    What he said LOL and it don't look like they are goin in the right direction to fix it.
    Might be the Stoner effect, MM can ride the wheels of anything like Stoner could. Factories might be a little more lost when tryng to adapt a bike to this type of rider?? I dont really freakin know but it worth dwelling on because Honda seems as lost as Ducati was??
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    Don't you wish you were one of the Leicester City fans that bet ten quid at the start of the season when they were 5000 to 1.

    It cost the bookies over five million pounds. They say they aren't going to offer 5000 to 1 again. Not surprising really.

    Adding further credibility to the Zarco/Suzuki rumours he has recently purchased a copy of Hugh Anderson's biography. Obviously doing his homework on Suzuki's racing history and most successful GP rider.

    Gotta agree with you there mate! Would be good to be part of the crowd if the Old Coot wins one there!

    Jonas Folger has signed to join Tech3.

    Rossi says Movistar want the second rider in the Yamaha team to be Spanish. Like there's a shortage of Spanish riders in the top seats? Vinales and Pedrosa are equal first choice.

    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Yeah, but Movistar is a Spanish company, so...

    BTW, it says in the Wikipedia article that they also own the O2 brand, which I recall seeing on rugby jerseys./ It's a small world, innit?

    And now for something completely different. One for those nostalgic for the days of GP two strokes? Alex Briggs is now selling a bottle opener.

    We made one years ago from a ZX12 rod, after seeing one a mate made from GSXR 250 rod.
