What a start for the season, it was a really thrilling race yesterday at Losail…kept it us on our toes from lap one.

The Doctor claims the podium, but the star was Lorenzo…this dude is aggressive…he is the” No Guts…No Glory” type of guy.

Haga shares Valencia with the Suzuki rider Leon Haslam, Biaggi was the fastest…he pushed the Aprila to its limit, but it seams it  was not enough to win the race, and lost it to Haga in race two.

The dude is fast, and conspiracy theorists say: Losail circuit was built for the Ducati !!
Analyzing riders performance on different parts of the circuit one will find that Rossi was faster on the twisty parts of the circut, whereas Stoner was faster on the sectors that had more straights.
We just have to wait and see how the riders will perform when they face each other at 11pm 7:30pm today -Jazeera Sport 2-.

California Superbike School

I always get emails asking about motorcycle riding training, track days, and advanced training…some emails are from people who never been on a motorcycle and others are from people who has been riding for years, for those who has never been on a bike before, there is TriStar Motorcycle Academy….they offer a 7 day training program that teaches the basics of motorcycle riding and safety, students will learn balancing, throttle control, breaking, and cornering…the skills learned is enough to pass the riding license test and get you riding on public roads.

After riding on public roads for a while, riders can either do track days or join a riding school to enhance their ridding skills.

One of most reputed schools is California Superbike School, and fortunately we don’t have to go all they way to the US or Europe to attended any of their 5 programs…the school has been operating at the Dubai Autodrome for more than 5 years, and now at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, they offer 4 levels of  training and private coaching..riders can get their own bikes or just rent one from the school.

Check out their website.

Hyperpro suspension upgrade kit

April 5, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
 

I never liked the suspension on my Ducati Sport Classic and always thought its just too stiff… am not saying its not good, its just not good enough. It doesn’t give enough feel of the road, and since upgrading to Öhlins was way too expensive i decided to only replace forks internals, and the rear spring with Hyperpro combo kit.

Hyperpro is a Dutch company and one of the leading producers of motorcycle progressive suspension products, they are mostly famous for steering dampers, but they also produce complete shocks, front fork springs and height adjustment kits for alot of bikes. Progressive springs reduces the braking distance by 15 to 20 percent in comparison to a bike with linear springs, small bumps and irregularities in the road surface get absorbed immediately while large bumps or holes are intercepted by the more rigide part of the spring, this results in a bike that is faster on the circuit and safer on the highway.

It took almost 2 month for the kit to reach my Aramex box, and when it finally did Aramex refused shipping it because it had a bottle of suspension oil they also refused to trash the oil and ship only the springs, the only solution was to send the kit back to the supplier and ask him to ship it back without the oil.

Anyway the kit in now mounted on the bike, and it was worth the wait.. the bike feels like a totally different bike, the feedback from the suspension is so damn good.

I have always believed that one doesn’t need Öhlins suspension on the bike unless one is doing track days, but after this upgrade i guess i was wrong.
