  4. Speculation Lowes will not be riding a factory Kawasaki next year. Andy
     
  5. You are not missing much, Haynes and Toseland are woeful. Andy

  6. BMW seem to have rather too many riders it seems, sykes, gerloff (who I think will be dumped), Redding, Baz (who's always popular), VDM (always injured).

    It's fine getting rid of Lowes if they feel he's underperforming but tbf no team mate of jonny's has 'survived' as they just build the bike around him. it's the Marquez syndrome but in wsbk.

    and yeah, the commentary team are awful, I've really lost a lot of time for Toseland.
     
  7. I always live in the hope that SR45 will get away from that POS bike, and hes certainly an upgrade on A Lowes imho. Would be good to see him alongside JR, might make it a bit more interesting (and Lowes has been faster *at times than JR on that Kwak so the potential for Redding to go faster is definitely there).
     
  8. Poor Tito, why would you bother?
    That bike hasnt finished a single race this year so far (as far as i recall).
     
  9. Tito brings CASH though doesn't he

  10. Well, Tito’s dad does :D Andy
     
  11. According to Toseland during WSBK FP2, Pirelli tyres now have extremities : unamused: That’s probably why Bautista has legs on everyone else :joy: Andy

  12. Why would you take it to that shit shower though?!
     
  13. Sykes has done well to be half a tenth off Redding too.
     
  14. Probably an indication of how awful the Puccetti Kawasaki is. Andy

  15. Have you ever watched any of the Josh Brookes stuff talking about the early wsbk/wss rides? he said he rode a WSBK Kawasaki (i think it was) for a few rounds, but the team had a dash fail, and had no budget so he ran the bike in the race with a piece of cardboard with a drawing of a dash on it so that if the TV panned passed it didn't look like it was missing parts. Ridiculous

  16. That's worth a WTF and as you say, ridiculous. Andy
     
  17. Haha I think we need a new forum poll. Hand drawn dash or clear clutch cover.

  18. What do we all think about the yellow v4 then?
    Bit of a dogs dinner imo and certainly no throw back to the 70’s/90’s bikes as turkey teeth kept banging on about.

    Anyhooo, another crap “race”.
