Well hes not staying with Tech 3 and the other Factory seats are taken. Looks like Ducati is his only option and that's not a good one.

 

well, i would assume that's where cal's going to go. nicky just admitted that he, for sure, will not be at ducati for '14.

 

oh, and BADS1, you're right - that's not where he should go. ducati is the career ender imo.

and he's so good.


so what's going to be so different about CRTs next year? are they going to start running leased motors from the big manufacturers? i guess i don't fully understand the rules change

 

Man I need to catch up! I stopped watching back in France! And I should have bought tickets for Laguna Seca since its an hours drive away but I didn;t think I would be home in time. Anyone wanna sell theirs?

 

i hear that man! i've been living in hotel rooms for the last 8 weeks - so i think the last one i saw was france too. no hotels have speedtv - and sports bars aren't open at 7 and 8 am when it airs on speed! i've already found a local sports bar that has speed so i know i'll be able to watch laguna tar

i'm sure you could run up there and buy tickets (i know it won't be the cheapest option), but just ride up there on sunday and grab a good shady spot. that's what i'd do. it's totally worth it if you can go.

 

MotoGP races posted up. You're welcome

 

pretty good race. i hope all the CBRF'ers that attended had fun. im surprised cal didn't finish in front of jlo and dani - i thought they would have gone backwards with their injuries. i'm glad nicky beat dovi. i would have loved to see bradl win the race - but marquez doing it his first time to the track is pretty special.


here comes silly season.

 

Laguna is not that complex of a track, actually. The Corkscrew is intimidating your first few times through but if you stay on pavement, there is really no way to get it "right or wrong"...What a fun combo of corners, that.

I wonder what the 'Noise Police' at Laguna thought of the GP bike's exhaust notes? They're usually so strict that many stock factory exhaust systems do not comply with the db. limits. I had to install an extra muffler on my Porsche racecar and still get out of the throttle as I went past the noise control station going up the hill..

Impressive rider, Marquez..

 

well... looks like casey just couldn't stay away

I have never heard someone say theres no way to get it wrong. I've done a track day there and its a Blind corner. You have to set up for it before you see it to get it right.
