4:32 about those times. I had to make a comment on that. If he legit was pushing low 1:43s with an ideal 1:42 then I bow my hat as thats a phenomenal time round almeria on a '16 rsv4

I was there Feb with some top racers cracking in traffic 1:41-1:42s and I personally missed the 1:43s with a 1:44.004 on mylaps

I messaged 44 teeth on Instagram and chased mine up and it was delivered within a few days.
I think they struggled with the unexpected numbers.

I just mentioned the Motolink reference due to the previous bickering in the thread about BvG owing the BMW motorcycle dealership in Alton.

His Aprilia RSV4 sounds epic in that video, I dont think I would have my licence long with a bike that sounds like that!

There's a link to a lap of Almeria in that video, no idea if it's the fastest but seems consistent with what he is saying.

“Permission to Torque”
Recieved mine, they only ask you pay the postage biggrin
For me it can only be a good thing if it helps people to open up & speak about Mental Health

Good fit for Bike screens, Helmet or Car window……
Coke can for size reference biggrin

I saw BvG outside a McDonald's and he told me to enjoy my burger.

And I did.

We got ours pretty quickly when they were 1st released and managed to avoid the delay.

Nobody wants to torque to me though.

Check your lhs engine cover bolts on the 660, I saw a cover come loose at Silverstone with big oil loss.

It has GB Racing covers on so some of the bolts have been refitted and torqued up, but I always run a torque wrench over a new bike myself when I pick them up.

Cheers for the heads up though.
