Angie McBride's bike....

What is up with her bike not being able to go down the track without almost throwing her off it? Surely there has to be some gremlin, as I'm sure if she can handle an outlaw bike that doesn't have wheelie bars, I'm sure she can handle a pro stock.

Re: Angie McBride's bike....

I was wondering the same thing. If she were a rookie I'd wonder if she's over her head but she's riden enough and done fine so something is off on the set up. Hope they get it turned around

Re: Angie McBride's bike....

even taking the risk of sounding like a jerk it sounds as though she is still trying to learn how to ride. Nothing can prepare you for a pro stock motorcycle, and if you can afford to test the only time to practice is on tour. She will get the hand of it just like everyone else. Until then she may look a little foolish; have to start somewhere.

IMHO, she'll be fine. She can ride and has proven it in the past. This year isn't her first rodeo, I'm sure it will come.

No doubt, I think it said she ran 7.12 without a wheelie bar... She will make it. She has a good trainer to boot!

Best of luck Angie.
