I just so happens that i have a DVD recorder at home, and lucky for i'm a nice guy, sometimes, but unlucky for you, you ride a honda, but lucky for you you admit it as a shit bike, so i'll see what i can do.

So is it on SKY this year instead of Prime?

I think it is still on Prime.......odd cause last year Sky said they were not ging to do Motogp and now they buy Prime....should be interesting.

$2/race - bargain!.

My Honda will be traded in on either a Gixxer or ZX10 sometime early next year I reckon. Does that qualify for the discount??? Pleeeease....

Not if michelin can't sort out the vibration problem that both him and Edwards are having.

Usually the preseason trials spit up some new reasons to get excited but then the usual suspects surface with the race wins. hopefully this year may be different with the Kwakas putting up good times and the new infusion of riders. But who would bet their mortage on any one but Rossi to win the Championship. The guy and his team have consistency as their number one weapon.
But lets hope the others especially Ducati really take it to Yamaha this year.

Oh and lets hope that Sky don't fuck up the coverage by dropping it from Prime.

hmmm can anyone point me to vid of the pre-season 'tests'?? please

MotoGP will be on Prime, so Fishplayer dust off the video and buy some blank tapes, most races are around midnight on a Sunday night/Monday morning. But as you rarely watch TV guess you'll miss them. So how are you going to find time to watch DVD's?

Rossi to win by a country mile, good scrap for second. Hope Bridgestone can come up with some consistently competitive tyres.
