Makes you wonder why they are only making a hundred of them then?!

Yeah but 127bhp with a weight of 181kg is nothing to write home about.
Any one of a dozen bikes is gonna leave it for dead in the traffic
light grandprix.

yeah? So how come it's been dominating Superbike all year then?

 

????? The only thing the FP1 has been dominauing this season is tha
safety car. <FX: googles> Hmmmmm 12th and 26th.

To put this domination is context: Shane Byrne and John Rynolds came
16th & 17th in WSB.

 

I don't know what version of Superbike you've been watching, but hte
only thing the FP1 has been dominating this year is the gravel trap or
failing that the pit-garage.

You mean you missed james haydon's several wins then?

 

Eh? JH finished 26th in the WSB chamionship with 12 points
(4 + 1 + 7 at the first three rounds), Since a win gives you
25 points...

Even Corser only finished 12th with 107 points - the highest
being an 11 point haul at PI.

I think my problem was I was watching it with my patented "Foggy Rose
Coloured Spectacles".

Those were only visible to people watching on acid-vision.

Nonononono... What we've got here is one of them space-time continuum
loops I expect[1]. The posts are coming back in time from *next year*.

My advice is get down the bookies quick and stick a few bob on JH to
win.

[1] A physicist will be along shortly[2] to explain.
[2] Unless he's already been, in which case you already knew that.

Apparently one did. Well according to the post we had from the year
after next saying that his theories were bollox.

 

For JH to win, you've got to be thinking of a parallel universe, aswell
as another time. Despite the BBC commentators insisting that he is
"unlucky".

 

waves hands.

Isn't this missing something? Hmm?

It is, but I haven't collected it yet, so I'm waiting until then.

And I'll thank you for not mentioning it again in a thread titled
"FS:White elephant"...

 

Indeed. "Yellow Elephant" would be more apposite.

 

You'd get good odds too. Hasn't he been "let go"?

I think flashgorman has been reading a bit too much Michael Moorcock.
