And now for something completely different :

Here's an interesting review of the Diavel from The New York Times.  My favorite part of the reviewer's test ride: "I imagine that the sensation is somewhat like handling a loaded pistol that’s been cocked and then coated in grease: a lot of my energy is directed to just making sure no one gets hurt."

Good, detailed review from a non-traditional moto source  

Thanks for the review! 

I can say that I'm in LOVE with my Diavel. I couldn't have made a better choice for myself, so call me "Fringe."

Hope to see you soon.

PS - in the article, the author pronounces it Dee-AH-Vull, which is the bastardized American pronunciation.  It is more correctly Dee-AH-Vehl.

haha! you are trying to tell us how to pronounce things!    Here's a few words you'll never get unanimity in pronunciation of: Termignoni, Voir Dire, lever.

people look at you strange when you say vwah deer...   there's no mistakes when you simply say " jury pickin' "

So does a "video pass" on MotoGP.com include the 125 and 250 races?

It includes way more than that.  All racing, all interviews with riders/teams etc that come up after all sessions, practices/qualy, plus you get access to virtually all the archived races.  I'm on my third year of subscription.  Best money I throw away every year.  There are lots of other videos recapping action and teams during the year as well.  You also get a discount for returning subscriptions the following year.

Awesome.  Thanks for the info; it's a done-deal!   

Just a brief follow-up on the MotoGP video subscription I got yesterday; for anyone who may be undecided about its value (like I was for about a year    ), do it!  Half price sice it's already halfway through the season.
