Does it have a proper microphone? One that doesn't sound like cheap plastic .... rattling in the breeze? :bangin:

Maybe this will help you people who are stuck on the actual camera:

I work in advertising, I'm a graphic designer. I work on campaigns & try to think of ways to promote a product/brand/service. I was just saying - it was a cool & unique way to promote a new product.

I do not own a GoPro, so I don't even know what the .... you are talking about with the microphone.

Sorry that I ever tried to point out something interesting.

BTW, is Andrea Dovisioso having a 2011 Ben Spies year or what? WOW! What a run of CRAP luck.

Iannone is clearly out shining Dovi right now. He's way more consistent. I wonder if the issue with Dovi is something in his head or if he's not in-tune with the duc?

Has Dani really complained about the Honda? I'm not recalling if he has or not?

Dani doesn't complain. Seriously, the dude never complains or ....... about other riders. He just shows up, breaks his collar bone, finishes in the top 5 and goes home.

My son who lives in Dubai has got a couple of these GoPro cameras, he lent me one to try on by bird. It was a doddle to fit and record with and the video is fantastic, but its not what I'd call a quality camera in the sound department, in fact it was very hissy. I have 4 action cameras normally on my bike and the reason they are there is to record the antics of car/van/lorry/bus drivers. The sound from my 10 year old system is way better than the GoPro of today.

That's why I like him. He just ....... races. I was upset in Austin, because I would of really liked to see him ride. However, I now have a second chance to see him in Indy.

Sometimes when you see these guys on the track, you gain a whole new appreciation for them.

This has me rolling. Good one, Haha.

He was beating last year's lap records on the 2015, and is beating lap records on the 2014 chassis--with modification to handle more like the 2015 chassis. Its a 'decline Crop circle'. (Get it? Krop circle....?)

If you ever stand near Dani you'd get a new appreciation for him. He's absolutely tiny. He generally runs well at Indy. I expect him to be up front.

Please Kropo, tell me more about how unrideable the RCV is. :rolleyes:

I should smack you right in the face with your own keyboard.

Shades of 2007 when all the Boppers were losing their .... because the buck-toothed kid from the outback was kicking the ... of The Custard Crusader; the battle cry being "The Ducati Rides Itself". We all get it; MM is an unlikeable little .... - but with the bike adjusted he acquitted himself admirably without endangering anyone. Or perhaps the tin hat crowd can come up with some new Honda conspiracy about how Honda sold the brains of Korean slaves to creatures from another galaxy in exchange for undetectable alien technology that won the race for MM. :p

Makes you wonder where Yamaha got the speed from then doesn't it? After all their bikes have nearly always been a bit down on power compared to the Honda, or is that a fallacy as well?

Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head. The pressure of being an Italian on THE Italian bike being beaten by your Italian team mate is seemingly undermining his performances lately. I'm sure there's got to be more tangible reasons as well, ie: the bike still needs some work and Dovi has to try and regroup.
 
You snuck in "but with the bike adjusted". Haha nothing like backpedaling forwards, right? Again your circular logic. Krop circle, I'm coining that term. The bike never needed to be "sorted" or "adjusted" (both soft terms but we know what your trying to downplay). The bike was fine but u bought into the ........, those u quoted did not.

Back pedaling my ....... I've consistently said that there were issues with the new chassis that were not working in harmony with the new engine and that Honda was searching for solutions. Every objective person has been positing that eventually with all their resources, Honda would make the bike work well for MM.

And of course you know this because you have first hand knowledge having ridden the bike - so naturally this being the case I bow to you for having more insight into the workings of the bike than MM or the Honda crew, or the journos who hang out in the garage and go drinking with the crews and riders. And I know I can trust your judgement on this because you are just SO objective.:p

Because never has a rider blamed his bike for his own failings. Hey Kesh, I have some beach property in Kansas I'd like to sell u.

Oh ....... please.

Why is it never mentioned that maybe Yamaha built a better bike this year while Honda improve only a little compared to the M1?

Instead MM has to fight with one hand tied behind his back because the Honda engineers didn't have the consideration to build a bike that was 3 seconds a lap better than the M1?

The RCV has managed to equal or better most of 2014's times (and it won the title with those times) yet the M1 also happened to do the same thing.

Today's ride was reminiscent of COTA, remember that race?

No one said anything about the RCV being a pile of .... till a wrong tire choice cost MM the race in Argentina. Then all of a sudden it was arms up in the air, and cries of "What the .... is this ...., a Yamaha keeping up with a Honda? We were lead to believe that wouldn't happen again till 2025!"

Maybe it boils down to a crafty old ....... riding the Yam and a less experienced yet ridiculously talented murder-bent young fella riding for the Evil Empire
