s.tyler58 Posted January 26, 2018 Share #3 Posted January 26, 2018 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=111384 I wonder what the reaction will be in Sturgis? http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20180126-meet-the-motorbike-racing-robotWhy in the world would a motorcycle need a robot driver or why would a robot have any interest in a motorcycle at all? That's just too weird for me to even contemplate. Does it have a cooler in its torso that you can get into while riding behind it? Then I might let someone drive me Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpuc Posted January 27, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 27, 2018 I just stepped out in the garage and asked Maggie the R1 what she thought about this.. Her words? "They put that thang on my back they better double tie wrap his hands on the bars and super glue his feet on the pegs cause I will buck em off so fast when he wicks me up that he'll be in worse shape than C3PO after the Empire got done with him at Landeau's joint after he hits the pavement" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvester Posted January 27, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 27, 2018 You never cease to amaze me with your memory and gab, Puc. Thanks for being here.

mraf Posted January 28, 2018 Share #6 Posted January 28, 2018 They finally replaced the little crazy Japanese guy that did the 1/4 mile testing. I always knew that the only way any of the 1/4 mile times that they got was when they taped the throttle wide open and kicked it off of the centerstand. I figured he was about to retire about now and they couldn't find anyone crazy enough to replace him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaharly Posted January 28, 2018 Share #8 Posted January 28, 2018 That's a good read right there. Kind of makes a guy happy to see it still being 30 seconds behind humanity... I wonder if it waves at other bikers going down the road??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vzuden Posted January 29, 2018 Share #10 Posted January 29, 2018 That rider needs some diamond cutting done. Let his sparkling disposition shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mraf Posted January 29, 2018 Share #11 Posted January 29, 2018 OK, I went back and read the whole article. It basically is about making a racing bike that can beat Valentino Rossi. They can make everything perfect but they will always have one missing link. BALLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
