I think it is a substitute for *a* skill. Obviously TC has nothing to do with having the balls and skill to brake at the limit and tip in at speed, but look at pedrosa's high side. Tip it in, and mid corner just crank it wide open (can just imagine how big pedrosa's eyes got when he cranked it...

Thats a freaking cruel title given the actual content *tear*

LMAO made my night!

I just read that on the GP site, i bet marquez stuck his elbow out on purpose! I'm calling sabotage haha. Could you imagine at full lean on a gp bike cranking the throttle wide open and having no TC. You'd probably have just enough time to think oh shi-

The mobile law is heavily enforced, i've gotten nailed with it and know a number of people who have. Maybe not in barrie, but anywhere in the GTA if a cop sees you on your phone you're getting pulled over. We live in a nanny state and it's not because of the government, its because of the...

Why wouldn't you be confident to use more then 50% of your braking force? Under braking is where you're going to build the most heat in your front, and you're not going to lock the tire with the bike straight up and down unless you ham fist the lever. That makes no sense.

LoL just look at hard you're trying to get your knee down :P

A big deciding factor for me would be what configuration they're running at grand bend. There are a few of the tighter layouts that i dont care for, but the bigger layouts are great. Never been to shanny. Seriously just get health insurance and go to Grattan in michigan. Problem solved. track...

40/36 sounds like what it maybe said in your owners manual for the bike? Every tire is different, always refer to the tire manufacturer for recommended pressures. Are you going out to play in novice group? 32/30 or 31/29 will be fine, just dont go out there and try to be rossi. Work on riding...

You should try driving a transport in the city, at least twice a week i see someone exploding in their car because i changed lanes, after signalling for a kilometer, and then pulling a wheel over the line, and then slowly pulling over. A lot of people live with insane amounts of self imposed...

Nah you're the only one here with the gall to criticize one of the top riders in the world. Comments from everyone else amount to giving him the benefit of the doubt because you have no idea what it's like.

It wouldn't be. Bickle is a really nice guy and very easy going, i went the one time to drop off leathers just to get some patch work done and probably spent an hour chatting bikes with him.

EDIT: okay way to make **** confusing. Way to post a link from 2011 that has nothing to do with what happened this weekend and confusing the hell out of me lol. So marquez missed a yellow flag, i'll say it again, you try racing around at 180 mph backing a bike in and also paying attention to...

I hope you're saying that having raced and knowing how easy it is to miss a flag when you're that focused. At the pro level there may be no excuse for that, but it's still funny when so called "arm chair quarterbacks" are so quick to judge. I know i've missed flags before, but i ride track days...

I dont doubt that his shoulder was affecting him, if he had been healthy he probably would have checked out half way through the race but all of the top riders have had to battle serious upper body injuries this season. To me it looked like he ran wide because he was off line from making the...

Sounds about right. To be honest i havent found a glove yet that was 100% of what i wanted, but things are certainly getting better. Also even if the larger companies manufacture in house that doesn't necessarily guarantee their processes are going to be any higher quality then that of the...

The this morning was supposed to be a pretty big clue. Probably a safe assumption that he didn't spend the latter part of the afternoon wandering around with a dislocated shoulder going "no no i dont want to go to the medical tent, i'll just ride like this. It'll be fine." LoL

fortunately for you maybe! What about the rest of us? lol. I was really interested in those gloves, wish they would have put a small slider at the base of the thumb as well but you probably dont need it.

For what it's worth, just so you know velocity doesn't make velocity gloves. In fact there are probably no small companies that own the manufacturing of their own glove (**** bickle sells a glove with their name on it, they might be the exception). There is a factory in banglapakiiraqistan that...
