He seems very careful on what he says... Interesting point of view though...

he took for ever to "carefully" word his rebuttle of traction control.

watching this video was like watching bush say he doesnt believe in drilling for oil, but advancing alternative energy research.

I think everyone should watch that video 5 times and actually listen to what he is saying (espeicially about how Suzuki's are the best bike :D ), as someone that is using/developing a system it is NOT easy to figure out. I totally agree that my bike is way faster for a lap with it turned off, sure over a 14 lap race I would say the bike is faster and more consistant, but you need a different setup to make the TC work and a different tire selection for TC. If the TC is popping away you are going slower than if it isnt popping, it isnt going to stop a highside (ask Shannon :D ), and you may notice mine is getting less active every time i go out, but my lap times are getting faster :wink:
