Bench Racing & The Morning Reads

Agreed J-man now I really have a hard** for the BMW scoot.
Now I have to decide Touring or Sport.
 
I really liked the looks of both the new "Step Through" styles ( I don't like to call them scooters any longer)

I will wait to see them in person , but the touring model is sure calling to me :wow

The Mothership

BMW Motorrad: In the year to the end of October 2011, BMW Motorrad delivered 93,942 motorcycles (prev. yr. 88,353) to customers worldwide – an increase of 6.3% and a new all-time high for the first ten months. BMW Motorrad continued its growth course in October, with a total of 7,050 motorcycles sold (prev. yr. 6,845/+3.0%). Thanks to its positive sales performance in a persistently difficult overall market, BMW Motorrad has continued to expand its global market share of the relevant segment above 500cc. Husqvarna Motorcycles delivered 6,775 motorcycles in the first ten months of 2011 (prev. yr. 8,616/-24.4%). October accounted for 695 deliveries (prev. yr. 1,356/-48.7%).

BMW Guggenheim Lab Berlin to open in May 20112
Richard Armstrong, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, and Frank-Peter Arndt, Member of the Board of Management, BMW AG, announced today that the BMW Guggenheim Lab will operate in Berlin from May 24 to July 29, 2012. The four-person Lab Team for Berlin—an international group of experts and innovators—also was announced. Berlin is the second stop in the Lab’s nine-city tour, which premiered in New York earlier this year.


Off to a perfect start: the new BMW 1 Series wins “Golden Steering Wheel” award.
Just a few weeks after its market launch, the new BMW 1 Series has already won its first internationally significant automobile award. The edition of the BMW compact model is the winner of the “Golden Steering Wheel” awarded by "Auto Bild" and "Bild am Sonntag". The second BMW model to compete for the "Golden Steering Wheel", the new BMW 6 Series Convertible, likewise achieved an outstanding result with second place in the category of open-top vehicles.

Joining the 200 Club with BMW
An American salt flat racer has become a member of an elite group after achieving a speed of more than 200mph on Bonneville’s famous salt flat track. The surreal setting where Valerie Thompson achieved her success was the famous Utah salt pan where many other records have been set. At the 8th annual BUB Speed Trails – on her first time out on the S 1000 RR – she reached an amazing 201.01mph ...

Snain: noun wannabe: A slushy mix of snow flakes and rain droplets. The outter layer of a snain flake is soft and slushy while the inner core is icy. This wintry mix makes walking and driving rather fun (sucks when you are riding)
Used in a sentence.
While Mika was riding yesterday it there was snain.

Mika is not suicidal but wonders why he turned left (North) instead of right (South) when he moved this spring.

Formula 1

Welcome to the Sebastian Vettel show. That was how it looked right through the race to turn 1 of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. That is where Vettel suffered a puncture leading to a turn two spin out and damag to his wheel, wishbone and the undercarriage of his car. Leading the parade at the exit of turn three was Lewis Hamilton. Vettel limped back to the pits but his race was done.

Now the rest of the story with the post race reports.

FWIW

To whom, for what?

bbc.co.uk: MotoGP hand Loris Capirossi safety role

With world championships in two divisions and surviving over two decades of racing experience there is much tht Loris Capirossi can teach about racing safely. Safety is a serious issue in all forms of motor racing and in MotoGP in particular. The tragic accident that ended Marco Simoncelli's life was a tragic racing incident. Yet I hope that this was not what has supplied the impetus for Dorna and the FIM to make this move. Simoncelli's accident was clearly a racing incident no matter how tragic the results of the incident. The 2011 season was full of other racing incidents that do raise questions about track safety in so many ways.

In recent days recently crowned MotoGP World Champion Casey Stoner has expressed safety concerns about all the new and inexperienced riders and teams the CRT program hopes to bring and fill the grid. Inexperience and disparity in performance levels are safety red flags to him. Capirossi could have a major impact in translating concerns into sensible rules and enforcement that make the sport as safe as possible while promoting competitive racing.

The tracks themselves need to be questioned. Two wheeled road racers practice their sport on tracks increasingly tailored to the needs and safety concerns of their four wheeled counterparts. Some of the things that make tracks safer for them can make tracks more dangerous for motorcycle racers.

Track workers are another thing to look at. At all levels are they getting the training and supervision to qualify them for their jobs? How are corner worker teams put together? What medical staff is available in the case of emergencies? What links with external medical facilities have track owners and race promoters made with off track emergency medical facilities?

Gear continues as a question mark in my mind. With so many riders at this level of sport with access to the worlds best gear why are some of the injuries happening in the first place? What improvements can be made to gear to better protect racers form injury as the result of a racing incident?

What does MotoGP appointing Capirossi to this position mean to you and me? We aren't MotoGP racers and many of us aren't racers at all. I believe more than many realize.

Are you a club racer? Have you done or are you planning a track day? The standards set for tracks and support crews at this level of the sport impact tracks and racing around the world. The same safety requirements of the sanctioning bodies of major events are the same ones that will be protecting you on outings such as these.

The one place I believe in the trickle down effect is in racing gear and practices making it to the street. The gear, machinery and medical practices developed for race day will make their way to the street and help make daily and long distance riders safer too. Will a road riding incident have you low side into a safer barrier or into one designed for cage safety that creates a road hazard for motorcyclists. Race on Sunday sell on Monday may be the mantra of two and four wheeled race machines. It is also the mantra of companies building safety equipment.

The fact that the position has been created and a rider of Capirossi's skill level has been put in it is encouraging. However, in the past season riders have expressed concerns about safety only to back down for fear that the factory teams would punish them for speaking out. Long before Simocelli's death riders were calling for more safety but would not join in a riders group for fear of retribution.

Time will tell if this is a serious attempt at making an inherently dangerous sport safer or just a cynical public relations move. Will Capirossi and his advice be taken seriously or is this just a noble honorarium to add to a storied racing career CV.

As always this FWIW and a buck will get you a large coffee and change at the Fly-Over-Land coffee stop. The powers that be at MotoGP or the FIM are more than welcome to stop by and chat. We have a couple of racers that come in and a bunch of bench racers ready to talk to them about this topic.

suzuki-racing.com: Team Suzuki Press Office - November 18.


November 18, 2011 17:00 JPN Time ( GMT +9 )

Suzuki Motor Corporation has decided to suspend temporarily its participation in FIM Road Racing Grand Prix MotoGP from 2012.

This suspension is to cope with tough circumstances mainly caused by the prolonged recession in developed countries, a historical appreciation of Japanese Yen and repeated natural disasters.

Having an eye to returning to MotoGP in 2014, Suzuki will now focus on developing a competitive new racing machine for that class.

Suzuki will continue motocross racing activity and support of road racing activities using mass-produced motorcycles, by obtaining FIM homologation and co-operation with the supplier of its development racing kit parts.

Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este invites entries to second Concorso di Motociclette
Munich/Cernobbio. 2011 was the first year that the Concorso d’Eleganza also invited motorcycles to enter a competition – and the Concorso di Motociclette will be back in 2012 for a second run. As this year, the parkland of Villa Erba, not far from the Villa d’Este in Cernobbio, will provide the stage for this unique beauty pageant. The entry application list for the 2012 Concorso di Motociclette will open on 1 December, and applications are welcome from collectors, enthusiasts and private owners alike. The motorcycles for the event are selected according to their historical significance, as well as technical and aesthetic criteria. Further information on applying to enter the event can be found at www.concorsodeleganzavilladeste.com.
