Just starting the first bit torrent now. Seems to have a long pregame, and the first 30 minutes of video on it. Just saw the big kawi crash. Kinda brutal. Next torrent not posted yet.

Beefed up indeed EZ, that second photo of this post jumped at me. What a yoke brace that spans the two sliders. Never seen anything like that.

I wonder if they felt to much flex in the front end with the production Brace

Perhaps, but it is possible that they wanted less driver fatigue in the shoulders. The wider the sliders (axle holders) the less effort needed to make the wheel move. The front axle on these bikes is LONG and the rider has plenty of leverage..............plus surely "flex-less."

I think night has got to be the toughest Dean. I'd have to have an Ipod or something; but, then I'd crash from lack of focus. |

I did 8 hours with two riders once, and that is stressful! I can only imagine what 24 hours will do...and Bubba is right, the night gets to you... the level of concentration is enormous...
Trust me, Bubba,,, you would NOT want an iPod or ANYTHING else, for that matter that would in any way, shape or form distract you...

Yeah, 5 seconds below their fast lap... that's a couple of planets, not just a world! Hope all is ok!

I don't think the times are updating properly. That 4 minute lap time for the Qatar team has been up for a while.

Engine failure has taken the bike ridden by Le Grelle, Mertens Penzkoffer out.

Bobby... I have raced, I am quite often surprised that these engines take the abuse they are getting... I figured that these bikes have been around the block once or twice... I am just curious as to how much they work on them in between, to bad you don't know...
