They should not be exempt from the law. They should never be exempt, especially if the presumption is that some force is going to enforce the enforcers. Their vehicles should all be fitted with hands free systems, so as to abide by the law.

Take a look at the point of contact on the tire with the pavement. It's at that point they are showing the angle from, where the actual contact patch is. If you move the right angle to the dead centre of the tire, it would line up with the centre of the bike as well... At least, that's what...

Yeah, definitely in - solo. Coming from downtown, core. Anyone else meeting from in here?

"Buddy, you really need to get those brake pads replaced, they're thinner than my finger nails. Also, those tires. Bro. Those tires." "Not worth it." "Come again?" "I'll just lay 'er down. It'll be cheaper, take less time, and stop faster at this rate. Plus, sweet insurance claim."

Yeah. Laying down a bike is just an excuse. Instead of hitting whatever is in front of you, you hit what is below you. Brakes and rubber work better than plastics on concrete.

Sure, but I quite enjoy watching Lorenzo run with it. I should, enjoy THAT he runs with it - you don't get much of his footage when's riding on his own :P Otherwise, yeah, a pretty stale race. Saving Moto2/3 for the off season. Need something to watch in the winter.

Yeah, sorry - I agree with you on that. The article doesn't do a good job of providing alternatives which are different from what is currently employed. The point I was trying to make, is what makes a better alternative? What sort of blanket solution is there, that would not involve needing...

Further to the point, HOW is that a problem? Short from an outright ban in sales of aftermarket exhausts and legislating manufacturers into producing theirs to a spec for levels, what is the alternative? You make noise, you get checked, you get ticketed. Innocent until proven guilty, and all...

Definitely interested, possibly 2up.

I'm all too aware of the point you are making here - I just felt the need to voice my opinion against the status quo. It doesn't surprise me, the way the article was written, but that doesn't mean it need to be perpetuated.

Really? That's the grossest example of class segregation. Not to mention that aftermarket does not necessarily equal loud. I could just pull the can from the end of the header, doesn't get much louder than that. And what of anyone who is interested in aftermarket systems for track bikes?

I have to disagree. Argument of noise aside, that article was a slanderous, angst ridden piece of trash. Yet the previous 2 paragraphs do just that: I understand that it is a commentary piece, but the least the author could do is make consistent arguments, and not just vent like he...

25% OF MSRP, or 25% OFF MSRP? I typically don't pick on spelling, but it's a big difference here :P

You can't possibly try and rationalize what goes on in the mind of a man who did what he did.

Yeah, I'd say it's pretty foolish to think that Marquez intentionally ignored the flags. It was a race warm-up, the last thing you'd want to do is crash, and setting a flying lap isn't going to net anything anyway. He was just running his course. If he had gone down at another corner, where...

Just to confirm, this is on your phone? All this "change ISP" advice isn't going to help with your phone, unless you mean that it was your phone running on your home's network :P Assuming you're referring to your phone on it's own network - what kind of phone is it? There was a recent issue...

I believe holding an M grants you the same privilege as a G1, in that you can drive with a passenger who has their full G lic. for 5 years, during daylight hours - however, they would still need to actually obtain their G1 by taking the written test in order to advanced to G2, and finally G.

Great, 8 it is.
