Jordan..You could be right,I have never seen the bike without the fairing and obviously with one off you can only see so much. Your theory does sound possible but why would a remote reservoir per se add any benefit? Some form of auxiliary damping I can understand??

Remote (or pigyback, on shocks) reservoirs allow for better cooling for the oil, apparently.

Jordan....It is a very interesting theory you are working on here and one that does make a lot of sense. After all it would be the front shocks and so the oil in same,doing the majority of the work.

It looks like it is some kind of "anti-dive" system for the front. Didn't Kawasaki have something similar on road bikes circa 1990?

I'm looking forward to this years MotoGP, I think it may be October before Vale wins this year! He's more consistent than all his rivals, whilst he may only win a handful of races this year, it will be the podium finished that count. Remember that when he has an off day he finishes 3rd or 4th, the rest have an off day and finish in the gravel. That is why he will win again. Vale's mid games are legendary, almost as good as Mick Doohans. Beat them in their mind and it's easy, Gibernau was a much quicker rider last year for lap after lap, but you always knew Vale was going to beat him to the flag! I don't see anything changing this year.

Now 2007 that will be entirely different...............................

..................and for 2012 I'll predict Bradley Smith pipping Chaz Davies on factory Triumphs!

Mariner....Nice post mate but you have not taken in to account the two major differences for 2006........

Someone that is largely going overlooked is Toni Elias also.In his second year and now on a much more competitive machine he could ruffle a feather or three!

Jezza is a good rider who has been around a while and done what he can on tat.

Nice wad for his old age I would wager.

But wouldn't it have been better to find a younger fresher rider like James Ellison? Who could go on to better things?

A bit like the Kenny Roberts/Kenny Roberts Can I have A job, Dad? pairing.

Doesn't really shine as a future star.

Failing that,they could have put the housewives favourite Maximilian on the Bimota!

Or give Carlos Checa another go...what ever happened to him, eh?

Jezza...well....since the next English Football manager might be an Ulsterman then surely he should apply too. Far better than coming last on a hopeless cause and he gets a go with Ulrika Jonsson too.

Basket...Carlos Checa is wanted by a satellite Yamaha team and are hoping the deal can be done this week. I think after his early season injury last year,he came through well and desrves another shot.

You boys should warm to him as he is based in London.

Jordan...I have been reliably informed that the second tube on the GP6 DUcati is in fact a "piggy back" gas cartridge similar as you mentioned to many rear shockers. Apparently the tube is indeed only about 8" in length.

How can someone of such tender years be soooooo wise?
