Re: What Casey Wants
Racing is speculation..ITs not just the best rider..its also equal amounts of luck each and every race. Sometimes its the old saying "on any given day" Stoner was no doubt quick, Marc Marquez is no doubt quicker, he's actually racing. My opinion of Stoner great rider ..but I think he hung ...

Oh God..Airtech revisited
:smt005 Okay we all know the score with Airtech, great for racing...not for anything else if you desire a quality finish applied to it.

Re: Tigcraft.
I know its destined for track duty, so its inevitable your going to throw it down the road on occasion. That may or may not determine the level of detail you decide to invest into it. But that display bike you posted in that red/black frame combo looks utterly gorgeous. I know your not fond of DUCAT...

Edwards had a great career in superbikes and his victory @ Suzuka with Haga was important. But in MOTOGP, he has not had a victory in over a decade :smt015 actally never a victory.
