    With only 2 days until the new year, and just over 2 months until the season starts it's time for a new thread. Who's your money on? Will Bagnia do the triple? Will Marc return to former glory and bring us a season in which he dominates? Will Martin secure his dream to win a championship?...

    Another (road) litre bike bites the dust in Europe

    Thread Starter: onearmedbandit

    The R1 and R1M are being dropped from the road bike line up in Europe, like the GSXR before it. Euro 5+ emission laws and dwindling sales are the main, if not only, reasons. Like the R6 there will be a track only version. https://www.rideapart.com/news/709594/yamaha-r1-r1m-discontinued-europe/ ...

      not that i recall will have a quick look thru. what day and what type of bike (..... and where abouts is pothole)

      got footage of 2 bikes on the ground one is #31 that happened just after i filmed the other one a bit further round the track. also 198 and 2 going off the track before the main straight (think that was on the sunday). and some real shakey footage of 38(or maybe 36) picking up his bike - that could be pothole as it has a large pothole people sign

      It was one of the first races on the Saturday. Bike is a Ducati Monster red tank/ black seat and number boards. I was wearing black leather. Pothole is the one before the hairpin- you are correct it has the big Pothole People sign behind it.
