    Suzuki is coming strong for 17!! The bitch cleans up nice. Looks great in race trim! What's the deal with the swingarm?

    And that Ducati does look like a frankenbike and just not well thought out. I am disappoint :(

    You have to use the road when you are racing from restaurant to restaurant, bar to bar.

    It also makes it easier for the truck to come pick you up when your bike blows and needs to go back for recall work.

    Come on now, no need to make fun of anyone with the balls to run the Isle.

    Why's that? Is MotoAmerica employing the same grid position thing that WSBK is where the fastest guys are gridded at the back?

    Last time he switched teams,he went from hawk to Milwaukee Yamaha. This time Hawk racing switched bikes ( BMW =>SUZUKI) so it's not the same situation.

    I meant when he ditched the bike right before the event because he didn't think he could win. So he left Milwaukee Yamaha and raced his own bikes that year.

    Yes ,that's what I'm talking about. He went to a completely new bike (R1) but more importantly to a completely new ,to him , team . This time the people that surround him are the same ,he's at home, he did not change team. So there are little to none chances that things are gonna go that bad.

    If you haven't seen "The Road" then you should. A documentary about the Dunlop family.

    I saw it as: He tried something great, winning on a new bike. Halfway through practice he decided it can't win, so he doesn't want to ride it. So thanks, but I'm off to my old bike.

    I thought it was kind of shitty

    I didn't take as great or shitty - would need to know a lot more about the team and behind the scenes to make that call.
