1:48
everything is good over here. Just working then else to do
1:53

1:56
Warm areas where I can ride 24/7.
1:58
But right, right? Just watching videos and you
2:03
know getting ready I got you got you.
2:05
Yeah man I know how that is in the Northeast, there's not much
2:09
to do which is the I think that's the hardest part.
2:12
I don't even think the guys and gals that, you know, right on
2:16
Ice. All right now nice because it's
2:17
not cold enough in some places, it's a place for multiple
2:20
activities. You got to be into all the
2:25
activities, snowboarding bike, and ride all that.
2:27
Yeah, you do to stay. Stay active in up here.
2:32
You definitely got to have winter sports or you.
2:35
Put your pain memberships. To go ahead tennis balls or go
2:38
play basketball or well. Basketball you play all year
2:40
round. It's like sports season right
2:42
now Bruins and Celtics. So you are right now you got you
2:46
got you so you've been whooping. I've been there a couple games
2:51
haven't been whooping, I kind of gave that up.
2:55
I mean that's what I grew up on playing basketball but I'm
2:58
afraid to tear in the Kaylee's. Yeah, rather ride back on the
3:02
track. No doubt.
3:04
Yeah, as does my case my stop playing basketball.
3:09
I used to play Pickleball like pretty much every Saturday
3:13
goodness for a long time and then probably, I guess, 2016 17.
3:19
I stopped playing basketball because I was like, yeah, I
3:20
don't want jack myself up so I I can't go race.
3:24
Funny thing is, I know I still got it.
3:26
Oh, for sure, for sure. I mean, you know, it's once you
3:29
have it, you have it. Give me that.
3:31
What I'm into it too much. That one Move I Make.
3:37
I can't risk it. Don't blow a gasket out there on
3:41
the court. Can't let that happen at all at
3:44
all, man. So yeah, man.
3:47
I speaking of, you know, repairs and and not blowing gaskets I
3:52
have a race suit that I blew the airbag on you know which is
3:57
never good but it did the job but I Easy, the a suit.
4:01
And you know, I when I buy things I don't look at all the
4:08
instructions and, you know, sometimes you kind of have to
4:11
do, especially with tech stuff, but in general.
4:14
So, you know, I didn't realize that you have to register your
4:18
suit when you purchase it. So that way you can, if when you
4:23
blow the air bag, you can, you know, ship it out and they can
4:26
repack it and fix whatever else. I mean, it all depends on On the
4:30
quality of how much damage is done to the suit.
4:33
But you know, if the suit if they deem this suit right
4:36
usable, you know, there are you pack the airbag and so for a
4:39
long time, I've been trying to get this almost over a year now,
4:42
get this suit fix because, you know, it's a nice suit, it's
4:47
not. You know, the deities, which is
4:49
I guess what my favorite Brands. And what I and I ride mostly on
4:55
track nicely right? Wood Street.
4:57
Yeah. But now on track and You know,
5:01
so but their policy, you know, I like Alpine Star and some other
5:05
brands, but I'll talk about Alpine Star.
5:07
They get two cylinders with O2 canisters.
5:10
I should say with the, with their suits.
5:12
So if you blow it once you can still ride again and then, you
5:15
know, you can, you get two opportunities to crash and want
5:19
to in one of their vests. But, you know, with the DEA are,
5:22
it's only one. So you got, you have to send it
5:23
out. So, for a long time, I couldn't
5:27
Get it done. I was trying to reach out to
5:28
different people of the, the company I bought the suit from
5:32
I'll try and see if they had a receipt, you know, they purchase
5:35
system. So no receipt was available and
5:38
so I was just kind of like I have the suit that I can't use,
5:42
finally reached out to die knees and their customer support and
5:46
and total my situation and it worked out.
5:49
So now I can get my suit fixed and you know, I gotta pay a fee
5:52
but I think they would have would have happened anyway, but
5:55
it was, you know, and I was thinking like I was Kind of
5:56
crazy for them to do that in the beginning to you know if you
6:00
blow a suit and it's not registered you can't you can't
6:02
get a repair. So it seems like they changed
6:04
that policy from over a year ago.
6:09
So, you know, that's that's my little racing suits and getting
6:13
stuff repair and, you know, reading the manual and find out
6:18
their warranty process and and return policies and all that fun
6:21
stuff because you don't want to get stuck with you know, fifteen
6:26
hundred dollar or two thousand dollar paperweight definitely
6:28
don't. I never had to go through that
6:31
yet to have received repaired. I know only had mine for to get
6:35
two years. Three years now when I first Got
6:39
it, they were like, oh, you going to break in your suit and
6:41
I'm like, yeah. What do you mean?
6:42
I've been on the track six sessions already.
6:45
There's like no, no, that's not what I mean.
6:48
It was like yeah you have to break it in by like hit the
6:51
pavement and then you know that happened and once I did crash I
6:54
was like oh man I forgot to find spin another thousand dollars to
6:58
get a suit, you know, I didn't know how bad it was, but you
7:01
know what held up? But yeah, definitely that is a
7:05
good thing to know that you can get you here your suit repaired
7:08
it. If you need to and then there
7:11
was a Josh Heron racer, had this idea where this leather cleaner
7:16
that you can use to keep your soup nice and you know soft you
7:22
know after you use it so doesn't like crushed up or whatever it
7:25
is right now. Sometimes you use do sweat in it
7:27
and, you know, you might ride a raining and stuff like that.
7:29
So it's good to keep it nice and, you know, soft and clean
7:34
your time, definitely clean your, get your suits clean, take
7:38
All the cushion out of your helmets and get those cleaned.
7:43
You know, you can do it every round or you could do at the end
7:46
of the season, you know. It's up to, you know, how
7:49
comfortable you are with your own.
7:50
You. No sweat.
7:51
You just had a another suit issue, right?
7:53
When you had a broken zipper. Yeah, that's, yeah.
7:57
You know, I got I got suit issues.
7:59
But yeah, my current suit. My main suit that I use.
8:03
Like the last round. No broke the zipper.
8:07
And and so now I have to Go get that fixed as well.
8:10
So I'm shipping one suit out to get repack.
8:13
Another suit that you get the zipper fix.
8:15
You know, so what does that mean?
8:18
You got to have a few suits people.
8:21
You know, that that that's what it comes down to, you know, you
8:23
know, a few sets of rims. If you sous-chef, you can, you
8:27
know, we're placement handlebars.
8:30
You got to have parts, right? Yeah, I'm working on my second
8:33
suit actually, you know, going on to my, that's right.
8:36
You got this custom so well, have to do that.
8:38
His my original series seen some work.
8:42
Hey listen man you did you see right as out there?
8:46
A lot of Suits. Get they get they do the job and
8:49
and and that's that's the main part.
8:51
Yeah. I'm saying it does the job and
8:53
keeps us pretty safe from our own Antics but yeah that's good
8:57
things though. Matt the register that suit you
9:00
know once he's purchased make sure.
9:03
Yeah yeah for sure. I mean if it's dione's I mean
9:05
you know you know if it's a custom suit You know, make sure
9:09
you understand, you know, the policies of the companies that
9:12
you're dealing with because it's important.
9:15
Yeah, my suit is not a doesn't have an airbag in it.
9:20
Like I don't I don't know how to get that service.
9:23
Like you know if they ripped us something I'm sure they have.
9:26
Yeah, I think. Yeah.
9:28
It's not just for, like the airbag.
9:29
Yeah. You gotta Alpine suit and
9:31
indefinitely. No, whatever their policies to
9:35
get them repaired. And and, you know, all that
9:38
because, you know, some you might ship you're sued way.
9:40
And it might take you months before you get back, depends on
9:43
how busy they are. But yeah, that's that's, that's
9:47
that's what's happening. A man with the suit.
9:49
Yeah, it's pricey but ya gotta invest in more than one.
9:53
Yeah, and, you know, I just reiterate about having, you
9:56
know, you know, to helmets, you know, excess extra set of
9:59
gloves, as you know, and all these things cost money for
10:02
sure, you know. Online there.
10:04
A lot of places that you can buy you stuff.
10:06
So you know that does help if you want somebody else are are
10:10
the same size that selling something at that moment you
10:13
know same thing with parts and stuff like that.
10:15
You know, there's there's definitely people out there
10:17
selling their parts apart not their bikes and stuff like that
10:19
so you can get a lot of parts. You know, I'm saying a lot of
10:24
tuning parts and all that. So you know the internet is, it
10:28
is a beautiful thing and you know, it's also crazy thing too.
10:31
But well we won't talk about that.
10:33
So on this show, you know. So you know, let's talk about
10:38
tuning, you know, you know if you want to tune your bike but
10:42
for folks out there that are into tuning or thinking about
10:46
getting to, you know, they put the exhaust on their bike.
10:49
They got the ill filtered air filter on.
10:52
They may want to slipper clutch clutch too, but a quick shifter
10:59
now have with your street bikes. Have you tune your street bikes?
11:03
Have you done - Odds are you into, are you the type of person
11:06
that you know, by the bike and just ride the bike?
11:08
Or do you like Arts lat? So pulling pieces off.
11:11
Well my first bike with Suzuki GSXR 600 is the 05 so it came
11:17
with the full yoshimori exhaust system.
11:19
So I was really okay with that because at the full performance,
11:24
hmm. You know you go through your
11:26
faces when you start writing some guys at the sticker bomb
11:29
guys ready to do know performers and just you know put stickers
11:33
make It look cool, right? But yeah, I did a couple
11:36
upgrades like, you know, levers and I had the exhaust and, you
11:41
know, like rear sets but I didn't really do much because I
11:43
didn't really know much, but yeah, it's the best thing
11:48
probably do is like to set up your suspension for your weight.
11:52
Did you do any tuning or changes for in 2003 writing?
11:56
I my first bike. I.
11:59
Well technically my second bike put first bike.
12:02
I put like 10,000 miles. And yeah, I did a full exhaust
12:06
and, and also got the, the package that came for tune in on
12:12
that bike. I did a stupid collection, you
12:14
know, but I'm, you know, I'm I change parts, cars, bikes,
12:18
computers, whatever to whatever it is, I'm always trying to make
12:21
it better and faster. But my first race bike was
12:25
already built, so I didn't have to do anything to that.
12:28
I think that had a Dynojet like a piggyback system on it.
12:33
I was sv650 and you know, that was no no, no no quick shifter
12:38
up or down or anything like that but you know, that was a nice
12:42
bike. Now my second bike are 607.
12:47
Yeah, I did I did a up and down, quick shifter Auto blip.
12:53
I had my ECU flash so I didn't go with like a Dynojet oppas a
12:59
system, you know. And I but that's just getting
13:02
into I think race in later then then then most and you know ECU
13:08
flashing was just starting to to my knowledge was the start and
13:12
you know, not a lot of people are flashing the ecu's at that
13:14
point and not everybody can Flash the you see you on.
13:17
Yeah so I used to you know hook up my cars and make them faster
13:20
better when they came to bikes. I thought it was you know,
13:22
already fast enough and I don't know when the quick shifter
13:26
Drifters came into play but I didn't I just just rode my bike
13:30
as it was. I didn't really put any
13:32
performance in it. Did did changes the shifted to
13:35
GP shifts? So, I really comfortable with
13:38
that before I knew it was like a real real thing, like and that's
13:42
what they did in MotoGP and stuff like that.
13:44
So, yeah, well, I Club recently, they do GP shift, it's, it's
13:48
nice, it's, it's, it's easier to shift when you leaned over
13:52
upshift, when you lean over, when it's GP Shift versus versus
13:58
regular. And if you're raised with this
14:01
standard shift in, No, and then my first race bike was already,
14:07
you know, basically tracked out so.
14:09
Yeah, yes. Did have to really do much
14:12
performance to it. Right?
14:14
And and that's the thing. I mean, you know, if you're
14:16
going to when you tune in your bike, you just have to figure
14:19
out what the options are out there.
14:22
And, you know, if you're going to build a race bike, maybe
14:24
figure out what the options are before you purchase the bike
14:27
even. So that way, you know, you know
14:29
what, you know, there's no surprises because even, you
14:32
know, my last bite, Like, you know, it is if there's no
14:36
technology out there to upgrade your ECU, you know, just not
14:40
much you can do from there. I mean you obviously you can
14:43
look at one of these other tuners and if they have you
14:48
know, a package for you then that will help you most race
14:52
bikes. They do like the R6, you know,
14:55
the Yamahas, you know there's other ones out there but I'm
14:59
mostly Yamaha R6 so I can't speak on.
15:03
This is Luke, he's and in the Kawasaki is but there's a lot of
15:06
tuning companies out there and I know bikes dudes are getting
15:09
their bikes dynoed and making them faster and you know there's
15:13
it's not just like overall horsepower.
15:15
It's kind of when you get the gains, you know, your throttle
15:20
response, you know, if the shifting you know, so do you
15:24
know that type of thing? You know, when you get full
15:25
power, if it's are six and you get your ECU, see you flash, you
15:29
know, those are the things that that you know that that you To
15:33
get and, you know, choppiness through corners, you know, big
15:37
over and stuff like that. Yeah, you know, so it, you know,
15:40
but again do the research, if you are going to tune your bike,
15:45
you know, they a lot of, you know, good companies out there
15:48
that do tune bikes, if you don't want to do it yourself, you
15:52
know, I tend I do some things myself but I tend to, you know,
15:55
pay the professionals. Because you know, when you when
15:59
you're trying to do a lot of things, you can only learn so
16:01
much in my case. So, I leave certain things to
16:05
the professionals and and you know what I can do I do?
16:08
Yeah I wanted to before I got into track I was going to do
16:12
that to my street bike. I was gonna get a quick shifter
16:15
on it and tune the ECU off last year but didn't get down to
16:21
doing that. So I couldn't really find many
16:25
places. I'm sure I could ship it off
16:27
somewhere but you know, Suzuki in the year that it is.
16:30
It's a little different. I'm glad You brought that out
16:33
because I brought that up because I did say you can find
16:36
Tunas out there. I go all the way to Jersey to
16:39
get my bikes tuned and you know, I've got a, you know, if I if
16:42
it's a Ducati, I can go to New Hampshire and get it tuned.
16:47
I, you know, you know, by got, we got a friend that has an
16:50
Indian in these taken, is in the end all the way down from from
16:53
Mass to North Carolina to get it tuned.
16:57
I think, when you, when you, when you're playing with bikes
16:59
and I think would cars as well, you know, if you know Mike ATM.
17:04
I'm working with people all the way across the West Coast.
17:08
You know what I mean. And and so I think that you
17:11
know, that is the downside, you know, really good people and not
17:14
in every state. Well, I shouldn't say like that,
17:16
you know. It you know good people on
17:20
uncertain products are far away. Some people are, you know, in
17:24
the UK or in, you know where ever you know, when you when you
17:28
find a tuner, that's doing something you like a person
17:31
that's doing something. Like you know, it could get
17:35
crazy. So yeah you know I ship engines
17:38
all the way across the West Coast or eight engine all the
17:40
way across the west coast and you know, that's that's it.
17:44
It it, you know, but you know, if there's no one on this side
17:47
that's doing it. Oh that I've liked that, I know
17:50
because, you know, you don't, you know, you can go and search
17:52
on internet and, you know, you go through the list and you can
17:56
go through 510 pages. And it's kind of like, okay, you
17:58
know, if you don't see a lot of people you I don't I don't keep
18:00
going. So you know, it is that You
18:02
know, so like I said, I have, you know, my bikes, get my R6,
18:08
they got dino down in Jersey, you know, it is what it is.
18:12
Mike ATM is getting billed in New Hampshire right now, you
18:16
know? I mean, so and and then it's
18:17
going to go to, you know, Schenectady to get by to get to
18:21
get the the delivery done on it. So I think that, you know,
18:26
Finding tuners and that, you know, the good ones, you know.
18:30
Yeah. You're going to do some
18:31
traveling. Yeah, I know, like Brent earning
18:34
is a place that, you know, flashes ECU that's nearby, but
18:38
they work on newer models. No more like, like BMWs or
18:42
cautis, and that's be like, a newer year and stuff like that.
18:46
So, right. Yeah.
18:47
So, Ben go ahead. That was insane.
18:50
So, yeah. You definitely gotta travel and
18:53
that's the hardest part, you know, trying to places in how
18:57
you going to get that part, you know, to that destination in
19:00
back. Yeah.
19:02
I mean I think that is one of the heart that is one of the
19:04
hardest part to do and you got to plan around that, you know,
19:10
it's kind of, you know, your weekends, you know, again I had
19:13
a buddy, he just went to go drop two engines off and you know,
19:16
that's your, that's your weekend.
19:18
If the person is not close by What's the fart was the
19:23
farthest? You've gone to get your.
19:26
Get your vehicle or bikes tuned. I mean, that too far.
19:35
I mean, I've gone Jane G probably like, you know, half
19:41
hour away but you know, my first bike I picked up in New
19:44
Hampshire. So, so did I did have to travel
19:46
to go get my first bike, got you.
19:49
But yeah, not as far as tuning tuning anything.
19:51
You know, got you now. Yeah.
19:55
You know you're a fan of that will change.
19:57
It will change. Now that I have a race bike.
20:00
Yeah. Traveling boy.
20:03
Making sure. It's right to get to these
20:04
places that can service them. Yeah, for sure.
20:07
Now I are you a fan of quick shifters and auto blip is where
20:12
you've been right, you're right now, your street bike and didn't
20:14
have that. Although you had GPS a chef, you
20:18
know, I felt like I was always fast with with, without the
20:21
quick shifter, but at the creek Chef is a game changer.
20:25
But, you know, I like the auto blipping, you know, down and up
20:31
like rev matching. My bike that was pretty fun and
20:34
you know especially when you when you have time to accelerate
20:38
when you can actually do it. But my street bike doesn't have
20:42
a quick shifter. My track bike does the on the
20:45
track? I think it's definitely
20:47
necessary know some professional ho really good Riders who had to
20:53
have really fast times that don't have quick shifters and I
20:58
have a friend that doesn't have a, you know, some people have
21:00
quick shifters that's just And they have the shift down, right?
21:05
So the bike. I have hands up and down.
21:07
Now you feel about them? I think they are great.
21:12
Yeah, I same thing, you know, street bikes didn't have them
21:17
then, you know, my the my race bikes, I put it on and, you
21:21
know, took a nice, I took a little bit getting used to but
21:24
it did and but yeah, I'm a big fan of it as one less thing to
21:28
think about, you know, when you're riding I will say say,
21:32
you know, when you write a book because my, oh, my 15 KTM is on
21:37
the up, no down. So I have to use the clutch.
21:40
So, you know, I still, you know, one bike, I'm jumping on, you
21:43
know, up and down. I would worry about next bike is
21:45
like, oh, so that touchdown back, stop touchdown, you know,
21:50
it works, you know, I'm saying, when it don't work, it is what
21:52
it is. I find myself sometimes still,
21:55
you know, squeeze in the clutch depending on the situation.
21:57
Yeah, I'm glad you said that because I use the quick shifter
22:01
on the track. You know, you come used to it.
22:03
And you rely on it. Yeah, and there's times where
22:06
I've gone, you know, at a faster pace and try to, you know, shift
22:12
and it will miss shift, or something like that and or try
22:17
to like be lazy with in, not hit the shift, the hard enough, you
22:20
know, think of this going to go in like butter, right.
22:23
So got to get used to the clutch is well, you know, I'm just
22:28
still just so used to the quick shifter.
22:32
Got to get used to the the mistakes that the Christians
22:34
can't make it. And it does make a lot of
22:37
mistakes at, you know, depending on where you are, and they have
22:42
adjustments, right? Because one of the biggest
22:43
things I've had, you know, if, if I Red Line You know, then I
22:51
have to use the clutch if I shift before the red line.
22:55
I don't have to, I don't have to use, I don't have to use the
22:57
clutch and, and like, you know, but there's adjustments for that
23:00
and I, you know, I was able to get it adjusted and, you know,
23:03
I'm happy with it but sometimes, you know, it's not seamless all
23:08
the time. Yeah, well yeah, like to correct
23:11
shift is not seeing this all the time.
23:13
I had a few instances this year. Actually coming down the street.
23:18
Yeah. And Still trying to figure out
23:20
what I did. I think I either Shift the too
23:23
fast or didn't do it right. But the real world kind of
23:26
locked up a little bit. Got you jump back into place
23:29
where I stayed up. So it is kind of scary, but I'm
23:33
glad so you, he did, you have like a false neutral, what they
23:37
call false neutral? And then you just, you know, you
23:42
for me when that happened the first time, I went down a gear
23:46
and that's where you get all the compression, right?
23:48
So you you have to go up again and then go back down again.
23:52
And so this is what I do. You know, if it happens to me, I
23:56
now go up a gear so I don't get that chatter, right?
23:59
Yeah, I'm going to lose a little bit of drive but I can always go
24:02
back down again, you know? Oh, I might be in the right
24:05
gear. That's the thing is like you got
24:08
to get a check the service because I shift it down two
24:11
gears and it like, jump back up to a gear.
24:14
And I'm just like wait, what's going on?
24:15
And then like I said, I had the false neutral, I got a video of
24:18
it and I don't know if you can play it in this book, probably
24:20
this point, but yeah. Yeah, it's got to get used to
24:25
the way you shift and and the RPMs is very important, right?
24:29
The for sure. And getting your clutch replace
24:33
is there important. You know, you know, the prorate
24:36
right? As a probably getting the clutch
24:38
John every weekend they race, you know, everyone is going to
24:43
be a little bit different. Depending how you are, but the
24:45
rule of thumb is ended the season.
24:47
You're changing your clutch serious.
24:51
I want to be doing this but All about safety, right?
24:54
Do you know if yeah, if you're a writer that's not riding all the
24:58
time, then maybe not so much if you're right.
25:01
It, you know, that's, you know, you don't beat on your bike and
25:04
maybe not so much. But if you're at the top and
25:07
you're going to be beating on that bike, you can be ringing
25:10
this neck. So, you know, that is what it is
25:16
for quick, shifters and and tune in your motorcycle.
25:22
It, which is, which It is but you know it's nice when your
25:24
bike runs the way it's supposed to or better than it could
25:29
because it sucks. It's not everyone's going to
25:31
have a different Feel and want different thing if you used to
25:36
riding a bike with engine braking, you know, my aunt more
25:39
engine braking. And some there's other people
25:41
that, you know, there's no engine braking, that's one day I
25:44
haven't really changed or test it out like switching, my engine
25:49
braking, because I haven't really, you know, gotten enough
25:53
data for myself to see if it's needed use.
25:57
I'm running at a good pace, so I don't know if I need less engine
26:02
braking or more. I just don't know how to test it
26:05
or even how to do it. But that's that's one thing that
26:07
I'm probably interested in and possibly going.
26:10
Other tracks to figure out. Even this one in the next year
26:13
coming years? Yeah, well if ya on your
26:16
particular bike, if you, you're gonna have to get it to get it
26:19
modified easy. You modify to take out engine
26:23
braking, I'll add engine braking.
26:25
So, you know, it's going to be a trip somewhere to get that ECU
26:29
done but you know, it If you have it like a 2022 by you just
26:36
like flip the switch hit button here like right?
26:38
Yeah, but I think, you know, either way you can that's
26:41
something you could do, you can have two options, you know,
26:43
would it would have toggle switch to have to have a couple
26:47
of options for your ECU, you know what I mean?
26:50
So you can do that, you know, if you want to on a new bike or or
26:55
any kind of any bike, really not any bike.
26:56
I shouldn't say that because you can't the older bikes.
26:59
Obviously, you can't do it on your friend, Mike Lee, he got a
27:03
not sure where he is, but Mike is behind a new one.
27:04
He I think he has a toggle switch because I think he showed
27:07
me he had we could do traction control or something like that.
27:10
And engine braking, I forgot what it was but he had a switch
27:13
or something. That is that wasn't on the bike,
27:16
right? Yeah.
27:17
Yeah, it is, it's you can get, you know, as a lot that you can
27:22
do the bike. So it all, you know, if the new
27:23
writers out there, you know, do you need to do it in the
27:27
beginning? Probably not, but once you start
27:29
to push at the front, you know it, once you become an expert
27:32
and you want to get more out. Be a bike, that's what you're
27:35
going to be playing with. You're going to be, you're going
27:37
to be playing with everything to get you know, get them.
27:39
So tenths of seconds out of out of the bike Chase intense.
27:42
Yeah and it's all going to be up to your feel so changing
27:45
settings is the only waiting to know you know what's working and
27:49
what's not working, you know, which is, you know, so you know,
27:54
to go back to that. Yeah.
27:55
You kind of have to play with your bike a little bit to just,
27:57
you know, you know, get play with the suspend what you do
27:59
once you get your suspension done, You know, just play with
28:03
the settings a little bit and, you know, learn about them and,
28:06
you know, compression and rebound and, and, you know,
28:09
figure out what's going to try to figure out what's going on,
28:11
when you go into a turn, you know, talk to some suspension
28:14
people and get a good understanding of it and just
28:17
kind of play around a little bit, you know, you know, and,
28:21
and so you get a better. Understanding your bike?
28:23
Yeah, what I do have to also invest in is the lap timer, you
28:28
know, a lot of people have their so lap timers, where they keep
28:31
Of their lap times like on their Dash.
28:34
Yep. Yeah, I know you got, well, I'm
28:36
still trying to invest in one that that also helps you with,
28:39
you know, a lot of data to, you know, see what you're doing out
28:43
there, right around the track and especially for practice.
28:46
Yeah, you can you can you can in real time see what you just did
28:50
or in a race you know it you know you look down and you like
28:53
okay and you know and then and then you know you can push and
28:58
you know it's so it's good it's good to have information in real
29:01
time. Have in the lap.
29:02
Timer is definitely a plus, you know, and, and there's a lot of
29:08
data in there. So, you know, you can go, you
29:11
can get lost in all of it. I've seen, it was it all.
29:17
It all depends, so interesting, you know, something that I want
29:21
to finally get to and finally, you know, improve on, but
29:25
getting there. Right, right.
29:27
Right. Yeah.
29:28
It's listen, I'm a student of the game and you No, I'll
29:32
continue to learn so tune in bikes.
29:35
Do the research into the research ahead of time?
29:38
Probably even before you bought the bike, the bike and just kind
29:40
of figure out what you want. Look at your price list and all
29:43
that and see. You know what you can do if
29:45
money is no option, then, you know, you know, you can get
29:48
anything you want, as they say. So my name is Rex 45, this is
29:53
the be forever. Cool podcast.
29:54
My name is t.j. part through isn't coffee yeah, no doubt, no
29:58
doubt. So, Peko back.
30:03
Nia and Alvaro Bautista is going to run the number one plate in
30:10
MotoGP world superbike interesting.
30:13
Yeah, just think, you know, for, for Duke for, I think the number
30:18
one, plate hasn't been around since Casey Stoner.
30:21
I don't think Marc. Marquez, Rossi has never done
30:24
it. What do you say that Casey
30:25
Stoner? When was that?
30:27
I believe it was. I don't know if he ran it with
30:29
the Honda, but he ran it with the car.
30:31
ADI in 2007. So I don't remember.
30:34
I think he did a little Honda to have a question.
30:37
If you were If you finish first over the year, use hell excited.
30:43
Like hell yeah, I put so much work in.
30:44
You know, number one, it's your first time ever in the next
30:49
year, come out. Would you rock the one that one
30:50
plate? I would you put your original
30:51
number? I would probably keep my
30:55
original number and my reasoning behind this marketing.
31:00
You know it, you know, it's easier to keep marketing the
31:03
number, you know, it's like football players that did
31:06
numbers matter. Football play American football
31:11
and, you know, so that because they you can't see their face
31:14
right? You know, it's same thing with
31:15
motorcycles, right? You can't do it under helmets,
31:18
you can't see the rider, but, you know, the right is number.
31:21
So from a marketing perspective, I would keep my number from
31:25
marketing. Don't you think the number one
31:27
is more marketing as well? Because everyone sees number
31:29
one. Yeah.
31:30
But they may think it's a different writer, you know what
31:32
I mean? They may not necessarily say,
31:34
oh, that's that means he's a champion that of this year,
31:37
right? They might want to say, who is
31:38
this? Right.
31:39
And then you only if you don't win the next year then somebody
31:42
else is going to run a number one, last great.
31:43
Yeah. You know what I mean?
31:45
So I for so for me and I don't know how do you know Rosie
31:49
hasn't called me lately. So I don't know if it's like a
31:52
Superstition anything, but like you said, I don't know if that's
31:55
crazy but 2007 since someone has one and actually ran the number
32:00
one plate, that goes planning on doing that and 2383, right?
32:04
And I don't know how much Ducati you know kind of say hey this To
32:08
be pretty cool for both y'all to run number one, because we just
32:11
kicking the other manufacturers. Right up the, you know what,
32:14
maybe it's a Ducati because they haven't won it.
32:18
That's what I'm saying. I if it may be like, you know,
32:20
to kind of just solidify and, and they've been up there for
32:24
the last for a long time. I mean, you know, they've been
32:27
they've been chipping away from the Vizio so days.
32:31
And even, you know when, when Davis was was was was running on
32:37
the Ducati, Before for Superbike world superbike.
32:41
So you know they've been pretty close to try to knock off
32:44
Jonathan Ray back then and you know and and the same thing to
32:48
try and knock off Marquez and trying to knock off the Yamaha
32:52
but you know this is the year that they both done it.
32:54
So you know we'll see what happens, you know.
32:57
Like like like I said I mean you know some writers do it, the you
33:00
know, other Rises, don't you got to win to have the option so
33:05
that puts fire you know, they're writers write what they like.
33:09
You put that none will play out. Alright.
33:10
Yeah it could be it could be sort of an intimate back from
33:13
you. Yeah.
33:14
It kind of could be like trying to intimidate the right other
33:16
Riders though you know because they know what it is and it's a
33:18
reminder you know I'm saying surrounded at like okay you know
33:22
so you know and you know in sports like like motorcycle
33:27
racing and tennis and golf you know there's a lot of it that's
33:30
a psychological you know I'm saying and it's like a logical
33:33
Warfare when you try and get another arrived his head.
33:35
So you know I was listening to an interview with Got Greenwood
33:39
and you know you had a good start in a race.
33:42
And you know, they they ask them, you know, you know you
33:46
know the lead why did he slow down?
33:48
Because I think in that moment he was he was just trying to run
33:51
sometimes with his son to try to toes son along and and you know
33:55
but he was like you know, when I started it's like I push and I
33:59
want to break the will of the other Riders.
34:01
It's like he's you know, the first few laps if he can break
34:04
your will and and peeing. And have you give up the chase?
34:08
Yeah. You know, I'm saying is easier
34:09
for him. He can settle down.
34:11
So you know it is some it's serious out there right now.
34:19
I can imagine like the pastry out of said, you can't look
34:22
behind you, you know, a lot better.
34:24
Now, I understand why, you know, there's pit boards.
34:26
Yeah. But like, I don't even know how
34:29
to even read that. Go by so fast, you gotta pay
34:31
attention so much. But you do want to know how far
34:34
someone is behind you. Just just to have that she can
34:37
manage the race. Yeah.
34:38
Imagine the race, you know, the brain tires out and you know I
34:42
don't know. It's just for me right now.
34:45
I mean I love to be in front but I'm not there yet but I like,
34:49
you know, I get better throughout the race type of ride
34:51
am right now. So I'm good.
34:54
I'm like a Marc Marquez and practice.
34:56
That's right. I just follow behind you just
35:00
see where I could pick you off. But you know, be safe.
35:03
Right, right, right. No doubt.
35:07
Yeah, so you do you have any predictions, you know, with
35:11
MotoGP we got test and coming up.
35:13
So I guess it's too soon to talk about, like, predictions.
35:18
But do you think like, with Bastian Nene and and Peko,
35:22
they're gonna, they're gonna, you know, Ducatis going to try
35:25
to run it back. I think they're gonna be like a
35:28
David Lorenzo like crashing into each other you think.
35:32
So now, I don't know, but I think it's going to be really,
35:35
really, really tight because it Xander.
35:38
The are they were fighting you know it didn't really matter for
35:42
a Bastion any. I don't think well II.
35:46
You know you had close calls. You have to understand that
35:48
teammates but everybody wants to win.
35:50
Yeah, exactly. So you know, I didn't like I
35:53
didn't really care so much because you have, that's what it
35:56
is. You know what I mean?
35:57
I think if it was a close race I, you know, who was it?
36:03
Number five zharko, right? Zharko could have.
36:07
Because took, I think second place in One race and he gave it
36:12
up to Tobacco, right? And I think, you know, Martine
36:17
did that for zarco when zarco was up in the point when he
36:20
could, I think it's guitar when he could have won and and but,
36:26
you know, it's like, you know, he's my teammate type of thing.
36:28
So I think in situations, I think, you know, writers get
36:32
that some writers, not them, you know, I think some writers, get
36:35
that, but at the end of the day, Unless the manufacturer gives
36:39
like it gives the team order, right?
36:41
It's fair game. Yeah.
36:43
Do me like this this past year was a good start to the year was
36:47
like a good height because there's a lot of riders that had
36:51
similar times or very high expectations and you know like
36:54
the top 15 Riders were separated within prior second or less,
36:58
right? So this year I crazy going to be
37:01
it's hard to predict, you know, Peko was number one thing's
37:06
gonna be really good. Ryder.
37:08
I like Fabio. And I also like Jack Miller,
37:12
right? You know he's not a KTM now.
37:15
And KTM has like to have to prove this is like a year that
37:20
they have to I think they have it there to prove something good
37:23
this year. Yeah, I know I'm Suzuki's gone
37:25
but now mirror and ranges on. Honda, you know, think Honda is
37:31
going to be a Powerhouse with my mirror and my toes.
37:34
I don't think so, but I don't know, it's just I predict what I
37:38
think is gonna be a good year. Yeah, I will say this is what I
37:42
think. All right, and everybody should
37:44
listen to me. I'm just going.
37:45
Oh boy, I think Ducati with eight bikes.
37:50
That's, that's that's, that's the over Force, right?
37:52
The deadly. Hey, listen, put your money up.
37:54
Honda put your money up, Yamaha much money up earlier, KTM KTM
38:00
can do it. So, I don't know why they don't
38:01
have to mow, but two former bikes.
38:02
I love Suzuki. They freaking pull that.
38:04
I'm saying. So, and and you have to think
38:07
Okay, you got Peko, you got bastard.
38:09
Nene, you got. Oh oh.
38:10
Hey Martine zocco, you know, busy key Martini.
38:17
Morini sorry. I want a guy might want a
38:19
martini. Morini it.
38:23
So, you know, you know even Alex Marquez and did she did you
38:29
Antonio right? Like do to those are going to be
38:32
the two wild horses for Ducati and more.
38:35
I think Alex Mark has got to Gil and I think he's gonna love it
38:39
here. I think he's gonna love to
38:40
Ducati, right? So I think he could he could
38:42
emerge out there somewhere and I so you got six out of eight
38:47
riders that can fight for a world title and they're changing
38:50
the the ride height device, right?
38:52
Yeah. I think that removing some so
38:53
that it may affect all of it and but you know, so I think you
39:03
have those six riders that that could fight for it.
39:07
Fiona zarko. So he said to me he's in there
39:10
because he's a top repeating crash out a lot last year.
39:12
I think he had a good chance. I'm you know the Aprilia is I
39:17
think they're they're going to be there, I think Oliveira can
39:21
ride. So I think he's gonna love the
39:24
perlier, you know, arouse, Fernandez, he's learning, I'm
39:28
you know, but my Maverick and also a leash, you know what I
39:35
mean. So I think it's going to be
39:37
Marine. I said, look Marines I yeah,
39:40
yeah. He's one of the six Tecate ride.
39:41
As I said Lee's and they were busy key but I think besides he
39:44
got less a, a key. He was on podiums last year.
39:49
Won at least one then and top top five.
39:52
So a bunch ain't got rookie of the year, you know?
39:55
I yeah I think he's, you know, I think I had faith in Horry
40:00
Martine but he didn't prove it but there's a queue is very
40:04
consistent outstanding hate when he cracked like yeah, you know.
40:07
So I think he has a shot and, and so I think and then so I say
40:12
the, I said, Aprilia and Ducati has they have their bikes for
40:16
the most part sorted out, right? They got the best bike in MotoGP
40:20
last year per year and Duke and, and Ducati, right?
40:24
And the Yamahas, you saw the struggles, only one Rider could
40:27
ride, the Yamaha only one Rider could ride the Honda right?
40:32
You know what I mean? And they were you know, you saw
40:35
their results Riders are complaining Exactly.
40:38
They like, I don't know what they're going to develop or what
40:41
they're improving, but I don't think they're satisfied right
40:44
now. The no not until the bikes like
40:47
built for Marc Marquez. So, like, the next ride is not
40:50
Marc Marquez. You can't ride the same style
40:53
and same with. Yeah, mon yeah, they could take
40:55
it, take it, they need more power.
40:57
They need more power. Now you mentioned Jack Miller,
41:01
I'm a big fan of Jack Miller, huge fan of Jack Miller you know
41:05
I you know you know he He could have had more love from Ducati
41:09
but he got a lot of love from Ducati, so I'm not going to say.
41:11
He didn't get a lot of love but he could have got a lot more
41:14
love and and you know, and I'm going to be a bit.
41:18
I can't KTM, their bike has been up and down.
41:23
It's more consistent, but still up and down and I think if they
41:27
can get bikes, that can qualify well and, and Jack Miller can
41:31
qualify well, I, you know, I they have a shot plus ba grow,
41:39
you know, he has something to prove here, you know, the bike.
41:41
Hopefully the Yamaha dadon didn't give my bad feel for four
41:44
years a couple of years and he comes back bend like I said they
41:51
yeah I could see Katie I'm up there you know KTM could öktem
41:54
could be up there right, let's not got three KTMs. I know is
41:58
Jack. Everyone knows.
41:59
Jack Miller is not shy so you know, something's wrong.
42:02
Yeah. And yeah, I know, I can advise
42:05
first notice I am a fan of KTM. I'm like, you know, I have a
42:08
Yamaha and I guess I do Ducati. So I'm a fan of those those
42:12
those Brands and but, you know, it's it, that's what it's going
42:18
to come down to allow these. You mentioned the times, you
42:21
know, these Riders it is amazing.
42:23
The level these Riders. You know, I hear people complain
42:26
that Moto GP s, not fun to watch going person.
42:30
I'ma tell you it's fun to watch much.
42:33
Less on TV, you know, you know it's it's fun to watch the me
42:39
because as a writer, you know, your potential and seeing what
42:43
they could do and some people like right at Kota, you know, I
42:48
don't know what lap times you do is like a regular Rider code of
42:51
it. They're doing like two minutes.
42:52
Yeah. And you know, it's amazing to
42:54
watch and this is a different kind of riding is different,
42:57
kind of skill set. And you know, the bikes make you
43:01
have to ride them differently. So you Like you can never
43:04
compare them, you know, world superbike to, you know, MotoGP
43:08
bikes, you know what I mean? Because you know, that's what it
43:10
is and you know it's you know, some people like the chicken,
43:15
you know, barbecue some people like it fried some, you know,
43:17
it's just a different flavor but you know when these guys are
43:22
running clothes and and and and and this past and all the fun
43:27
stuff we like to see happening, it's amazing to watch.
43:31
I was fortunate enough to go to mode yellow. and and watch it
43:35
mode yellow and that's one of the I've only been to like I've
43:38
only been 23, MotoGP race has assen more Jello and and Kota
43:44
And Modelo is amazing. The atmosphere is it's amazing.
43:50
It's amazing to see. So you know and then to watch
43:53
these guys on these bikes do amazing things, you know, they
43:57
make it look easy, right? They make it look easy
44:00
effortless. Yeah, they all make mistakes,
44:02
sometimes it could get carried away like Osborne, you know, I
44:09
think we know that when, when you have riders that pull away,
44:14
Riding by themselves, it's kind of like okay, you know, you know
44:19
and if you got guys in the back, mixing it up in six to set 8th
44:22
and 9th place that's fun to watch, but, you know, we're
44:25
paying attention to the one up front.
44:27
Yeah. I'm good.
44:28
I'm saying, we pay attention up front and I will say this, I
44:31
been watching BSB races and see that much like a train.
44:38
Yeah, that sounds like it's all just like they all together
44:41
line, you know. So I think MotoGP is some
44:46
tracks. You're getting that way to bike
44:48
some more together, a like when I run it like a in what am I
44:54
thinking in Australia there off of Phillip Island?
44:58
You know, when when they raise their and, and their clothes and
45:01
all that that's fun to watch like when rins want one and and
45:05
and you saw the battle all those battles is that's the part
45:08
that's funded maybe that's why they're going to bring in the
45:11
Saturday race, the shootout or whatever.
45:13
They're calling it. To just give more entertainment
45:16
and, and more bang for your buck, maybe on a Saturday.
45:20
Got some for you too. Yeah.
45:21
So they also introducing a couple tracks, right?
45:25
Yeah. They don't 21 rounds this year.
45:27
So like that's going to play A Part 2.
45:29
It's a whole new track. They got need to get data.
45:31
They need to get a whole bunch of stuff and it's it is Saturday
45:34
races. Like this year's gonna be
45:36
unpredictable with it. Yeah, I mean it is because it's
45:40
going to its 21 around still like Fabiola. so, your money's
45:45
on Yamaha Okay say that. Yeah no I like you know I like
45:53
Fabio to, I'm not gonna lie, he seems like a pretty cool dude.
45:56
I don't know and you know but he seemed like a pretty cool dude
45:59
and you know his world doesn't he won the world title and the
46:03
he wrote his ass off on the bike that he got and you know mobile
46:09
Deli who's on a big fan of him couldn't do that the Vizio so
46:14
retired from doing that car clutch little crutchlow didn't
46:17
want to ride the the Older bike because he was testing a new one
46:23
and still was a struggle. And so, you know, he was the
46:25
only guy that was able to ride that bike.
46:28
So that takes Talent. When you're the only person that
46:31
can do something. Where other guys immigrant, you,
46:33
other guys are a second slower but can get the same thing out
46:37
of the bike to talk Underdog type guy.
46:40
I'm not saying he's an underdog but a lot of people are smart.
46:49
Yeah, I mean I think is I think it comes to the error.
46:52
Also you are when you get into motorcycle racing with who you
46:55
you're running with, you know I'm saying for sure it wasn't
46:59
him at first I do I do have a lot of love for other Riders
47:03
like John Muir Jack Miller and Fabio but you know, I like worry
47:09
Martin. But yeah, he still still
47:11
learning. Yeah, you know, it's that is a
47:15
good Rider and I wonder how much weight can plays a part because
47:19
like Rosa like the Yamahas and the later years he couldn't ride
47:22
that bike as he could, he wasn't heavy enough to put enough
47:24
weight in a tires to heat the tires up, to run to it.
47:28
He wanted to. So I wonder with him.
47:30
You know how much weight plays the part, you know in you know
47:35
getting getting the best because like one lap he's yeah I know
47:39
some of these Riders are you know makes good hyper I think
47:43
Josie's like what he's like five I think he might even maybe
47:47
might even be enough. Might even be on the five feet
47:52
stuff so fast too. But like that weight, right?
47:55
So, you know, it does. And so we tie a temperature and
47:59
weight plays a part because if it's cold out and you can't put
48:02
enough heat in the tires, you're not going to be able to ride.
48:05
So let me clean that up a little bit.
48:06
I don't, you know, it the temperature plays a part in it,
48:09
and wait plays a part in. So it was very hot out and it
48:12
doesn't matter if it's cold out, you know, tends to matter a
48:16
little bit more. If you can heat up your ties
48:17
with him, keep him eat it. So yeah, man.
48:21
So that's your yeah, so I think Ducati coming out for 2023 is,
48:26
you know, is it? But I agree with you is going to
48:29
be amazing and fun to watch because these guys are all, you
48:35
know, within a second about half from first to last.
48:38
Yeah, I'm excited for the year which, and like they said,
48:41
they're not laying median for the test, which is like a bad
48:44
start. Yeah, well we got a lot of new
48:47
races come in. Saturday and new tracks.
48:51
It's like as a fan. You know, I want to know what's
48:54
going on, right? No doubt from the start of the
48:56
Season. Yeah, test.
48:58
Exactly. I don't want to wait to see it
48:59
on Netflix or Amazon. Yeah, LS it now.
49:05
So, yeah world superbike just had the intestine where they her
49:09
is, Right? Her, as I say that.
49:11
Right. All right.
49:12
As it depends who you are. Sure is high res.
49:15
You know. I think it's her as Any, any,
49:21
any? Any faves girl off is on the BMW
49:26
redden's on the BMW. I like girl, off always been a
49:30
fan of girl off. I mean, I know he's probably not
49:32
going to be first but, you know, I'm a fan of him and he's on the
49:36
BMW see how he does with that. But yeah, you know, top rack,
49:41
he's a, I want to say a favorite of mine but he's someone that's
49:45
like interesting to watch and, you know, from the results from
49:48
the test He's like the fastest right now.
49:50
So yeah no doubt and Petrucci is out there to says me interesting
49:57
and it says like you know he's doing pretty well.
50:00
He's shining obviously a little nervous going out there.
50:03
I'm sure because it's going to be a fight.
50:05
It's like back to MotoGP days for him, you know.
50:09
Well, I wonder going going from there to mode America.
50:13
I know the pace of mode America is good, but I think it's just a
50:17
little more gritty. Where he's at.
50:20
Yeah. But, you know, coming from
50:21
MotoGP. I don't think anything.
50:23
I think I hate to sound like this, but if you, if MotoGP is
50:27
the top anything underneath that you're not going to be as
50:30
nervous for and because he already knows he has the pace
50:33
and he actually, you know, looking at him, he looks to be
50:35
in really good shape. So he looks like he wants to
50:39
fight for something but it's been it's been, you know,
50:42
Amazing Story with him. You know what I mean?
50:44
You know, coming from police officer to getting running
50:48
Superstar. Talk to getting into MotoGP and
50:51
spending, you know, over at them thinking maybe MotoGP for almost
50:56
10 years, you know. I think it came in like 2011 or
51:01
something like that. So, almost 10 years, maybe top
51:03
Runner, you know? And yeah.
51:06
And he worked his way all the way up that you know, they I
51:08
think they called him the journeyman and something like
51:10
that but you know he worked himself all the way up to a
51:13
Ducati factory seat for one year and you know he wanted more
51:16
Jello, he went to a couple other I think he might at least 33
51:23
rounds and you know you got you got other writers who've who've
51:27
come and never one around or even been on the podium even
51:30
been on a Podium. You know.
51:32
I mean like you know a leash like the last year was his first
51:35
win. Yeah he's been in the game for a
51:36
long time, you know. So you know I'm a big fan of his
51:40
of my Petrucci and I can't wait to see what happened.
51:45
I didn't, I didn't. I saw some highlights from the
51:47
from the clips but he's on a Ducati.
51:49
He knows the Ducati from from here and you know, test in on on
51:53
when he was in MotoGP that their that their practice bikes a
51:57
pentagonal. He's so I don't you know I think
52:01
he'll be and he knows the tracks you know what I mean?
52:03
So I think they might be they might be a couple of tracks.
52:07
He hasn't been to on the circuit but most of the tracks he's been
52:11
to so I I imagine he's going to be he's going to finish top five
52:17
Health reason why I like go back to girl off is when he's on the
52:20
BMW. It's just different manufacturer
52:24
and I like MotoGP you know they have certain manufacturers and
52:28
BMWs not one of them right you know they don't even have
52:32
Kawasaki so the watching you know different event, you know,
52:37
like bsp and stuff like that. It's cool to see and then girl
52:40
off is on the BMW so want to see you.
52:43
Can do on it. Yeah, cuz the BMW does well and
52:45
Bs be decoded as well too. So, you know, red and was on the
52:51
podium last year, this nude are going to be running the new em
52:55
packaged. Well, the database is gonna is
52:58
offered and um so now they have they have more room to play so
53:04
we'll see what they can do. I mean, you know, BMW, it's you
53:09
think would be easy to come to to jump into the motorcycle
53:11
racing game and run up time. Top.
53:13
But it has you see it's you know Yamaha has been doing it for a
53:16
long time. Kawasaki has been doing it for a
53:18
long time. Honda has been doing it for a
53:20
long time, you know, how does looking good now.
53:21
So, you know, Scott written is proven that the BMW can get on
53:25
the podium. So I'm a fan of girl off, he was
53:29
he was able to get on the podium for Yamaha and so I'm excited to
53:34
see what he does next year this year.
53:37
Even Remy because I think here, Amy Gardner got a bad got a bad,
53:40
his MotoGP got a bad taste. MotoGP one year and he's one and
53:45
done and you know I even that you know it's that's unfortunate
53:49
situation but I'm looking forward to see what he does on
53:51
the Yamaha and it's cool to see, you know, the rider is.
53:56
I've been following World Superbike now probably since
53:59
like 2015 ish give or take. Yeah, I'm just getting up to
54:02
date and and it's cool to see the level of the Riders, the
54:08
mountain Riders. I think they're, they're always
54:10
good writers in MotoGP in world. A bike.
54:13
But I think the level of riders consistently from first to last.
54:17
Like the feel is is deep. This is what is the the owner
54:24
of, you know, the rule Like You Know Jack Miller did the
54:27
Australian Superbike right? So like what are the rules for
54:31
MotoGP Riders as they can participate in these type of
54:35
events because I don't know how often they do it but that was
54:39
interesting over because the season was over i-it's Contract.
54:43
So they've had to he means to qadian Ducati but Ducati had to
54:48
probably give him a permission to do it and but this is own
54:51
team. He's real who's running down
54:52
down here? So you know which is also they
54:56
probably just said okay. But if I think these guys you
54:59
know they Ducati allowed Petrucci to go ride the Dakar
55:07
when he left my might thinking that, right?
55:12
No, he left. Left his last year.
55:13
MotoGP MotoGP use with KTM but he I think I permission through
55:19
the car because he was if he was riding World Super when he was
55:22
riding the u.s., I think you got permission but like all the
55:25
manufacturers have given him permission to go jump on
55:28
different bikes and race and and not be a problem.
55:32
Where some Riders they may be like now you can't do that.
55:34
Okay. I guess it's super bike is like
55:36
the is like a big thing because they got world superbike.
55:39
British Superbike, Australia, Superbike well.
55:43
They're all, they're all different entities though.
55:44
I mean it world superbike is owned by do know which all
55:47
MotoGP but you know, British Superbike is this on entity.
55:50
Superbike is just is just a built, you know, thousand
55:54
essentially. You know, it's just a Superbike
55:56
version of of that, you know, with the rules that each
55:59
different organizations set, you know, versus Australian
56:03
Superbike. I mean we call it motor America
56:05
here at the highs at the highest level but you know it that
56:10
that's the the superbike part of it.
56:11
But American Superbike. You know, but you all, you know,
56:14
a lot of these Riders are all trying to get to MotoGP world
56:17
superbike right at, you know, or moto2.
56:19
Moto3, you know, that type of thing.
56:22
So, for every all of us, you know, the like, you know, the
56:24
folks here they're going, they're going the way of motor
56:28
America. Shout out to tea cops who just
56:30
got assigned to the factory Suzuki team for motor sport
56:34
mode, Super Sport this year, so he'll be riding a 600 this year.
56:38
The Super Sport, you know, he's from the New Hampshire area.
56:41
He's a, you know, local Back to us Ryder and came through the
56:45
penguin school and stuff like that.
56:47
So, you know, but I suspect his goal would be to get the MotoGP.
56:52
You know, our world superbike world to be a better partner
56:55
with Tony Elise. Yes.
56:58
Yeah man, he's an old vet but I mean to congratulations to T.
57:04
Hubs going to enforce it Sookie, you know, yeah, for sure, being
57:07
partners with Tony and lilius. Now, with that being said, they
57:12
have the chance To put some w'sup because Tony Atlas is not
57:16
going out and fight, you know? That's for sure.
57:18
And take, he's gonna teach them a lot.
57:19
Yeah, and and I think he he ran, he ran the 2001.
57:27
Daytona 200. And he I think he ran Donna, 07
57:30
bike 08 bike. And I think he finished in the
57:33
top 10. So I mean, the kicking ride for
57:36
sure. And so, and be not a factory,
57:39
team at all the best and the best data.
57:42
That's a beautiful thing. But, you know, yeah.
57:44
So you know, all these call these, you know, top Series in
57:48
each in each country. I mean, it's Paving the way to
57:52
try to get on the very big stage.
57:54
But, you know, you know, winning motor America Title is a Each
57:57
deal. Winning BSB is huge, win in the
57:59
Australian is huge. You know what I mean?
58:02
So it is a beautiful thing. You know through this can't wait
58:08
