learning something each day
two highlights of today:
1. Talking with Jordan and how the 09 GSXR 1000 is utterly different from the 08, and discussing all the engineering & computer CAD modelling they are going through with design perameters for creating computer generated solutions that need to be tested on the track.
2. Interviewing Chris Ulrich about his 09 GSXR 1000 and the methodical problem solving to get rid of the shock rebound type pump action due to the progressive OEM linkage. That should be posted on www.onthethrottle.tv withint he next few days.
On a teaser note Dave McGrath discussed recent developments to the Geico Buell that should make it considerably more competitive.
Tomorrow will be a full day!!

day one at Road America with On The Throttle
a gorgeous day here at Road America! My first time here reminds me a lot of Mid Ohio with the countryside. Lots of prep work to do in getting everything set up n the media center and in scouting out the teams, track locations for camera work and schedule of work re interviews etc.
New concept being tried out this weekend with OTT - I will be wandering round recording changes made to the bikes with a camcorder and mic. Should be interesting so then I can interview the crew chiefs later.

road trip........ to Road America with On The Throttle
Yes, packing the bags and heading off with long pants, brogues and official shirts to quiz crew chiefs on their work, interview riders on their struggles and generally poke the OTT microphone in faces with normally unasked astute questions on chassis and suspension.
Look for some posts each day!
