Moto America - NJMP - Sept 7-8 2019

Kyle’s bike sounds awesome. So glad to see Scholtz and JD looking like their old self’s. Same with Jake Lewis.

 

This is great! (Also, because two of my favorite riders are in the top 3)

 

JD and Matty made that exciting for a bit. Glad to see both teams figuring it out. Who knew JD’s chatter issues could be solved (it seems) by moving his body weight more forward.

Nice work by Jake to be able to run with Toni. Glad the announcers acknowledged that Yosh is perplexed about why they are slower than the last couple of years by a bit.

 

Is it me or have Herrin's results have been steadily sliding throughout the year?

 

Arms flying in the air again, twins back in action!!!

 

Looks like Parrish has an intermittent issue

 

So does Barnes but he’s not throwing gang signs!

 

What a save!!

 

He’ll still probably blame that on Draik.

Would love to see more fast Junior Cup guys in this class. Gapped everyone big time.

 

I doubt it. The slow mo shots from this morning showed the front end pogoing badly in a few of the corners. My moneys on that

 

Blackmon is killing it

 

I was being sarcastic. So much about Draik being inconsistent and making mistakes.. meanwhile he’s thrown it off the track on several occasions.

 

I was watching the second twins session this morning - they showed slow-motion shots of the bikes going through the same corner. I didn't see Madama, but Parrish and Beauchamp's bikes were chattering. Is the frame on the FZ-07 that stiff?

edit - ok see the above - is it the frame or the suspension? The SV's seemed to handle it just the fine.

 

Ducati smokin....

 

Looks like it. Watch Draik’s bike skip over the bumps. The other bikes look like they roll over them more. Something I’ve noticed before too. Are they all using AP shock packages?

 

Well that sucked. Lost Live+.

 

Still have it now. Dumas and Blackmon, unsurprisingly, class of the field.

 

The fronts have the K-Tech cartridges in them. I’m fairly certain they’re both using the KTech rear shock as well. Not sure what link either is using. If I remember from Sonoma Draik has the newest version. Not sure about Chris

 

Might be time to develop ($$$) their own packages. Those bikes look like they handle like overly stiff school buses.

Does Ohlins sell something that works for their bikes? Seems like having with having Ohlins guys at the track, it would be the way to go.

 

Did Turner install Murray’s bodywork?
