MotoGP 2013

Scott Redding rode an old Suzuki (#34) last weekend in a "parade". He reported that he got his elbow down more than once - in a parade mind.

He is a new convert to a two stroke premier class.

Witnesses of a certain age reported that Redding, being all elbows and knees, had a similar style to the original rider.
Of course, Schwantz was likely doing his GP thing before Redding was even born.

Wonder if they couldn't get the right size tyres for it. Front guard seems to have been rubbing on the hoop by the looks of those pics.

Must be the different sized tyres we have now over what they used to have.

But did everyone see the story on the Ioda TR004 Moto3 bike.
Looks nice.
Honda NSF250R engine, no doubt with some magic dust applied. Will still be down on power cf the KTM.
Price?
Cheap.

73,500 Euros (and that is + VAT if you live in Europe. VAT is over 20% in most countries!!!!!!!!!) and will of course be + GST if bought in here.

I'm sorry, but what planet are these guys on????

I cannot help but wonder, what the fuck the Indian fellow who designed and built that was smoking!

Assumed to be Indian, because it's a Royal Enfield according to the tank.

One thats got more well heeled buyers than we have in this colonial backwater. It wont be so long before our consumption tax exceeds 20%, and thats just to feed the never ending grievance gravy train.

So, anyhoo, here's a nice lil' interview with Mr. Outspoken pre-Sachsenring.

I have some sympathy for Edwards. There was comment from Doctors following Lorenzo's effort, some of them felt that there should be a mandatory minimum one week stand down after a general anaesthetic - or a concussion.

An anaesthetist told me a year or three back that some anaesthetics "scramble the brain". Riding a 250HP+ GP bike with a scrambled brain sounds like a recipe for disaster.

There was also comment from Steve Martin during a recent WSBK race that a rider who crashes and sustains any damage to the helmet will not be allowed to race again that day. During a recent GP round Marquez(?) had a major off which rendered his helmet badly second hand. He was still allowed to race. But then he does have a Spanish passport, and it was only MotoGP.

Years ago, I had a bad crash in Putaruru Forest (I left an imprint of my face in a mature pinus radiata after failing to land a jump in third gear). I was out cold for 10 minutes, and cracked a vertebrae in my neck.

For about three months afterwards, my brain was mush, I forgot things, had mood swings and was generally mental.
For the two weeks afterwards, I wasn't fit to use any machinery, much less race a bike.
