INFINEON - APRIL 27, 2008

Usually we are in "KILL" mode at the races - this weekend we were in "Development" mode. Brian switched back & forth between both bikes during the practice sessions as we bolted & swapped parts & pieces, looking for the perfect combination. While the R1200S seems almost "old" when compared to the HP2 - it is one fantastic bike & in the hands of Brian Parriott is Very Fast. The HP2 has already proven it's a fast & competitive bike, but what we want is the NEXT Step, not just a faster 'S'. This race weekend has provided the track time to dial in the suspension & fine tune the bits & pieces - now we'll focus on HORSEPOWER which is what it will take to be competitive in AMA.

Watching Brian ride a BMW is a thing of beauty
