    Now, MY '02 R1!

    Okay, I just got the bike back. It's been almost five months since my track day High Side. First test ride tonight. Bike will stall at stop signs. Won't idle. Do fuel injection bikes have an idle? Seems the '99 had that little knob on the left side that took care of that. The bikes been in two...

    Ducati Wants More Displacement

    "***** please..." "Ducati Wants More Displacement" :wow For years, decades even, WSBk has been referred to as the "Ducati Cup" but I didn't hear them chiming in and saying, "We ought to let the inline fours go to 1000cc's now. They're at the end of their development cycle." That is their...

    1984 or 2006? The former, I believe!

    I got nailed by the freeway Photo Radar yesterday. 75 mph and I will get a $100+ ticket and points for basically not paying attention to the "area" I was in. I was on a 3-lane freeway, right lane, no one in front of me, two beside me that I was passing because they were going the same speed in...

    Valentino Rossi- Autobiography

    I just bought it off of Superbike Planet and it's a great read, even if you're not a motorcycle enthusiast. It reads like a well-written business plan and you can see where his success, which was not immediate (Rossi in 14th place?? No way!), was nurtured. A. He figured out what he wanted to...

    Pedrosa Puny, Hayden a Heffa!

    Take a peek at this! At the opening round of the 2006 MotoGP series we saw Dani Pedrosa come past both Marco Melandri and Nicky Hayden, without much effort, to take second place in his first MotoGP race ever. Less weight equals more acceleration, slower fuel consumption and longer tire life...

    Hey, what smells?

    Oh, it's Zegna. The new Ducati fragrance. The $60 bottle is black and has the famous Ducati stripe up the side. It smells of Patchouli and Cashmere Wood. Mmmmm.... mmmm... :jaded Personally, I just stand behind my R1, soak in some fumes, and rinse off in some Prego. :shhh Before you know it...

    What happened to Superbike Planet?

    Is it just my system or is SuperbikePlanet.com been down for the last day or two? Did they change address? Also, while I'm on it, I cannot get my photos on www.motogp.com to open when I click on them. Fortunately, the video still works but none of the thumbnails open. I had this problem two...

    Rossi

    I'm wondering if Valentino will win Sunday or not and moreover, am curious to see what percentage of people "want" him to win, or would rather see someone else. Let's vote.

    MotoGP starts this weekend!

    Any predictions? I'm taking Sete for the upset. If not him, the only other one I can see beating Rossi is Loris. Maybe Pedrosa, the other Spaniard. Are you excited or not?

    2006 GP Wallpaper... NOT here yet

    I sent an email to MotoGP.com today to see if they'd send out a Calendar for 2006. Seems awful close to Sete Day (I think he's going to win in Spain this weekend). Last year we had a calendar from each team and an assortment of riders at that. I'm surprised they haven't put one out yet. I'll...

    Rossi vs. Hopkins. A new rivalry?

    I watched the BMW time test wrap on MotoGP.com and to be honest, thought I'd be bored out of my socks. However, with it being done in the rain, it made it more interesting. Kenny, Carlos, Hopkins, Rossi, and a host of others all hit the deck and Colin won the BMW. During the timing session, the...

    MotoGP Bet and Win .com question

    Has anyone bet on MotoGP through www.betandwin.com ? I tried to register but the U.S. isn't one of the choices of residence, just Virgin Islands and something else, U.S. sovereign. I was looking forward to losing some money on the races in a couple of weeks. My picks, thus far ($10 on each to...

    Daytona? Is that a car?

    Be honest. Is anyone even remotely pumped about that event? :x I love this sport as much as anyone but that's an event that seems to "re"gress as opposed to "pro"gress. I get the impression that even the riders don't like it.:shhh With a brilliant WSBk championship in the making, a "new...

    World Superbike Broadcast/Webcast/Telecast/Anything??!!

    I don't have cable t.v.. Is there a web site that web casts the races like MotoGP.com and Supercross.cc do? Tonight's supercross has all the makings of a horror show now. Reed, with no wins on the season, leads Carmichael and Stewart, as both crashed last week and they are all now just single...

    Where's the respect??!!

    Every article I've seen on WSBk this year mentions nothing of Regis Laconi. Then, when Superbike Planet interviewed Ben Bostrom on his favorites for the title as well as a few victories, again, no mention of Regis. Either the guy must be really hated or invisible. How can a guy win seven WSBk...
