According to an old Italian saying “A wet bride is a lucky bride”, so I feel to extend a similar wish to our 2008 PMP graphic. Last weekend the PMP crew was in Jennings, Florida for the customary winter event down South, in the so-called Sun State, but on Saturday the guys (I remained in NYC) were welcomed by heavy rain and unusual low temperatures. Indeed Sunday was a dry day and the temperature went up to 52, warm enough to let starving riders to satisfy their hanger for riding accumulated after almost 4 months of inactivity. I have not met yet the guys to get more details, but I did hear that despite the winter rust, they were going as fast as they could, inspired by the presence of a “Canadian champion” in Jennings for a week of tests.
Anyhow, thank you to Almos we have a few picture about the weekend and the new PMP 2008 graphic too! This year our “painter” Mario Pires opted for a mono-color bike, white pearl with blue reflections, while the graphic, inspired by one of Rossi’s bikes in 2007, was developed by our artist and graphic specialist Diana Sliwa, JS Typography. It is again Diana behind the creation of the beautiful PMP poster/wall paper picture that shows in detail our beloved trademark logo.
On a different note it’s with a lot of curiosity that I post the following picture:
This the GPS layout of the track with info about the rider’s performance as memorized by Almos’s latest gadget on his GSX-R 750: I will let him, maybe in the comment section,to describe the different functions of this expensive toy.
The next track event for us will be only in April, but with all the MotoGp tests scheduled in the next future and all the speculations and suspense that they create the time will go by fast …very fast.

This GPS based system for laptimer makes this Athon GPS-R totally stand alone unit without the need of any transmitters the side of the track like the used by the "old" generation systems based on the infrared technology. I can set 3 different intermediate split times, start/finish line. Every time I return to the track the unit recognize the track based on the coordinates. Also it stores the track map, so i can analyze my performance on the track. As you can see on the picture. The red is acceleration, the blue is deceleration, it's not necessary braking it just registers when the speed decreases like when i let off the throttle a bit. Also i can compare different laps (up to 3 laps) on the same screen and i can see the different lines i was riding. Thats all, basically it's a nice toy :) and I think it will be very helpful too.
