    The Orbital's I saw when the patent was first taken out were still pre mix,I thought what a waste of time,no way will it take off until they take the oil out of combustion....maybe I should of told them and made money out of it.

    If you do away with crankcase compression you need a blower to supply air,just like a 2 stroke diesel....those early Orbital's were still using crankcase compression.I dismissed Orbital as crap when I saw that,just hot air.If you see any 2 stroke with a positive displacement blower we'll be on the right track as it's giving clean intake air and a complete scavange....then we'll have horsepower with low emissions.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    California has already banned 2 strokes, hence why the 125's/250's didn't race at Laguna Seca. I heard Dorna tried hard to get an excemption for them to race but Arnie and crew wouldn't have a bar of it.

    What's turning me on, is the possibility of Rossi winning this year and so deciding to stay on for one more. Then there would be a chance of him being the first MotoGP rider to win on 3 different spec machines (5 if you include 125 and 250).
