First I'd seen RD in decent video action with that 'ribi' type leading link front end. Thank god they never became par for the course ;)

Unfortunately I can't open the movie link. Is this the front end you're referring to?

Post by: Rossvickicampbell on January 23, 2009, 02:58:19 pm: well done Doc - good one to start my day.

I always thought Mikkola was awesome but the passing move by lackey in the 2nd moto was something else.

I will go back and dream how fast I used to be now!!!!!

Post by: Doc on January 23, 2009, 04:22:39 pm: 8) yeah, Lackey was riding alternative lines for a lot of the lap proir to the pass and the pass move actually looks like it started about 2 corners before, he was no quicker in the twisty corners but he combined a couple of them instead of riding them as 2 separate items like Mikola. I've watched it a few times now and I'm still in awe :)
