Seeing your post count here, I'd imagine you'll be hooked full-time to the motoGP6 by June then?

Besides, as a law-enforcement officer you should be supporting this. Take it to the TV, kids, don't do it on the street.

Yep, at least they can do their hooning on the tv. Its a good place to settle scores. My 6 year old step son kicks arse.

Meh, gives them ideas. People think they now know about racing lines and how to drift, etc. I went into my first streetstock race thinking I knew racing lines fairly well... nope.

I might be wrong, but you strike me as a naive 15y.o sometimes......

Yep, the danger of P.S. - you should have seen the look on a guys face when I let him have a go with a 7.62 X 39 semi auto "Woaa, this is waaay harder than it is on Play Station"
"Yeah? no shit Sherlock, this is a REAL one"
"But it kicks and it takes forever to change mags and stuff and the bullets go all over the place"

WTF???

Hopefully they DON'T think it will improve their riding skill too???

Well some of the top riders use games to famileraise them selves with unseen tracks so if it works for them

I remember John Hopkins talking about the likes of the Motogp series on PS2, he said he uses it to get to know tracks he hasn't ridden but compares in no way what so ever to actually riding. A bit of a no-brainer if you ask me. (Not knocking JH, just anyone who would think it will improve their riding!!)

But I cant be bothered really.

Half an hour each race? 0_0

The endurance ones are close to (and some are even more than) one hour each.

It's fun, though...........unless spinning out on the last lap.
