Harley Davidson will be in the MotoGP paddock in 2018. They have been testing a very competitive bike called the HD17. They are said to have developed some downforce inducing handle bar tassels that will give similar performance benefits to the banned winglets.

It is so nice to see Lorenzo laughing with Stoner. Two fierce competitors on track brought together by getting punked by the Rossifarians and paid by other Italians. This is a weird game.
Here is an actual Harley racer for those who don't know. It was pretty good, but not given enough time to develop. (AMA racing) Ah, what might have been. Things could be different. No Eric Buell label, for one thing.

I watched that turd race many a time. It was competitive, but in typical Harley flair, .... broke all the time and stuff fell off. It became part of the weekend betting on what lap it would retire

Him on the ducati; which is a beast now, cant see him not winning it. He will be just another iannone, BUT staying on the wheels instead of falling. Look, iannone blew away 5 podium chances, 2 of them could have been wins (qaatar and le mans). If he wouldnt have gotten injured at misano, well, who knows what would have happened then.

So long as you have a 130kph tail wind and going down hill, no problem.
The new Harley Davidson Dyna Super Extra Double Easy Glide with its 3700cc V twin can reach speeds of 310kph when dropped out of a C5 Globemaster at 25,000ft.

Watch. Read the lines. Think about your turn. Make your choices. And trust the power beneath you.
It took Monster Energy a really long time to produce this. I think this happened just before they started Asian tour. A little embarrasing actually.

I preferred the short bus, it had the quickest 0-60 mph time.

Valentino Rossi: Maverick Vinales will give me the same problems as Jorge Lorenzo in MotoGP 2017
Rossi already bemoaning his new teammate, and still whining about 2015. After years of him trying to hand pick his teammate, his fans still insist that he loves a challenge.

I don't find the stuff about Vinales too bad, it could be construed as praise for him rather than whinging about him.
Rossi does still whinge/repeat his narrative about the end of 2015 at every opportunity, but going by the comments on the article as now seems to occur frequently this narrative is no longer unchallenged; perhaps our work on here was not in vain.

The Harley Aermacchi 250 was a pretty handy bike. Three WCs on the trot.
Agreed.
But, did you notice maverick's remarks following qualifying session in motegi 2016?
A comment done after the one of Viñales at Motegi after Valentino made the pole following his wheel: “He’s already starting to piss me off.”
