No. I honestly have no idea what question you are talking about.

Everything you posted with a question mark I believe I responded to.

BTW, you are adorable when you are mad.

I don't feel bad for him at all. he cried so much about being deserving of a factory ride. Well now you got it, buddy! enjoy!!
 
Haysoos-Chreesto!! God that sounded pretty incredible. By far the best sounding privateer engine I have heard to date. Did you guys notice how long it took to reach max RPM when he grabbed that handful of throttle there? I'm guessing 17,500 RPM at the top? I sure wish these guys well; I would love to see them surprise some people.

Crutchlow on a satellite bike is 1.5 seconds faster than Dovi on a factory bike. How can this be? :laughing

the article says 14,500-15,000. Can you go past 15,000 with conventional springs?
 
A short but significant read on CRT's, not necessarily in defense of, but just the reality of where they are now and likely heading to:
CRT bikes: some perspective

Mat Oxley

At last year’s first Sepang tests the best CRT bike was 3.2 seconds down, eight months later at the Sepang GP the gap was 2.9 seconds and at Sepang last week it had shrunk to 2.5. Now, if you put Pedrosa or Lorenzo on Aleix Espargaro’s Aprilia ART perhaps the gap would shrink another half a second or so. In other words, there’s not a huge difference between the best protos and the best CRTs – let’s say about 1.7 per cent. That’s not a lot when a full-factory RCV costs – at a wild guess – five times more than an ART powered by a streetbike engine.

That is one way to look at things. And it puts CRTs less than a minute behind by the end without getting lapped on most tracks. Well, that is something. No different than some other racing, I suppose.
 
BTW, I am proud to say that I have had big-o-fights with both JO EBRMC and sidewazzz. I want to thank them for leaving me out, for awhile. My old-lame-ass appreciates it.
:ride

During my last track day at Laguna Seca, I turned in my best lap of 1:42 flat on my ten year old R1. That put me around 18 seconds off of Josh Hayes best race lap in the same track earlier that year of 1:24.706, on his Graves R1. Needless to say,I was stoked. :laughing

I know it's far from comparable to CRT vs. prototypes, but my point is, if I were Aleix Espargaro on my CRT/ART bike, and I am only getting closer to Lorenzo or Pedrosa on their works bikes, well...can't be mad. :teeth
