I'm sure one of your crew could take care of her for you....:deathslap:

Like your customers take care of Komaki for you?

only in black cause he can't run Ducati branded stuff because he's still technically under contract with Yamaha.

yup, or at least that's the way they show it when they put the graphic up on the tv screen.

well not really. He rode the RC211V 990. Not even close to the same bike as the 800.

Stoner's adaptation was his most impressive feat yet. I think that HAD to worry Lorenzo a bit.

And you guys are on crack about the gear box. You think they want to be guessing wether they hit first gear or not while riding at that pace?
