I was talking to a friend about what I thought existed. I swore I heard on one of the MotoGP races that they have an electronic system that basically automates the starting process. Some sort of a timer that automatically engages the clutch to reduce room for error on the starting grid.
Have I just been smoking crack, or does such a device exist? If it does anyone have more info about what it is and how it works?
Step away from the pipe.
Quotean electronic system that basically automates the starting process
Ummm, could it be the central nervous system? LOL ;) ;D

Mabey hand to eye coordination? ;D Could try playing more video games! LOL
Well the reason I ask this is because I'm tyring to figure out what was on a Ducati that was at JenningsGP. The owner has an Ducati that was a Goeberts race bike, then painted to look like the Bostrom L&M. Anyway looking at the bike there was some device mounted up front that was an electronic box of some sort. It had a dial on it, with numbers looked to be a delay of some sort.
Anyone know what that would've been?
hmmmm... tach with gear indicator? :)
ignition cut out box??? go to www.holeshot.com and tell me if it looked like one of his igintion cut out boxes?
Ya guys have to be patient with Davey (lbk). HE owned a Katana 600. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I raced the Katana 600...

You should have asked him what it was. ;D No really those bikes had a magnetta marrelli data system on board. Or it could be a shifter delay. Who knows, go back and ask the guy. :P

Sure wish I could because that would mean I could get some more track time in. But since it's about 1000 miles each way I don't see that happening. LOL
Ok just found out apparently it is for the quick shifter. Someone on the JenningGP forum apparently knows. :D
Ok now back to my crack pipe. Oh and Rob Give me a Katana and I will still hand you your butt out there. LOL
