That being as it may, at one point you did say you thought the announcers were saying that Marquez was riding around with a shoulder that was currently still dislocated which to quote Lewis Black makes you BrbrbrRbRbrbrbr ****ing nuts

Sorry i thought i was specific enough by saying "scaphoid protectors", i wasn't talking about the knuckles. I have seen lots of pictures of where gloves with stingray in the palms have failed not because stingray isn't a fantastic material, because it is, but because of the way it is attached to...

i've always had good experiences dealing with blue streak but i guess i'm the only one who finds his prices high. The "free shipping" seems like a good ploy but it seems like every item has shipping built into the price, so if you're ordering 4-5 things i've found it to be more expensive then...

Knox scaphoid protectors is where it's at when it comes to hand protection. I track in the top of the line Taichi gloves and have hit the pavement a few times with them, serious scuffs to the plastic protectors but no damage to the actual glove. I dont like the stingray design because it's held...

I cant wait for philip island. I bet marquez runs away with that track the same way stoner always did. Only other rider i've seen that could back a gp bike in the way stoner did.

How are you guys all missing the rider who got tackled by a black bear?! clearly the more interesting topic here

lol^^^ Watching marquez ride breaks my brain. I dont know how he gets away with riding so far over the limit. So amazing to watch.

Crazy second row too! Barely a tenth between them. Should be a gooder!

"Yesterday, RCMP released a video of a speeding motorcyclist who was so preoccupied with his speedometer, he slammed into a young, black bear crossing Highway 7 in the Fraser Valley." Ouch. While he may have not been paying enough attention, that black bear was hiding in the bushes waiting to...

:shock: okay i cant fault him one bit for that. I dont think you'd find anyone who'd give up 9.4 million dollars for "the love of the game" so to speak.

my favourite stoner quote, and paraphrased is "i'm not pushing that hard, i havent even started pushing fronts yet." Stoner is probably the only rider in the world who can drift the front tire of a gp bike on corner entry. The problem is that works for downhill, off camber type corners, but on...

So what was the pay raise for Cal? I'm really sorry to hear this, he was just starting to be able to compete at the front, if he could figure out how to be at pace for the first 5 laps he had potential for a lot more wins on the tech3. Going from last years M1 to a current model Duc is a huge...

Also if you feel you cant safely get around someone, just pull into the pits. Wait half a lap and go back out when you're not behind them. It really is that easy.

If you were paying attention at the riders meeting you would know that at a GWB track day they dont emphasize strict passing rules but instead and awful lot of....wait for it...common sense. If you can get beside someone **at the beginning** of a breaking zone it's fine to come up on the...

that was super weird. I was going to guess mechanical failure like something seizing solid. If the bike is still running you must have slammed it into first, that was bizarre.

Fiddling is bad, adjusting is good. When i cant get the bike to hookup on exit i've had really good results with adding some damping to the rebound so the back isn't constantly trying to push. That being said the oil is probably a decade old in that shock so playing with fiddly knobs might make...

Indeed hence my initial confusion. Corsara it's good that the tire pressure bit helped. Definitely check it against another gauge and run the pressures you're being told to. When was the last time you adjusted your compression/rebound settings? if you dont have enough rebound damping or have...

No not on that tire especially because i've never ridden a 1000 on the track, but i have ridden on a tire that was at least 3 psi out before and never experienced anything like you're talking about. Just seems like a big problem to have from only being a few psi off. My comment about 29 being...

26 is probably about the right pressure for a 190 bridgestone slick, with 29 being too high at least for someone pushing them. If the tire is supposedly skipping i'm thinking you've got other problems brother.

are either of those vests listed in the OP CE2? Watch some reviews (stg to start) and do some reading. The two companies i listed have the best products you can buy. I see moto gp riders getting hurt a lot :p
