Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Its easy for him. Casey Stoner has developed that bike for him over the winter all he has to do is twist the throttle and hang on

I wonder how much discussion, if any, there is between Stoner and Marquez?

The production Hondas are still well off the pace.

Very good to see both Ducati's up the sharp end of the action and still the GP14.3 let's hope the GP15 moves things on again, I do like my Ducati's

I like Jorge good to see him at the top of his game again, a very classy and beautiful riding style which is an awesome spectacle to watch.

So are the factory RCV' s of Crutchlow and Redding, let's hope there testing parts rather than chasing head line making lap times.
