Brillo keeps the drug from flowing down the pipe and in place so it can burn.....kinda like the flow restrictor on an oil line from the tank to the intake.

Before "District 9".

doohan is doing it right. look at the difference of torso placement. the hoodie guy's butt is off the saddle, but his body is at least over the center of the bike.

The "hoodie guy" is my brother. He enjoys his ZX10 as much as possible. Not sure he'llknow who Mick Doohan is but I think he'll appreciate the comparison even so.

ah, well, i knew it was going to be someone's friend or such. he should enjoy the comparison: mick doohan is a legend in gran prix motorcycle racing. the zx10 is a nice ride, ~175HP, IIRC, and relatively light for that power. i ride with a guy that has one. he is wicked fast.
