AMA is back for another season!!!

I love AMA, I'm a huge, HUGE Mat Mladin fan and I also like Ben Spies and the Hayden brothers. What is great about AMA is there is at least 2 quality riders at each level (Duhamel, Gobert, DiSalvo, Yates) all those guys are competitors and it doesn't matter if it's Superbike or Formula Xtreme or whatever, there's always someone great to follow. I'm really interested to see this year how the new Beull bike is going to do on Formula Xtreme with the twin Harley engines.

I'll be heading to Laguna Seca as usual this summer for round 7. Nothing will beat last year's weekend when MotoGP came also and Nicky Hayden got his first GP victory but I still expect awesome racing.

Yeah I like watching Supercross racing. I just saw a race the other day, and it was on the On board rider cam, and this guy just landed and ran over a guy that fell in front of him. Looked painful, not sure if it was at Indy, or Atlanta.

Awsome! I was actualy in Daytona last weekend for the AHRMA races (brother raced) and I saw a few XB-RRs in action. They are pretty fast I must say. There is a lot of coverage on tonight

Well, if anyone watched the races today, they were quite entertaining. Mladin pulled out the Superbike win for the first race of the season but Ben Spies pushed him to the final stretch...that was an awesome race and Mladin showed his experience by letting Spies take the lead going into the high banking turns and then he used the draft to get the extra hp to squeeze by him at the checkered.

And in the 200 Forumla Xtreme, Miguel Duhamel had the race in hand until the 20th or so lap when he made a mental error and high-sided the bike, destroying the windscreen and damaging his helmet. He fought back and finished 5th but I'm sure he was bothered by the crash.

I thought it was really cool in the 200 race seeing the bikes have to pit. That's not normal for most races but it added a nice little element. And just like NASCAR or open-wheel racing, a few riders made or broke their performance by the pit efficiency. Great weekend.

Didn't catch the superbike race but from what I have heard it was awsome. I wish the superbikes still did the 200.

I watched past of the 200. Man duhamel's crash looked pretty hard, I was amazed to see him just get up and run to his bike, and then to keep going at a competitive pace. Then to see the pace car screw up..

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
