Bayliss and Pirelli Smoking Fast
The combination of Troy Bayliss and Pirelli in World Superbike is turning out to be an extremely fast combination. At recent tests, Bayliss has broken lap records, not to mention nearly dominating the World Superbike series thus far on his factory Ducati. Granted there's the never ending talk of traction control and who has it, who doesn't, and who has the best system for it - but ...

Monday Morning Grind
We went to Grattan this past Saturday and turned in a bunch of laps. The weather was perfect, as my dad, Bob (Watson) and I worked on going faster throughout the day.Although still off the leaders' pace, I continued to get quicker at Grattan, turning in my fastest lap so far aboard the R6. The laps were pretty relaxed throughout the day as the times consistently ...

Monday Morning (Afternoon) Grind
Well the team concept is in full effect here. Under a big time crunch to have the bike ready for yesterday's visit to Grattan, James did a ton of work to get the R6 back from it's previous state of being completely apart down to the bare frame. My dad was a big ...

Ode to the Pistons
On the potential eve of the Piston's final game of the season (realistically, I think it will be), a friend of mine, Damian pointed me to an ESPN article by Scoop Jackson (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=jackson/060530&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab5pos2 ), talking about the Piston's sudden drop from championship-favorite to virtually playoff pretender. I've been stunned myself how the Pistons have fallen so far down so quickly. As an avid Piston ...

Traction Control Solved
While working today, I just figured out traction control. Simply add this to your motorcycle's ECU and you'll be all set:while ( rearwheel_speed > frontwheel_speed) { set engine_rpm = 8000; set fuelinjector_fuel_amt = 0;}Settings may vary between machines. I wonder if Yoshimura Suzuki is hiring ...

Routine Maintenance
That's what I thought James and my dad would be doing to the bike after the first three rounds of the season were over. As you can see from the picture sent from my dad's cell phone, that isn't the case. :)

Monday (on Tuesday) Morning Grind
Traction control and getting your butt kicked. Read about both here, courtesy of 6-time AMA Superbike Champion Mat Mladin:http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2006/May/060530-66.htmOne quote worthy of mentioning:"When I was six or seven years old I used to race motocross with the eleven and twelve year olds at my local club. Being in the fight was much more fun than putting a trophy on the mantle for winning an easy ...

Quote of the Day
Another quote from Valentino Rossi's book, What If I Had Never Tried It:"Back in 2000 we had in fact committed a huge mistake. We did not believe in our chances at the start of the season. We thought the title was going to be out of reach. It was my first season in 500cc and it was the ...
