To anyone in the US that wants to watch the live races on worldsbk.com here is how you do it. After some research I found that you could watch the races if you go through a proxy server. I tried it in Firefox but it did not work, but it did work in IE. First you need to get an ip address and port for a proxy server outside the US, I used this site http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html. Once you have one, open up IE and then Tools>Internet Options>Connections TAB>Lan Settings> check the proxy server button and enter in the IP address and port number for the proxy server and then just click OK. You might have to try a few before it works. I used the ip address 194.176.176.82 and port 8080 which worked for me. Just try a few different addresses and see which one works. Oh and btw spies kicked ass!!!

here is a youtube video that explains the process, It shows you how to do it for firefox and IE.

Just get an IP address that works and your set. You could try using the one that I used and see if it works for you. Otherwise your just gonna have to keep trying until one works for you, that's what happened to me . By works I mean once you have done everything and you open up IE or Firefox it loads the web page. If it dosent you are gonna have to try another address. Oh and just turn off proxies if you want everything back to normal by unchecking the button. I hope that helps.

looks like the '09 R1 isn't such a bad bike after all (and Spies nothing to snort at either). The R1 with race exhaust sounds orgasmic - clearly, the stock cans and the ungainly look of the '09 R1 off the showroom floor can easily be fixed with a set of slip ons.
