[idbuellxb9]

nice set up!!

 

[okey]

the first thing EVER in a man's cave is a beer fridge..Where is it man???

 

[GOduc]

unfortunatly not, thats a good idea though i like that [up][up] further over to the left is the bike lift and the ac unit (since its so damn hot in texas)

 

[WALLSXB]

Nice PINK V-Rod GoDuc ! Do you use that as bait to draw in the chickys ?[confused]

I got to watch in person!!! EBR bike looks and sounds awesome. As a KTMdirtbike rider for years I gotta say the KTM was looking good too! I expect you'll see big things from both in the future. On a side note. I've never seen so many squids in one place in my entire life!!

GOduc, nice set-up. Someday, I too, will have a mancave like that.


Back on topic: Let us keep in mind that if anyone of us were to buy an 1190 from EBR, it would be the same bike Geoff is racing: Only street legal..................

 

[GOduc]

Ya I think there's still going to be a learning curve moving from the 1125 to the 1190. Maybe something different is in store for us on Sunday .......Lets wait and see!!! On another note the lightweight class was a damn good fun race to watch as well!![up][up]

Daytona sportbike is awesome week in and week out .i watch motogp ,wsp i have to give it to the 600 class just a blast to watch always at least 5 guys going for the win

Well with finishing 11th on that track first time around I hope they get all the bugs ironed out by tomorrow and finish 8th or better and top 5 would hopefully make HD feel a little stupid for cutting buell

Was I the only one to notice, when they showed the final results, they used the "BUELL" logo, and not "EBR"?

 

[uly luigi]

It was also good of Speed to use the 1st little interview piece to introduce the 1190, I wonder how much practice Geoff had with the additional wait added under the tail, does AMA stipulate a standardized placement of the weight, or could EBR add a couple of pounds, say to the underslung muffler to lower the COG, maybe Geoff himself could eat a little more lasagna before race day, it was kinda unclear about the weight, was it because the bike is just too light over all, or is it a penalty weight?

 

[hdstn]

Speed has been using the "BUELL" moniker all season but the announcers called it as Geoff May on the EBR.

IIRC the 1190 is rule book underweight so they have to add. Not sure what the rules say about how they have to do it.

I thought it was awesome at the end when they went split screen with the battle for the lead on the right and May, J.D. Beach and another on the left that were racing for 9th

 

[uly luigi]

yeh, that was sweet, EBR and KTM battling for a decent position both on brand new bikes, I wonder if KTM had the extra weight also?, I'm sure Geoff is racing conservatively for now, I know when I was at Barber last year, they were as bare bones as one of us doing a track day.

 

[onelogue]

any video footage?

 

[CBi]

Maybe it's just the picture....either Geoff is a little dude, or the 1190 is a big bike!

 

[uly luigi]

both, actually Geoff is kinda tall, for a jockey, 5-8, maybe 5-9, but real light, he might weigh 160lbs in gear,

 

[oisterska]

any video footage?

AMA SBK 2011 Mid Ohio video recap

I was looking for the whole damn thing, this is the best i could find. Enjoy!

 

[onelogue]

Yeah i saw that video, but Geoff didn't get much attention in that one. Is there ways to purchase the races online?

 

[uly luigi]

I bet you can get it from speed channel, but it is on again today, right now in fact

 

[uly luigi]

sport bike is on now, highlights next
