only consider a race to a good one when at least two out of the top four finishers are sliding over the line on thier arses.

Haha, yep brilliant stuff, sets a new standard eh?! Took me blardy ages to get to sleep after that lil' lot, lol.

Works level Showa in the mix as well on Kawasaki (good stuff) Their own version of twin tube technology ( Sholins )

WSS600 is more relevant to us in terms of what they run with suspenders as they have nothing special in that class ( at least from the Ohlins perspective ) Its exactly the same as what we can buy over the counter here. Represented are Ohlins, Showa, BiTubo and K-Tech. Maybe a few more.
Overall Ohlins are kicking ass with their wonderfull TTX25 gas cartridges and TTX36 Mark 2, fitted to bikes such as Sofoglus, Cluzell and many others. Check out the points situation! The same gear that Sloan Frost has been running through the winter series, now Jaden Hassan and many others pending from orders. Importantly for any race related stuff this product is made to be able to make setting changes very very quickly. Others cannot claim that and the ability to make a setting change very quickly can reflect in the results.

Bet ya didn't think that would've turned into an ad did ya?

Just watched the 2 SBK races, bloody good viewing with some very surprising bits along the way.

What was Biaggi thinking?
Tom is finally looking to have longer lasting tyre wear that keeps him in the hunt after some great 1st parts of the races!
Great racing for watching!

Dont start..........

Yip agree on the Sykes effort, - much much better. Great to see some green slime at the front.

As the team has essentially given up on 2012, it does look like their pay-to-ride riders, Brett McCormick and Maxime Berger, are still going to see out the season, McCormick is now considered fit to race the remainder of the year, but he has to consider his health first.

[Mental Trousers]

Ya get the feeling that Effenbert might ask Liberty to remove their name from anything to do with the team. They really seem to have issues and aren't handling them at all well.

It worked out really well for Sylvain cos he ended up with an excellent team in Pata Ducati. But I don't think Smrz will be so lucky. This stage of the season there many rides to be had.

After watching Donnington - it makes picking an obvious winner for this year that bit harder again...... ?

After watching last night i'm wondering if it aint amateur hour out there.

The show Max and Marco put on could not have been scripted better...Have a championship mate.No,no you have it.No I insist that you have it.

Flat out comical at times. Unbelievable number of front end crashes. Melandri must be kicking himself.

There seemed to be one corner in particular that attracted more than a few of the front end crashes. Talk of tricky bumps from the tower.
We were robbed of seeing Melandri's honey bouncing around.
