    You have to see (or ride) it to believe it. The left at the top of the Corkscrew drops off all the way down thru Rainey and to the start of the front straight. It's long and it's steep. almost like a ski jump hill

    Kenney Roberts would wheelie his F1 bike (694cc GP bike) off the left hander at the top and land turning right, back in the day

    That was a spectacle

    Dan's photo is turns 2/3, not the Corkscrew
    1978 GS 1000 (since new)
    1979 GS 1000 (The Fridge, superbike replica project)
    1978 GS 1000 (parts)
    1981 GS 850 (anyone want a project?)
    1981 GPZ 550 (backroad screamer)
    1970 450 Mk IIID (THUMP!)

      Suzuki was scheduled to come back in 2014, they tested last month with a competitive bike (would have qualified 6th) but are now waiting to 2015 due to some upcoming rule changes from Dorna (like a spec ECU)

      Cal was looking for the Suzuki ride, hard to believe he's bitching about the Tech 3 ride

      Stoner - he won't come back, he's tired of all the politics and money issues. No decent seats available anyway
      Aaaah yes that's right! I had forgotten the 2014 return...

      Cal needs a better bike... if he could get those first few laps sorted a bit better then he'd be up the front a hell of a lot more often I reckon... of course I'm just sitting in front of a TV screen though
