it'd be interesting if they had used their 120+ decibel GP bikes.

too bad i was working... i would have gone there.

hopper's GSX-R1000 Rizla+ replica looks SWEET!

Aww, they're all on street bikes! Sadness!

Nvm, there's a GP bike!

Is it just me or are some of them...sorta inept at low speed riding?

Anyone who rides on the street...ever. It's not just that but we look at these guys as the epitimy of perfect motorcyclists on the track, but if they can't even handle basic stuff...is all they can do go fast?

Don't get me wrong, maybe they're just "saving themselves" but some of 'em needed quite a few back/forwards to turn around.

it's too tight to make a quick U turn on that.

that is where 180º power slides come in handy.

anyway... i don't practice slow speed stuff and im doing fine on the streets.

BTW, i was kidding when i said this...

notice the emoticon.

i mean i know i need low speed skills, i just don't bother to practice it since im doing just fine w/ the slow speed skills i have right now.

but the MotoGP guys probably only think fast, how to be faster, and how to be the fastest.
