You guys always crack me up! [laugh] [laugh]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

That's insane.  You can watch the front and back tires jumping across the pavement.  That has to be hell to hang on to.

I read somewhere a comment from a Bridgestone rep where he said it didn't look like "usual" chatter.  He descibed it as low frequency (?) chatter where the tire grips and lets go and grips and lets go.  Lemme see if I can track it down.  

Found it:

Occasionally AFM #702  My stuff:  The M1000SS, a mashed r6, Vino 125, the Blonde, some rugrats, yuppie cage, child molester van, bourbon.

I *hope* he's right.  Cuz if that's what "usual" chatter looks like, I'm certain that'd get off the bike immediately, curl into a ball at the nearest flag station and cry for my mommy til they brought the scooter to cart me off to my shrink.  I certainly wouldn't ride it race distance at speeds over 200 mph.

That crash didn't look nice where his hand got caught in the fairing.  :o

I remember seeing Rossi's bike have that kind of chatter in one slow-mo sequence last year.

Except it was the front, and the tire bounced about 4 times then folded.  :P
