<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>well it shows it as 4 minutes apart for me! which must be about what it was
but keep bitchin over nothing I'm sure its expanding your life
ok Barry, here it is in its simplest form..
at 9:49pm you posted this and
this only...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Well there you go ..... thats all the "fact" a "layman" would need.
couldn't you take in a bit more information before you declare "thats all you need"?
that is all i could see as you had not edited it yet so i replied at 9:53pm with..
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>WTF?
all this^ ocurred on March
10th BTW.
i then opened up my browser at 7 on
March 11th am and saw that you had added this to your original post ..
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>It seems stupid to start going over all this again, but here's a few problems/discrepencies with the theory:
1. Its so easy to change things like rider position on a bike ( hell ducati's come with it on their road machines ) why would Haydens crew not adjust these for him?
2, Its so easy to lengthen frame ...... why would Haydens crew not get these things done for him?
3. Its so easy to change a swingarm ........ why would Haydens crew not get this done for him?
It is a motogp team ..... Repsol in fact ..... you are suggesting that Honda deliberately stopped Haydens crew putting ( or even adjusting the parts ) on his bike when needed.
One minute you are telling us that Hayden was the "test mule" and "developed the bike" ..... then you are saying the guy had no input and was riding a bike made for Pedrosa ....... thats a pretty stupid proposition right there!
Though I can think of one case where Hayden did get a new part before Pedrosa ...... and even against Honda's engineers recommendations ...... ( the pneumo engine episode )
SO who did develop the Honda? Was Pedrosa the development rider? or Hayden? I'd hate to be a Hypocrite!
I think in fact Hayden is just a victiom of the old equation
Power =( Force X Distance ) / time
(where time is what you want Hayden to be lesser than .... )
Where P remains constant ( what the bike provides )
Distance is the race length say ( or even just the start straight say but its the same for .... and Hayd. )
therefore we are left with Force:
from the above Force( P ) must = Force ( H )
and Force = mass X Acceleration
SO we also know that Hayden is say 70kg and .... 50kg. ........ thats a ....'n huge difference! ........ so Pedrosa will always have more acceleration.
We could go further Acceleration = change in speed/ time ........ but meh! if you can't see the "real" problem by now .......
maybe this will help:
How fast do you reckon he is?.
when you did that is irrelevant as i obviously was not on line and able to view it,
I only saw it the next morning, which is why i then posted at 7:20am
March 11th my response...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>thats one sneaky edit barry....... and fairly dishonest too.
the end.
that by my reckoning is approx
10 hours....
as for this enriching my life, it has thankyou. i now have more experience in dealing with irrational geriatrics and thats a skill that might come in handy one day...
