Alex Schill - bet you felt like the luckiest guy on earth! December 28, 2009 06:39 AM
what an amazing opprotunity! even if you only had 15 minutes per bike, wow that must have been one of the best days ever. i'm a huge fan of the yamaha personally, but i also love the new aprilia and bmw. i know that wsbk regulations allows for the gastank to be under the seat, but for a second it looked as though the bmw kept the tank in its normal place, was there a specific reason they did this? did it effect how it entered turns? again, amazing review, loved every second of it and the season

What an amazing up close and personal look at these bikes. This is the closest that the rest of us will ever get to it. Not sure how you pulled this off, but I do hope that you can do it every year. The RSV4 just looks amazing and of all of the bikes looks the best in the video.

Great job on the video Steve & crew. Steve, you're looking smooth and relaxed on camera and explaining yourself clearly and simply. You lucky so and so riding those bikes at that track! Good for you guys at MCUSA for getting the site to where it is today. Nice job on the editing and camera work. Well done. PS - If you're ever calling out sick or need another LA based test rider with moto video experience on both sides of the camera may I humbly offer my services.
