The number of times I turned the telly off and went to bed in disgust after another Bayliss crash in the MotoGP. Why the hell do they have so much trouble in MotoGP when they are the kings of SuperBikes?
Sorry, not the MotoGP bikes, the superbikes. No time fer MotoGP.
The MotoGP bikes are so far removed from the real world it just ain't funny. The Ducati superbikes are just incredible pieces of gear... I've ridden Suzuki and Yamaha Superbikes and I also had a crack at one of the factory Ducati 996 Corsa's - it was down on outright power compared to the jap bikes but what it had could be used so much more and the confidence the frame/suspension gave was incredible.
They're sorta like a chooky with a V8.
I've ridden road 916/996's on the track and it's a similar sort of thing... not fantastic on the straights but when you get to the corners... yeehaaawww!!
