Ok, HRC- pull out the old Rossi settings!

Yes it does because S has really improved the bike... a lot. I love that guy. He was vicious and dirty in 250s. Someone gave him a good lecture when he made the jump to the open class...because his behaviour changed at race 1.

You know, I had Casey pegged as a contender before his rookie year and told everyone "Watch this guy!" They all replied "Why? You got a thing for Aussies?"

These days, I'd happily give up my bragging rights to have been proven wrong.

Aussies. I miss watching Garry McCoy steer with his rear wheel. Get rid of all these electronics and let them ride the damn bike. Ugh...I am a purist. Bring back the real bikes.... 2-strokes.

Toselands head is gone.

I do, too, though I'm glad he's done, for his body's sake. Some day, I want to go to Andorra and buy him dinner.

We seem to share a lot of fave riders: Capirossi, McCoy... I can't remember if you said you're a Haga fan (I am). Cool beans!

This morning, I carefully explained to our dog the importance of finding all the ‘left-overs’.
When I return home from work, I plan to see if he heeded my advice.

Yes. The split in the garage has done him in. He is such a sweet gentle guy...all the drama and headgames are too much for him. Yea Haga is great. I kinda like the anti-hero types though. Doohan was a great era. He was such an arrogant jerk....I loved it. I go way back though... all the way to watching KR senior.....man was he a PR!CK.

Yeah, those multi-season leftovers make for an unpleasant surprise.

Ah, a compositing connoisseur in contradistinction to a *screenshot scientist*.
(I’m exhausting my “c’s” ^)

Okay, are you aware of the specific software(s) that typically exhibits the trait of after having applied the tracking data to the footage, one must invert the data to make things work?

[Penton-Man]

Hey, 4K2K stop editing your post.........I can't keep up!

Thanks for the wheel to wheel action but, please nobody tell me any hints and certainly not the results of yesterday’s Paris-Roubaix because due to the celebratory nature of Sunday, I was unable to watch the Hell of the North and it is still on my DVR (actually all 4 of them in the house, just in case of some unknown glitch, I figure I would have good redundancy in a copy of the HD broadcast in some room of our house).

You guys are starting to remind me of the Star Trek time warp and such that occured on the Digital Bits et. al. thread over the weekend.

But whatever spins your wheels.

b.t.w. doctorossi, if you ever get off your butt and start writing again, make sure you do this….

Penton, you sound as if you've given up the thrill.

The guy in the tight shorts won.

I'm very happy to report that I am well and truly off my butt (and right into the brick wall, but that's another story)!

Thanks for the recommendation. I've seen both sides of the issue a little too closely, so I'm careful about it. I have a yards-long file of copyright/registration URLs. It lives next to my tiny file of literary agents.

I need to hear an audio clip to rev up the juices again, plus Jim has me now worried about rotten eggs in the back if our dog ignores my direction.
