From: Kevin Stone on 25 Jul 2010 17:59 Hi A while ago someone posted a video of a race in the rain, and the rider in question slid the thing all over the place, in and out of the corners. I vaguely remember the commentary was in Japanese? Can't find the posting, any ideas? TIA -- Kev

The caption was something like, "Some people think you can't get traction in the rain." This vid is much better.

When it was first posted, Champ (IIRC) commented that all races should have Italian commentators. I have to agree. -- Beav > |
