The wheelies and the bike movement out of that last chicane are so good to watch.
 
Not sure why Iannone is heading out to top the time sheets on fresh tyres. To psych everyone out?

Probably printed in the full colour sandstone 3D printing option from Shapeways.com if anyone is keen to dabble in making 3D models and printing them out in full colour instead of hand painting them. I haven't printed with this material from them but I have with some others and it's pretty cheap and pretty good quality.

Not even sure if you really need to change the oil filters as frequently as the oil. Brush them down and run them again? Surely they wouldn't break down in their ability to filter out metal particles as rapidly as people change the oil if it is a half decent filter?

You'll have to check the service history on it against the maintenance schedule for the bike and check out what is due to be done on it:

Given that you are in the paddock, have access to riders etc and you participate in this sub reddit providing inside information makes me feel people should give you a way better time than they do. Heck, I doubt you have full control over headlines and content anyway. Not sure why people care so much on some things...

Are you guys all over the Facebook group Mulsanne's Corner and the associated website? It's pretty awesome. Just mentioning it on the off chance some of you weren't aware of it.

The developer tools in Chrome are so good for this.

motogp 内の regisgod によるリンク KTM have added Jerez to their testing schedule and sounds very promising, do we have any idea how competitive the bike is yet?

Increase the diameter of the steel and brace accordingly. Fabrication would be a lot faster for them but I feel the ultimate reason would be that they understand how to make frames out of this material the most with minimal weight penalty for them.

Awesome mate! I'm keen to know how you were going to try and replicate the droplets/air bubbles from Rapture as it would look very cool if you pulled it off.

I feel as though they should gift him 2 points so as to have finished on 39 points. Might be in bad taste though idk

Well if they have only just gotten their hands on the Michelin tyres that everyone has been racing with just now and the other teams have been playing around trying to get their bikes to work with the tyres for over 6 months I'd say that they will have a good chunk of work ahead of them to get it up to speed unless they've fluked it.

Stoner's bike in 2007 was a steel trellis frame although each frame felt slightly different which I guess would have been down to slight weld differences. No weight penalty of note and if that material is well understood by them and easier to manufacture due to not needing to make castings, they could well alter the performance of their frame to the rider's tastes more rapidly so it could be a good thing for them.

CalamariRaceTeam 内の [deleted] によるリンク Are my Angel GTs wearing funny?

[–]SellMeSomeSleep 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was riding some Michelin Pilot Sports on a mate's GSXR600 and had the same kind of 'wear' happen on it but it had less in the way of grooves near the centre. I can't see what the tyre profile is in that video to see just how flat the tyre is in the centre of the tyre.
On the GSXR the tyre needed replacement a fair bit prior based off groove depth and then this 'wear through' started happening eventually. To me it looked like it was a transition point between the outer grippy layer of the tyre and heading down into the carcass towards the belting in the tyre.

They should pay for a rent a crowd. Maybe bring over some nutters from Mugello. Less issues with fires out in the desert right?
