I dont think that the factories recoup ALL the money they pay those three through bike sales but..........thats another topic altogether. <BR/><BR/>With the budgets tremendously smaller in moto/superX and support difficult to get/keep; mouths are a lot tighter in those series compared to the big budgets and loose lips in motoGP. <BR/><BR/>I love it when Reed tells it straight up, something not from off the cue cards. Windham has been doing it lately also. Its refreshing to hear something besides "the B'stones hooked up great today"<BR/><BR/>Just my .02!!!<BR/><BR/>As for this GNCC'er, i buy my bikes on color and price alone mate. My gear purchasers are decided by who is supporting the series i run (GNCC, NCHSA) not what gear Reed,Jarret, Knight, or Wattsy are wearing. <BR/>OK maybe Wattsy!!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>What was this post about again!!NCaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202854953352274338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7089626435265907904.post-22664960798655972252008-01-31T11:03:00.000-05:002008-01-31T11:03:00.000-05:00It was interesting last year when Coppins brakes t...It was interesting last year when Coppins brakes totally took a crap on his Yamaha.<BR/>There was talk that they had stones getting stuck in somewhere or something , which sounds like a load of bollocks , but even if it were true Rinaldi couldn't hit those little keys fast enough to type an e-mail stating that it wasn't the bike.<BR/>That's just the trouble though , if they just stand there and verbally vomit their list of sponsors on the podium like little automatoms people think they are as boring as crap - which they are .If you actually say something slightly negative everyone thinks you're a whiner.<BR/>Even Jason Lawrence wanted us all to know his bike worked great at A-2, it just always takes 15 minutes to start when it gets a little hot.<BR/>Bloody hell Lawrence , don't go white bread on us, not you , not now!!<BR/>Lets right this wrong. NOW ! I had a 1990 KX 250 which was a pile of shit , frame broke , wheels, broke , cylinders failed , brakes sucked , seat lasted 3 rides, plastic broke just by looking at it.<BR/>THAT KAWASAKI WAS A PILE OF SHIT !!

We are not burning books, yet, but we are receiving pressure NOT to print articles that are not politically correct. <BR/><BR/>Cycle News is bucking the system by printing Michelin woes. But in reaction they risk Michelin not advertising with them.<BR/><BR/>Censorship by advertiser.<BR/><BR/>CharlieMom!

I was pumped to hear him blowing up his people over the mic, talking about how they can't get those brakes fixed. I thought it was funny and something that should happen more often.<BR/><BR/>As for the brakes, that's an awesome question. I'll have Holley look into that next weekend. Then we'll talk about something new. When we're on the Internet.

It actually leads me to a question I've wondered about for a while: Why don't factory bikes run rear disc protectors on their brakes (which come standard on stock bikes) but always run a front disc cover (that doesn't come stock on some machines). Factory bikes are far from stock, but wouldn't they want to protect both brake discs as much as possible?<BR/><BR/>As far as the MotoGP stuff goes, when Michelin riders win the majority of races for years and years and then suddendly Bridgestone riders are filling out almost the entire top 10 at any given race, you knew something was up and that the Michelin riders weren't happy.<BR/><BR/>I'm hopeful for the Nationals. The newly tightened up schedule is a good sign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
