His bike was smoking like a train last night. Why doesn't JB's bike smoke like that?

I don't think they've given him the best bikes, my guess, it is a guess, is that Yamaha haven't given Michael as much attention at the TT as they give to the short circuit riders. Martrain Yamaha have the same engine issues as Milwaukee, this is a big embarrassment, but to Yamaha IMO.

This could cost them in sales for sure.

And if MD does well on the BMW, then that'll be even worse for them.

Apparently the Buildbase BMW is not even on the IOM yet! Its in the queue for the ferry.
