Same scabs, different day. I did not say that BMW "BEAT THE WORLD" or that they are going to destroy the other bikes and riders with their rear end smoke. I said that one of the BMW's came within .5 of a sec of the "Record Lap Speed For the Phillips Island Course" and that is exactly what the BMW team did. Were their others? Check and see which bikes turned a time of 1:32.224 or better........the Aprilla did......and how many others, if you care. I suggested that BMW will win at least one race this year and I think they will. What is wrong with you Chris? You seem to simply want to downplay BMW...........so go ahead.........but don't come down on me from afar. I have stated nothing that is not true, postive, and revelent. Go to another forum if you don't care for BMW and leave this one to people who enjoy it when their favorite bikes do well. How did the ENGLISH made bikes do? If everyone over the pond knew as much as you they should be able to build a "world beater." AS IF. BMW learned a lot last year. They, in their own way, are trying to correct their mistakes and continusly re-adjusting their bike. They started the season with a second in one race and a fifth in the other.................THIS IS GREAT NEWS.......and there is nothing you or any other naysayer or "wish-they-were," can do about it. Bravo BMW and their WSB effort.
