MM can’t seem to qualify on that bike with a good but not factory team. He has made multiple mid grid starts and made podium this year. Some folks are going to always hate his style, I’ve found myself in that camp, especially when he dominated at HRC for many years, made the sport boring to watch. But now, he is racing as if his career depended on it. After his crash, I thought he should hang it up for the weekend, then he podiums 2nd. Imagine the superior engineering of the Ducati factory team behind him to qualify what is possible. It will be interesting next season to see, but this season has already been a special one for the Marquez brothers.

MM 93, high sides over the weekend, breaks a finger, bruised ribs, qualifies 13th, finishes 2nd in GP race

The guy in the video quipped he would trade them all for a yellow Lamborghini.

audiomick- The initial bike is a bad start to the video. Most of the bikes had been restored by different people basically describing the owner as more of a buyer than restorer. But their are many cool bikes in this collection from two-strokes to 6 cylinder bikes. The Benelli had many Moto Guzzi sourced parts, looks like the front forks and triple tree, but I could be wrong.

Wow…….

Ducati is dominating…

2002 and newer?

Being constantly on podium and only winning one race is how A Rins won a championship on his Suzuki. 🤔 Marc is on a mission to show everyone he’s still got it. i hope Marc wins next too, but Jorge Martin is extremely fast. This makes for great racing drama, television ratings for MotoGP have to be up this year.

The question is can Marc win a race this season or score enough points to challenge the 2024 spec factory Ducati’s on his 2023 spec bike. 🤔

Agree 💯 Chuck, I took it a step further with Mivv’s on my Rosso Mandello. They are glorious.

Docc 101, B roads to almost no road, many turns and twist never getting on a dreaded 4 lane road ever. GPS ridden off the beaten path, the long way home, makes for a good ride on a V11 Sport.

Just installed Michelin Road 6’s 👍🏼, in stock short frame sizes 170/60ZR17 & 120/70ZR17

I agree not sure what’s going on here but, this is one of the 1st video’s w custom pipe on the V100 motor that I have found. Still sounds good. 👍🏼

The recall is way overdue, hopefully they will correct the issue completely and move on. I've driven a Model Y for about 5 months and had at east 3 software updates, its part of the ownership experience similar to owning a I-phone. Its a computer that happens to operate a car.

I always thought that Barber's was built for MotoGP style races but can't due to the inability to run fast enough top speeds. Maybe most of the tracks listed fall into this category, except Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Circuit of the Americas Austin. That doesn't mean most of them couldn't get altered to MotoGP specs.

Chuck question, did the Mike Rich pistons create more engine vibration?

https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_au/GUID-20F2262F-CDF6-408E-A752-2AD9B0CC2FD6.html Autopilot Features This topic describes how to enable and use the following driver assistance features. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: Like traditional cruise control, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control maintains a set driving speed. However, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control also slows down or accelerates Model 3 as needed to maintain the following distance from the vehicle in front of you. While Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is engaged, you are still responsible for steering Model 3 (see Traffic-Aware Cruise Control). Autosteer: Like Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, Autosteer maintains a set speed (if there is not a vehicle in front of you) or a set following distance (if there is a vehicle in front of you). In addition, Autosteer detects lane markings, road edges, and the presence of vehicles and objects to intelligently keep Model 3 in its driving lane (see Autosteer). Note Autosteer is a BETA feature. Auto Lane Change: When you engage a turn signal while Autosteer is active, Auto Lane Change moves Model 3 into the adjacent lane in the direction indicated by the turn signal (see Auto Lane Change). Navigate on Autopilot: Navigate on Autopilot builds on the features of Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer. While Autosteer is active, Navigate on Autopilot allows Model 3 to suggest and, if configured, automatically change lanes to pass other vehicles and follow the navigation route (see Navigate on Autopilot). Note Navigate on Autopilot is a BETA feature. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer use information from the cameras on Model 3 to detect lane markings, road edges, and other vehicles and road users around Model 3. CAUTION Before using Autopilot features, ensure that all cameras are clean and free of obstructions (see Cleaning a Camera). Dirty cameras and sensors (if equipped), as well as environmental conditions such as rain and faded lane markings, affect Autopilot performance. CAUTION It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the limitations of Autopilot and the situations in which driver intervention may be needed. For more information, see Limitations and Warnings.

I sent a story to Josh and Docc about a motorcyclists speeding and lane swapping and running into the back of a Tesla on a highway in Florida. The Model Y ramped up the speed at the last moments as the guy ran into the back glass of the car. The driver came to a controlled stop and the motorcycle (probably uninsured) rider jumped out hurt but alive and got onto the back of his buddies bike and initially ran from the seen. All of the same safety systems this thread has demonized in this case saved the guys life, most importantly the car seeing the motorcycle rider approaching at a much faster pace, so the Tesla accelerated to lessen the impact, before slowing back down, probably saving his life. The motorcycle was at fault so the safety technology of the Tesla in this case is seen as welcomed. "Lets not get wrapped around the axle" or stuck thinking that Tesla's are unsafe on a constant diatribe, because they aren't unsafe, period.
