I can agree that one of the functions of a forum is to share experience and knowledge to the benefit for all, or for as many as it can help. And while RD does show a good bit of the build stuff going on, sharing what is happening in specifics with a race component failure would most likely be a conflict of interest in sponsorship. At the very least, it would be bad form and unprofessional to do so. Had this been one of us bench guys - a guy like TRMN8TR being the perfect Triumph example - then I am sure we would have certainly shared. But given the variables of an AMA race-spec machine in a race rather unique to even the AMA schedule as Daytona, and the failure might likely be something that falls within that goofy 1% of shit that happens when racing at that level. We do the best we canto help eachother out here with as much as we can. But I wouldn't consider RD not sharing details of their problem in the 200 anything more than their own business. Just my $.02.

Looks like the cop was trying to knock them off the bike. At that speed the motorbike was going being knocked off should have been relatively harmless - but at the speed the cruiser was going the risk of them going under the wheels was extremely high. I would argue the officer needed something more than riding without plates (or running because they were riding without plates) to justify that collision if it was intentional. I don't know what information the officer had so I can't comment on that. It's difficult to say if the collision was accidental or intentional - it could go either way. We would expect the officer to approach quickly and get close, and the bike had slowed down just seconds before - but the cruiser was going at a speed and on a trajectory that would have allowed him to easily brake or steer right to avoid the collision at the last second. My guess is that the officer was hoping to knock them off the bike and misjudged it. Don't think that it rises to a criminal level, but I'd be taking a close look at if he should remain a police officer. And let's not forget that the cops don't chase innocent people like that - we give cops a badge, a gun and a cruiser, demand they make split-second decisions in life and death situations, then site back for weeks and research & debate every single individual action. I give cops a lot of leeway in these situations, recognizing the dynamic nature of the circumstances, adrenaline, fear, responsibility and the fact it's happening in real time for them - I am quick to forgive honest mistakes. What I don't think we should tolerate is behavior that is in bad faith, before or after the event. If we believe the cop was only trying to end the pursuit and not trying to kill the guy then he should be forgiven for the bad judgement call under condition that the department all learn form that and adapt their policies to be better suited to the needs of that individual pursuits in the future. People make mistakes at work - it happens, always will. We all expect to be forgiven our mistakes at work while scream out for the cop to be fired when they make a mistake. If we fired every cop who made a mistake we'd have no cops left.

Holy balls, out of facking nowhere, it's mr anderson!!1!1!1!!!1

What a coincidence. Just a few weeks ago I was posting my opinion of those guys on the Toyota Century owners forum. I hope none of my buddies from that forum there had anything to do with this ........ Interesting group, those Century owners.

Hey all, I have a good friend that is on here and he has also told me great things so i decided to give it a chance and see for myself. I have been into cars for long time. I have an 05 Mustang GT that I have had modded, I had FRPP hot rod cams put with a custom tune done by Pick Ups Plus. They do great work. I have many more mods I would like to do, the mod bug hit me pretty good. I ma currently down in Cincinnati for school, but Columbus has always been home for me. Here is some links to pics of my car: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/531210_3062207893195_12782083_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/304827_3062208693215_1430130889_n.jpg

Probably on purpose...sponsors and stuff ya know? They probably aren't going to come out and say "Our XXXX part from YYYY manufacturer broke in the beginning of the race."
