Test Riding Day
I went to Al Corniche Club today to visit the TriStar guys and to test ride some of the bikes they had, the weather was nice and the event was well organized, a lot of bikers showed up..it was like a bikers’ gathering…some female bikers were also there.
We have ridden almost all the bikes they had there, then ended up riding each other bikes….it was a like a bike orgy.
Miss Lebanon Emigrant of Kuwait happened to be there and was in her Halloween costume which matched the colors of my bike. 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

The legend to be
With today’s win Jorge Lorenzo reduces the gap to 18 points between him and Rossi, although Rossi had some technical issues with the bike, Lorenzo gave us a great race today, Stoner was back in shap and finished second which is very good for someone that has been sick and away from the track for a while.
Lorenzo’s character and racing style is developing race by race, he still did not develop the charisma of the Doctor, but i feel he will get there and even out run him.
Valentino Rossi…The Web – goes live-
And its a cool as the Doctor http://www.valentinorossi.com/

Why we ride bikes
Seven-time F1 champ Michael Schumacher has spoken out on his two-wheeled racing escapades, saying he finds motorcycle racing more of a thrill than four wheels.
In a recent interview, Schumacher said:
“It is very different, you have to learn it from scratch — and exactly this is what makes it so fascinating for me. You know, on four wheels I know it all, there is nothing more I can learn or achieve. On two wheels though, I am just like a kid, trying out everything. Of course the feeling I have for driving, for lines, for tyres or my experience in racing situation helps me a lot, but in the end you are much more active with your body on a motor bike. And as it is so direct, the sensation is even higher. I really like it, it is big fun.”

Nice weather eh?
The weather was very bad the last couple of weeks and i did not get a chance to enjoy a ride, i was hopping to ride today but the weather is damn good for riding… i miss waking up early on Friday -i never wake up early for work- and meeting the other nuts to slice a couple of curves and make some noise….i miss the rush when going into a curve not knowing if u’ll mange to do it or not…u try to stay within limits but that 100+ hp between ur legs has a mind of its own..and u just have to obey.
I hope the weather gets a bet worse tomorrow.
