Now the Ducati's are doing 1:32.2's at Phillip Island my Superboke World
Championship times are looking a bit sick. Too bad you can't resurface
the computer track!

I loved the sound of the Aprillia. Be hard for them to add it to the sim
though because part of the bike setup is to move the motor forward and
backward int he frame to change the handling.

I also wish I could loft the front as easlity as Troy did coming out
of Southern Loop and then holding it all the way to the left hand kink
that leads to Honda corner.

The Aprilia did sound good. I was really keen to see what the thing
sounded/performed like as I have one on my shopping list. The one in
the expo looked pretty much the same as the one they had a couple of
years back at the GP, although the dash looks a bit low-tech (well the
tacho does anyway). I can't wait 'til August.

Go for it.  I'm also in the need of an upgrade for later in the year (well,
I NEEEEED it right this minute, but you know)... hopefully a Yami R6  :-)

I have been watching motorcycle racing for 36 years but I was still amazed at
how quickly they were changing up gears. Coming out of MG they were in first
and by the time they started leaning over for the left hand sweeper they were
in 4th. Thats three gear changes in a VERY short amount of time.

Good to see the sidecars back. Some of them sounded awsome.

The Suzuki SBK bikes sounded like they were doing a million mile per hour but
were as slow as a wet week, same as in the game.

Great racing and a brilliant weekend. .005 of a second win.....awsome.
