The Honda is the clear number 1 bike... Rossi held the lead for half the race on the number 2 bike, and managed to keep Marquez behind him under pressure without making a mistake. He also started 5th on the grid..

And they hardly 'walked away' from him, he was only around a second behind

9 on the trot now

Starting from pit lane, in horrible conditions, with a team mate who excels here, in his second year on the bike amazing

If you take Lorenzo out of the 2013 race results, he would have won almost all the remaining races That's just unbelievable.

I'd be shocked if (excluding accidents) he loses more than twice for the rest of the year Who has dominated like this? in their second year?!?! Love this kid

I've rented houses, stayed in caravan parks, even flown down on the day & hired cars.

If there's a few of you; renting a holiday house on the island can be pretty good value.

Went down with 5 mates for WSBK; rented a 5 bedroom house for 5 days, cost us $250 each. Walking distance to Cowes, either a bus ride or a short ride to the circuit.

Dependent on whether you plan to drink at the circuit.

Look on Stayz.com or lastminute.com, they aren't hard to find. Obviously as the time approaches choices become more limited.

It's loads of fun; being up close and seeing those guys run deep into turn 1 is pretty epic.
The noise of the MotoGP bikes up close is indescribable; not like Top Fuel for example, but pretty awesome.

As an event, I prefer WSBK; it's waaay more laidback, and bike riders get special treatment at the circuit (you can ride your bike around inside; even parking close to spectator areas) on Friday & Saturday; you can ride you bike right up to the fenceline.
Whereas at MotoGP, you get treated like every other mutt, and have to park outside and walk around inside. Everything is much more serious, and geared to the corporate side.

Obviously MotoGP draws a much bigger crowd over the weekend, so it would be more difficult logistically, but the vibe at WSBK is much nicer.

Do yourself a favour & get down to Isola restaurant in Cowes if you can; all the Italian teams eat there, so you can potentially be rubbing shoulders with the riders.
Fantastic food, great prices, top atmosphere, not pretentious at all. The wait staff weren't too shabby when we were there too...

Get down there; you won't regret it. ;)

Wish I was going down, but I'll be there for WSBK next year.

FORZA VALE!!!!!!!!!

This is one race Marquez more than likely would not have won anyway, he was pushing well past the limit of the Honda at this track to even stay with Rossi

A well deserved win for Rossi, and what better place to do it...For the home crowd and for Simoncelli

A few big offs, Iannone, Rossi and Pedrosa.. No idea why Marquez stayed out so long, but I guess he thought the rain would clear and the 40 seconds lost swapping bikes wasn't worth it if he could just cruise around for a few laps...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
