When the forum troll is a world-class engineer and he's building a dreambike

Interesting article on Jalopnik about how Frank Stephenson (head designer for McLaren) goes after people on ducati forums and starts fights while designing and building a unique, very beautiful, and undoubtedly fantastic custom 1098. It's like a combo of Tye and Thorsten only sober, with knowledge, fastidious, and has lots of dough to throw around.

I say just watch and enjoy:






McLaren's chief designer is a master Internet troll

He's working on the wrong bike. The 1198 has had no issues winning.

If he's going to put some effort into this, go work on the GP12 bike. Oh wait, a bunch of other very smart people have managed to dig themselves into a hole on that one too.

Amazing that someone so talented could be that insecure.

'Spose he's ever ridden a motorcycle? 'Spose he's ever talked with a MotoGP rider or crew about his ideas or is he just bolting shark bits to a bike because he knows better?

Hilarious, I always wondered who that troll was haha. As said earlier if he really wants to prove himself lend the Ducati Corse engineers a hand with the GP11.1..
