moto-vation: December 2007

http://moto-vation.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

RUMOR: motogp to go to single ecu? Thursday, December 27, 2007. After reading dennis noyes' article on. I'm torn (like an old sweater) between the two sides. the world's premier class of motorcycle racing should be both the bastion of technological development as well as great entertainment. . Enter carmelo ezpeleta, ceo of. But isn't motogp supposed to be the epitome of motorcycle technology? Every 2008 liter bike has traction control. so now a run-of-the-mill production bike has this technology but...

moto-vation: cbr1000rr: from bland to bitchin'

http://moto-vation.blogspot.com/2008/02/cbr1000rr-from-bland-to-bitchin.html

Cbr1000rr: from bland to bitchin'. Sunday, February 17, 2008. Don't get me wrong, honda's cbr1000rr aka fireblade is some serious kit. it has been given a major update this year and journo's have given it stellar reviews despite the stiff competition. great engine, great suspension, great controls, great styl. fuck no! The styling is atrocious! That is until i peeped the race-prepped version. The short motogp-inspired exhaust looks great and clearing off the license plate assembly cleans up the tail.

Aprilia reveal next gen superbike. Aprilia has been on hard times lately but the italian bike maker is slowly making a comeback. scooter giant piaggio acquired the struggling company several years ago and the investment appears to be paying off….

moto-vation: coffee talk with masao furasawa

http://moto-vation.blogspot.com/2008/02/motogp-paddock-gossip.html

Coffee talk with masao furasawa. Wednesday, February 13, 2008. I can hear it now. yamaha's engineering gm, masao furasawa, dressed in drag and talking in a jewpanese-brooklyn accent. i swear it's the weather. . Is it me or does it seem that the teams in the motogp paddock have been unusually candid during the preseason tests? From the theoretical point of view we don't need to use the pneumatic valves, because the rev limit is around 19,000 rpm [achievable with valve-springs]. Furasawa also adamantly den...

brain bucket | moto-vation

https://motovation.wordpress.com/2008/07/08/brain-bucket

While perusing the crooked river motorcycles’. Showroom, a helmet on caught my eye. it was a suomy vandal bayliss replica. how apropos that the lone suomy helmet in the shop was of ducati’s veteran wsbk master. i said that if my friend bought a 1098 that i’d buy the helmet. as you can see, he bought the bike. Anyway, enough of my bitching. the styling, ventilation, and quality of this helmet are top-notch. it’s a big improvement over my 8 yr old gunwind. Feed You can leave a response. From your own site.

indy or bust | moto-vation

https://motovation.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/indy-or-bust

A couple friend and i made the trip out to the hoosier state for last weekend’s inaugural indy gp. it was an eventful weekend that will be forever remembered. The weather on sat was perfect – sunny and 80 deg f. we had a hulman suite which runs down the straight on the outside of the track (thanks, pepsi). it had a great vantage point. you could see from turns 11 to start/finish. best thing, they had paddock passes! Very entertaining to watch them bash fairings and overcooking corners. love it! Who was a...

June 22, 2008. After a month on hiatus, things haven’t changed much on the personal front. let’s just say i have more free time on my hands. so i thought i’d try to keep myself busy and restart posting. I went for a ride this afternoon after enjoying some french toast and oj for brunch when a testy storm system barged through the cleveland area. i was heading down I-71 to medina to meet up with phil to christen my new babolat.
