    They said images of the 22-year-old non-smoker and his bike covered in logos of Marlboro cigarettes while racing and in the media are sending the wrong message to his fans, particularly impressionable young children.
    I think that the fact he doesn't smoke sends a far stronger message to his fans then the tobacco company sponsorship does.

    You can push your own barrow with Vege, sunshine.

    I'm on Jone's jokes email list.
    You know how some of your mates you wish would stop sending you lame gags?

    Rhys's are always GOLD.

    On Saturday afternoon I was sitting in my deck chair, drinking beer and
    watching my wife mow the lawn. The neighbour, a lady from across the street,
    was so outraged that she came over and shouted at me, "You should be
    hung!"

    I took a sip from my can of Beck's German Beer, wiped the cold foam
    from my lips, lifted my darkened Ray Ban sunglasses and stared directly
    into the eyes of this irritating neighbor, and calmly replied, "I am.
    That's why she cuts the grass."

    Tell the fat hairy lesbians to go watch "Thank You For Smoking" and remind themselves (again) that they've been pwned by the Tobacco industry. 1/5th of the world's population is currently aspiring to be a regular smoker and Casey is the man for the job.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yes - I apologise.

    Do you know how much it rained in the fortnight before that mag came out. I wanted a nice pic with a nice bike and nice backdrop.

    I had to wait till the rain stopped long enough to put my camera on the front steps and even then it was a rush before it drowned.

    An hour before deadline.

    Still a mint Jacket.

    Don't apologise to me mate... Apologise to your wife for making her mow a wet lawn - and the stubble too if she's the kind of woman that minds that

    And yeah, the Triumph gear looks pretty good to me.

    I submitted another 100 words about the Triumph Kevlar Jeans too.

    They are expensive - more than draggins I think, and I don't have any safety data, but they are more comfy than any others I've used by a commensurate amount.

    No tobacco sponsors were harmed in this diversion.

    I thought Mr Stoner's replay was quite apt. Brilliant name for a rider, but not quite as good as Scott Speed.

    Looked in the mirror - clearly food advertising doesn't work.

    I looked in the mirror and concluded that it's not necessary.

    No, that's my line!
