I think they should let them go another race or two.
They didn't run away in Race 1, and Race 2 was pretty comptetitive up until
the last 5 laps.
We'll see what happens.

I'm glad to hear about the Indy/ChampCar reunification -- the best racing
news all weekend.

Same story again. Ducati cup with a 200cc advantage for being a twin. I
wonder how the Triumphs did in the 600SS races with a 75CC handicap.

BTW, were you actually comparing Bush to Mussolini?

Uh, not all *that* loyal, as said commander in chief was summarily executed
by his own people while trying to escape to Switzerland towards the end of
the war, and whose corpse was then hung upside-down in a gas station for the
public's amusement and edification.

(This is generally taken as an indication that a leader has been less than
universally popular. Or successful.)

I think they'll at least wait until after Philip Island, but if they
have six bikes in the top ten there, I think it is inevitable that
they will do something to try to even the playing field. Not only is
that the history of the series, but it is also the right thing to do.

Chill. The organizers will handicap things if the Ducatis continue
to do that well.

Sheesh.

Of course. Hyperbole is Saddle's stock in trade.

Ya know, I have mixed feelings about this.

I think spec racing has it's place, but I just hate seeing so many race
series (cars and bikes) becoming spec races. Especially considering the
debacle known as NASCAR.

I understand the importance of a "level" playing field, but theire is an
appeal to a run what you brung series. Perhaps Super bikes should be
related to retail price, regardless of displacement / weight?

I could go for a cheaper Ducati, but not a more expensive Japanese bike.

Of course not, Mussolini would have never sold out one of his own spies!

Yeah, the Yami fell apart at the end. Let's not forget Suzis took 1st
and 4th in the second race.

I hear Cheney's got about 6% popular support. Halliburton has quite the
substantial workforce!
