    Maybe it's me, but this has seemed like a scary year in MotoGP. The close racing is great to watch, though at times they are very close to things going badly wrong.

    I would not want Mike Webb's job for anything.

    In a recent interview Mike said the hardest part was stopping the Moto3 riders from being dicks....

    Historically probably the roughest riding ever seen was Brands Hatch in the 50's and 60's. the "Brands scratchers" were pretty rough.
    A few kiwis went there and rode....then rode like that when they came home, LOL. At Ruapuna in the late 60's it was a body contact sport....

    Good to see they are using him to ride bikes, bit like Martin Brundle in the Sky UK commentary team.

    Along way to go for a wash Dave ?

    lol I know how it feels Crashalot !
    I qualified fastest at Porirua one year in the pissing rain.
    A sidecar had an off and killed someone I think ?
    The Meeting was canned. I didn't really care that much, hated getting wet lol.

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    You know you are old if you raced at Porirua!

    Meanwhile - Roll on Misano. This junkie is hanging out for his next fix.

    Are you still old if you were only a marshall at Porirua?

    On Twitter this morning Mat Oxley made mention of needing a lawyer. Subsequent chatter indicated his comments about the asphalt contractor at Sliverstone were the cause of his problem.

    Older than someone who was a mere spectator?

    That's right Dadpole, I did them all (apart from the cancelled one). First was in about 1971 ?

    Yes roll on the next GP, we're all hanging out huh ?

    Well, despite the brave words from Silverstone, my son has heard nothing this week about a refund. My guess is their insurance won't cover them because it was their own fault that the race was cancelled.

    As usual, the real winners will be the lawyers.

    I wonder if the Silverstone lot will try to hide behind a force majeure clause (I expect there was one)?

    They are talking to their insurance company. Could be a long discussion.

    haha Dad, maybe ? Act of god, or shitty re surface ? This could take a while and could cost Silverstone lots,including holding another GP.
    Always been a fan of Donington anyway. Some great GPs there thru the years.

    More importantly for me, it pissed down here early today so no ride again ! @#$$%(&%$#@^&$#$# !!!
