Smoking The Competition
Masoud is having an exciting time in Spain, this is his second day at the launch of the S1000RR, and this is what he has to say:
“This is pretty intense. I never in my wildest dreams expected this from the Bavarian giants. We went through some intensive training today about the S1000RR (or as they like to call it here…the RrrrRrrr). Read more

A Bat From Hell

” Landing in Barcelona, I was wisked away to a secret location. It seemed like I was headed to a Nucluer Reactor’s location. The driver wouldn’t tell me where we were headed to (or he just didnt understand a word of english)… Read more

See you next season
So the 2009 World SBK season is over.
We’ve won the constructors title, the Superstock 1000 category, have obtained 34 podiums with our Superbike riders and second and third place in the world championship. But it’s not enough and we go without the “cherry on the cake”. We believed that we could do it all year and until the last lap of the last race but unfortunately the rider’s title has escaped us.
I want to thanks, however, all the members of the team and those people at home who assist us day to day. Noriyuki and Michel have provided us with an emotional season and an hour after the end of the championship they were already looking ahead to this week’s test days, here at Portimao, in order to be even more competitive next year, to win a title that we lost by just a few points this time around.
At this point I would also like to address some comments that we have heard since the final race…. Read more
No Helmet, No Jacket, No Boots
No Brain…
I was on my way to the office in the morning when i saw this guy, actually his bike got my attention its a BMW Cruiser R 1200 C , the guy was not wearing any safety gear what so ever, he was talking on his mobile…he had the mobile in one hand and was steering the bike with the other one….we were coming towards a green traffic light so i slowed down hopping it becomes red and i can take a photo of him.
We were lucky and it did become red, but the guy was so into his phone call that he passed it not knowing that it was red already!!
i guess god don’t want any idiots up there… idiots belongs down here.
Ben Spies claims 2009 World SBK title
For the first time ever, a rookie rider wins the world title in his first season, and with this win Yamaha Teams’ claimed both the 2009 MotoGP and World SBK tiltes.
Ducati came second in the 2009 SBK but first in the manufacturers standings -best production bike-
Stoner claims Sepang
And Rossi claims the 2009 world title…
On the other hand i truly believe that Stoner absences from the previous races made the job very easy to the Doctor, in the last 2 races Stoner was performing like never before…it was as if he was on a bike from a different class, the gap between him and rest of the racers was huge..and no one could get close to him.
Becuase of the rain, the race today did not have much action… hope the last race of the season be much more intresting.
Optimate™ 3+ Desulfating Battery Charger
I haven’t been riding my bikes this summer, i was either traveling or the weather is too hot to ride…i think more than 4 month have past since i last started them up…that made the batteries really weak, but they were still able to crank the engine, so i figured if i don’t do something about it really quick they will probably die and have to change them.
So i went and bought the Optimate 3+ battery charger, the charger comes with a Ducati adapter and i bought an extra adapter for the BMW, it verify, tests, and confirms whether the battery can retain sufficient charge to crank the engine, it applies ‘first aid’ for up to 2 hours, to recover the battery so it can again accept charge…then it engages the long term maintenance mode, it “floats & tests” 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, so the battery is always 100% ready, but never overcharged.
I hooked it to the BMW and left over night to charge, the next morning i went to check it just to find out that the cleaners decided to hose the parking and that my Optimate 3+ was completely wet…it was actually swimming in a small pool of water but still working!! i unplugged it and went to read the manual to check what could be done…to my surprise the thing turns out water broof!!
Lesson learned: always read the manual before operating anything no matter how silly you may think it is.
A classic fight
Today’s race at Phillip Island was a classic, Stoner was in top physical condition giving the spectates a show to remember with his high speed slides, Rossi was trying every trick in the book to bypass him but the Australian was too fast and maintained the lead all the way to the checker flag.
Lorenzo crashed out at turn one of the first lap after touching Nicky Hayden bike, he was lucky to escape the crash with only a small injury to his pinky.
