Any word on what kind of lap times he was running? Or was it less balls to the wall and just more seeing how the bike handled?
Either way nice sound when that baby fired up [thumbsup]

what are you doing? only i can post in this thread!
;)
You notice that Rossi endorses the engine and the rear end. What about the front? [bang]
FAP FAP FAP FAP
Now, just get rid of that 21 liter fuel limitation and figure out some way to limit to get rid of electronic controls. Then we'll be cookin' with gas. [evil]
so yeah... 1000cc = still looking down.

Just cuz they upped the displacement doesn't mean Rossi can't keep lookin' for that penny he dropped the last time he was there.
I think he missed the apex...by about an inch. [bow_down] It amazes me how precise pro rider's lines are.

booo someone in this thread just jynx'd it by talking about the front end :P
I wonder if they will do a separate video for Nicky's test tomorrow?

Pretty much all pro riders have precise lines. Rossi isn't the only one that can hit an apex.
No vid but there's this...

[thumbsup] Nice. I like that they put the first podium finish at the beginning of the video, also the still
shot at the very end is excellent. [evil]

Cool video, but it's hard to imagine they could have picked worse music for it. I'm sure they could have, but it would have been tough. :P
