Tonight at 4am -Kuwait local time- the first round  of the 2011 world super bike championship kicks-off at Phillip Island.

Carlos Checa set the quickest lap ever recorded around Phillip Island on his Althea Racing Ducati 1098R -1 minute 30.882 seconds-, thus grabbing the first Superpole trophy of the year, Biaggi came second on the Apprila, and Haslam forth on the S1000 RR.

I believe its gonna be an intense race, with the three aggressive boys at the poles.

The New Green

I have been asked many times about the new Kawasaki ZX10-R, but all i could say was that Kawasaki USED to “Let the good times roll”….especially that they issued a technical recall on the ZX10-R a month after it the launch.

I did not get an invitation to the launch at Lossil in Qatar last Nov, so i haven’t ridden the green yet, and i can only quote whatever is circulating around the net and what the journalists that rode it has to say.

MCN did a group test last week between the ZX-10R, S1000RR, Honda Fireblade, Yamaha R1 and Suzuki GSX-R1000, and the above video should summarize it.

Our Harley, bobbers, poppers friends, or whatever they call their bikes has been bragging about how fast and powerful their bikes are, they also subtitled parts of movies in an effort to hide their failure against the Beemers and the DUCs.

For a while they won the media war on FB, so i deiced to shoot a little video that shows who is really wining these traffic light drag races, i raced them with my 1000cc Ducati Sport Classic and i didn’t even unleash all the horses…they are running 1750cc stroker engines.

The Sting Of The BumbleBee is also available in  HD, enjoy.

Having to meet the stringent anti-pollution rules and environmental requirements of the European emission standards, factories’ engineers had to linear the air fuel mixture of engines, and that had a negative effect on performance, thats why we use devices like Power Commanders, Tune Boy, Rapid Bike..etc, BoosterPlug is a cool plug and play gadget for your beemer that require no Dyno tuning, it will trick the ECU to think the air temperature is lower than the actual readings, and the ECU will richen the airfuel mixture by a certain amount -from aprox 14,4 : 1 to 13,6 : 1 – which will make your bike run much better and smother, and it will :
• Improve and softer throttle response when rolling the throttle on-off. 

• Remove the Jerky low speed running that is typical for modern lean burn engines.
• Reduce Puffing in your aftermarket exhaust on engine braking.

BoosterPlug is only available for most BMW motorcycles and and the Triumph Tiger 1050.
