    absolutely! I have been to a number of GPS in a number of countries over the years and it keeps getting better and better each year - The best part (out of many great parts)? THE NOISE. Until you go to a live GP and experience that noise of a full field of MotoGP bikes when the lights go off - you haven't lived!
    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "

    Vinales is en route to PI - with his new lawyer. The plot thickens...

    Jorge is leading the title chase by 23 points. Why? Because he has scored more points than the other Spaniard and that Aussie brat.

    And he's about to be a deserved Champion once again. It'll match Stoners two titles. Pretty sure Stoner beat him by more than 23 points last year though eh? 90 wasn't it?

    I would've thought you of all people could put personalities aside and admire pure skill Robert.

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    I've never got why there are so many out there (and a surprising number here) who are bent on heaping Stoner with vicious, vindictive slurs on him and specially you Robert? It's got me fukd............ Mostly Stoner's comments are honest responses to questions put to him by the media. Would you rather he gave hypocritical replies that made him popular?

    Anyhow, he's got the last laugh on the tall popy syndrome affected wankers, as he's done it and they haven't.
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Well no. I'll be waging war with Crasher and the other Neanderthals from behind my keyboard. But I might see you there on the TV.

    Mrs Jelly & I went to Phillip Island for MotoGP in 2005 and 2008. Camped at the circuit. Awesome! Our favourite spot is...better not tell you that, we don't want too much competition...oh, OK, it's the final turn. Tried to get there for WSBK this year, but it didn't work out. Maybe next year.

    Dunno. But so much for backing our Aussie brothers! Most if not all of it is simple petty jealousy. He has millions and millions of dollars, a drop dead gorgeous wife. He's a two times world champ that's beaten one of the worlds greatest more than he's been beaten by him (think there's more of ya reasons right there too)...and he says it like he sees it. It's all too much for them.
