You Know how I am an avid Road racing Fan and BSB is no exception . First off , is there a law in the UK motorcycle road racing courses cannot have a strait longer than 400-500FT? and there must be an elevation change of at least 400FT over the length of a lap?
Please do not think I am downing BSB ,Great close racing and talented fields of riders. Isnt it hard for UK riders to adjust to tighter tracks and greater trap speeds in other countries ?Then there is .......Shane Byrne ... 7 time BSB Champion . Hasn't anyone offered him a competitive ride ?
PS... IF YOU HAVENT CHECKED OUT BSB , DO SO, GREAT CLOSE RACING . ALL Manufacturers competing . As a matter of fact an announcer made me aware that the.... NEW?... Fireblade has been racing developing for 3 years now . Say a prayer for Camier , he gonna need it lolol

I guess you didn't see his times during the testing...

Shane Byrne has been there and done that. I think you will find he has the competitive ride just where he wants to be, he's older than VR. I'm surprised he's doing another year

Shakey B is my hero. Seems like a terrific guy, great great rider. Went WSB and MOTOGP racing for a little bit, but never seemed to get a real competitive bike in the big series. I wish he could be on a Ducati or Kawi in WSB but that dream is over. I'm guessing he'll retire in 2 years.
