I would argue that he may have loose bolt or two naturally:)

To your point though, this site is great entertainment and offers a nice break from the stresses of daily life. And I don't even really miss the free movies.

Hey Frosty...

Ok question back to you...

Why does any manufacturer enter racing???
You don't think they use it as a huge marketing opportunity to sell their product?? You think Porsche don't play on their Le Mans victories?? Or that Ferrari doesn't use their " F1 tech" to sell cars?? Of course they do... no one here is claiming the Rsv4 is the same bike as their Wsbk bikes...of course they aren't but Ducati are in both MotoGp and Wsbk for the very reasons I just listed... and their lack of success does reflect badly...It really does....
Audi will spend lord knows how much money engineering facilities and time to get Ducati back on the podium..just you watch... and why

To sell on Tuesday (as most dealers are closed on Mondays as Frosty says lol)

I didnt say their race efforts weren't for marketing purposes. I'm asking what difference it makes to YOU the owner of the bike, so you can go brag to your buddies at Starbucks about how someone else won a race with similar equipment to yours? Pat on the ....... back, beers all round.
 
Frosty you never studied marketing or have a strong grip on advertising and rudimentary behavioral neuroscience...the collective gaze and the notion of pulling up on a sexy two-wheeled Ferrari missing some bolts and how that individual is perceived is a strong component in mc sales, as it is with many other products. by the same token, that bragging rights wreath sticker on championship winning bikes is always there when it is deserved and is a basic positive feedback loop from proud owner (and his/her ego) to co.

don't drink and ride.

Beers all round is a figure of speech. I wouldn't expect the less educated to understand what that is. :rolleyes:

Lol.... Well given your use of expletives I am not sure you should be the one to raise the question of education.:p..

It seems you fail to accept that whilst you may not buy a bike based on its manufacturers success on the track.. I assure you that this ...not only this...but this is indeed a factor in riders choices about what they buy.... maybe that's lame... but its undoubtedly true... Aprilia are a tiny company and they simply would not spend the $$$ if it didn't factor into their selling doctrine...
 
and here i was considering moving to Canada...or better yet the antipodal lands!

It absolutely cannot be coincidence that you're from the same country that brought the world Justin Bieber.

Hence my question, what difference does it make, to the owners here, who won the race last weekend? There are thousands of Panigale owners, obviously they didn't buy the bike because of race results.
 
and to think of all the race fans blankly watching a car go round in circles with golden arches plastered all over it to find themselves after the spectacle super sizing themselves...

& they don't have Starbucks in South Africa? WTF?!?!?!

It's you're. I wouldn't expect someone who lives in the city that needed billions of dollars of bailout to get it right, just like they couldn't get their cars right.

Lol. Great job! An entire post from YOU that doesn't mention Starbucks or an F-bomb. YOU're gaining class by the post.
 
i'm politically agnostic; that is, i despise both teams. i believe in the constitution and liberty and true capitalism -- that which is no longer honored here.

got bolts?

Unfortunately, and in direct opposition to my political beliefs, you're probably right. But we'll still have to protect Canada from any international bullies.
