that was too easy... let me see what else...

gosh, stoner and the traction control... geez, he's be no where if it wasn't for that

opcorn

dont forget rossi only does well cause of the bikes he gets:rofl

fuck, this thread rules

 

[Kurosaki]

V4s routinely records the highest
top speeds because they have the advantage of less aerodynamic drag and less main
bearing drag than an I4...

And they still lose championships.

oh no you didnt!

 

[jacksprat]

The subject matter makes no difference to me. Same guy

No way.

 

[stangmx13]

Routinely the less weight a bike carries quicker it will accelerate... but weight
does not effect top speed... aerodynamic drag does... V4s routinely records the highest
top speeds because they have the advantage of less aerodynamic drag and less main
bearing drag than an I4...

must not get sucked in to fruitless debate....... ugh

for someone that seems to focus a lot on the details, what i put in bold is a FAIL :thumbdown

 

[jacksprat]

, irregardless

That isn't a word.:nerd

Weight only affects top speed on a slope.

Otherwise top speed is a function of power, internal friction, and drag.

Good thing you edited that... for clarity. Otherwise, I might have missunderstood. :rofl

I thought we were talking about an aerodynamic advantage/dis-advantage. :loco

and for anything rolling on the ground, drag includes rolling friction esp w/ pneumatic tires. ill admit the term is much smaller than aerodynamic drag at the front straight braking marker at Phillip Island... but thats y i qualified my post w/ "for someone that focuses on the details."

oh no you didnt!

ohhhh yes I did!!!:ride

House can't come back, because, while he ignored me beating him up with Simoncelli winning the 250 class, I would go nuts with photos of Marco on the podium with 250 midgets. :laughing

Spies and Simoncelli - WFW smack down on bikes. Grrrr.



(Matching V4s, of course)

Bwahahaha! :teeth (courtesy Superbikeplanet)

'No bucks, no Buck Rogers. You're just Spam in a can. Who was the best pilot I ever saw? Well, uh, you're lookin' at 'im.' After three days of Spies pretending he was in The Right Stuff, his crew were ready for it to be over.

 

[clutchslip]

You, Americans. You all think you bad ass. You space shit don't mean nothin'. That crazy Jorge wants to be astronaut. F' him. F' you Binny Boy.

Finally got the email that the MCN fantasy league is open... but seems to be too many people on there cause I can't get a page to load.

Thread open and BARF League set up

Hopkins Defies Odds; May Make It Back To MotoGP



That's gotta be a hefty "May."
