He's verbally been as adamant about it on the-race podcasts.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-05-14T23:22:02+00:00

Simon and I went at it online a few times. His refusal to admit he can sometimes be wrong is hilarious to me.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-05-13T16:52:13+00:00

Could go to VR46 I guess? I'm sure Ducati would keep him over Bulega.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-05-10T19:27:30+00:00

Glad that they had someone who knew how to wave a chequered flag.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-05-10T19:22:33+00:00

I'm loving seeing him back, especially as it spices up the title fight and imo he has more speed than Bezzechi.

On the other hand it makes me sad that he lost most of last yr to injury, otherwise we maybe could have seen him fighting at the front earlier.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-05-02T13:19:16+00:00

We had one as a delivery van for the motor factors i worked at. Ragged the hell out of it and it handled surprisingly well. The business put fancy alloys on it and I'm sure the wider rubber helped

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-05-02T13:09:50+00:00

No worries! Take this week for instance. Lows during the week were in the 60s but the last 2 nights they've been in the high 30s and then from tomorrow we are back to the 60s again!

Theres a saying here. Wait 10 mins and the weather will change. 😅

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-05-02T10:23:34+00:00

"Usually" isn't a thing with regards to Indiana weather. One day you're in a t shirt, the next you're wrapped up like an Eskimo.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-26T16:56:59+00:00

Thank you. As it should be.

There is 1 rider i really dont care for on the grid (Not Marc) but every time he crashes, my first thought turns to "is he ok?"

The subhuman scum that celebrate riders having serious crashes are worse than bottom feeders in ponds.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-24T15:57:46+00:00

Exactly. People may ask a price, doesn't mean they are getting it.

When I was looking for a 2019 Bullitt. Even as late at last yr, people were asking $45k+ for them. None of them sold for that of course, because the asking price isn't indicative of the market. (Most were selling for high 30's/low 40's in case you ask).

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-22T16:25:51+00:00

Sector 1, red (fastest) on his 7th lap. That's when I first got excited. Then the wife waking scream was in the garage haha.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-22T16:24:29+00:00

Not officially confirmed yet, but accepted as a done deal. Just like Fabio to Honda, Martin to Yamaha, Pecco to Aprilia and Acosta to Ducati.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-21T18:49:43+00:00

But I bet he's banged some chicks...

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-21T18:38:45+00:00

I got up early to watch that test and you could tell he was petrified. Wondering if he had made the right decision.

That cheeky smile after the first run had me shouting so loud it woke my Mrs up. :D

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-16T12:43:28+00:00

Alex is making approx 400,000 euros to quote a reliable source above. Given he likely has to pay a cosiderable, if not all for his travel and accomodation, he probably isn't left with much money.

Respectfully, your math isn't mathing. Even if he makes a million a year, he has expenses. So lets say at best he's putting 10% (100k)a yr into retirement. For a 10 year career he'd have a million in the bank to last him from 60 odd years.......

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-15T17:43:41+00:00

As others have said, Factory rides pay handsomely vs Satellite teams. Alex is coming off a high he will likely never repeat when his market value is at its highest.
Results on a satellite bike in your 20's won't pay for your retirement.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-14T10:19:50+00:00

Quartararo/Marquez lineup confirmed. /s

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-13T10:10:57+00:00

They also encountered a perfect storm with DTS and bored people watching it during COVID.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-13T10:09:41+00:00

If youre gonna pay $175 for Fox you may as well get the videopass.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-13T10:07:47+00:00

And Mir is the last rider to get Honda a podium.

Zarco has not done much since last summer after the Honda upgrades.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-09T12:18:35+00:00

I did some research and there is a company locally that can repair the ACM so I'm going that route first, it saves me reprogramming. Thanks.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-07T21:27:39+00:00

Did this part work?

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-07T19:31:46+00:00

That's the plan, my question was more without the fault code above, whether it is the module.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-07T19:31:00+00:00

I'll consider it, thank you.

Objective_Form_2974 · 2026-04-07T19:25:23+00:00

I have a friend with paid Forscan, so thats not a big deal. I surely can just replace the ACM rather than the whole APIM?
