jihem

it's nice to see there seems to be a roll over at the front. The newbies are fast, Toseland impresses, the confirmed riders who have change teams seem happy with their decision, Rossi hasn't invented any new excuse yet, Colin is fast Stoner, as usual, has ridden only what was needed to get what he wanted: he's bleedingly fast on race tyres already. Only dark spot is Melandri who seems to develop the Capirex-On-The-GP7 syndrome. Hopefully he'll dial in and show everyone how good he truly is. But that Ducati is a beast to tame...

hey, shouldn't the head of the eagle be the other way ? naah, looks cool indeed.

no idea but it's fun !

I like the program also, it's very stylish, looks great and sounds brilliant. Plus there are some funny and intruiging ideas of tests here and there, it's rather interesting altho the humour is very "for the lads". Now, one thing I hate is how he so easily throw things at people but always get the last word; more often by just jumping to another question of poorly based laddish rthetoric. For instance, when James Blunt declared on his show he had a motorbike; a Moto Guzzi, Clarkson told him in a flash: " I didn't know you were an homosexual". see that blatant proof of intelligence HERE

Initially, the MGS01 was supposed to come out as a Ghezzi-Brian exercice.

unfortunately, you cannot have the GB frame AND the 6 speed box...it's been designed for the 5 speed box.

MCN just issued a quick test of the prototype.

ok, not a vegetable, but a saus: my 2002 Ghezzi sounds like a Tikka Massala that refuses to let go...

as long as it's not plagiat or cloning, there's nothing wrong with borrowing stuff, mashing it up; remixing it, adding spices and your own ingredients, and hopefully coming with something totally different at the end.

yes, i stepped on my english

I rode the 1200 S and find the engine really not lacking in the power department for a two valvers. The bike is definitively more of a long distance runner compared to the Griso 8V, just the way the rider is slightly less exposed to the wind, the seat is more comfy, and more confort for the pillion too. I think comparing the two isn't easy, but I would wait for the 8V to do its (very likely) maladies de jeunesse.

Just to give you an idea, the Ghezzi frame is also used as an airbox, and I believe it boasts more volume than a Tonti. There are two small entrance at the front. to suck air in. While this set-up works well when the engine isn't touched, adding a Scola cam and race exhausts made the breathing inadequate and no more could the frame be used as airbox and we had to find other ways to have the engine breathing enough so the "additional power" (cough...cough...) could be dialled in correctly. Hope this helps !

:) shut up pussycat

yes, germans, most definitively !

hey, it was fun to meet you, your wife and your friend! Next time, bring also the bike

amazing story ! merci !

me likey. what if the paint scheme would go even deeper with the italian flag colors ? like on this Ducati ?

thanx. interesting. and no doubt a new launching bay for intellectual copyright infringements...

Well, i guess you may not want to paint your beautiful 1100 racing red-yellow-black to match our Belgian's colors ? You made a very good point with the "static' impact of some colors. Why not matte green, like the MilleCento team, but adding some touches of white and red in a dynamic way, towards the rear end of the bike ? A bit like Ducati used to do the seats on their bikes (small lines of white on red).

didn't know Village People had wheels.

the KTM RC8 and the Bimota DB7 look so similar it's rather industrially dubious
