    Presumably he has at least five in the hallway. Didnt he make a buttload of money in Gold Coast property and got out before the arse fell out?

    Slow piece of shite... Ariel Atom, 11 seconds flat for the supercharged version, 11.05 for the regular one.

    I believe so. Can't remeber what he does now. Some sort of 'management' business perhaps? And yeah...think he has all five of 'em. Should offer to sell Rossi one. He's still bent out of shape for not getting one.

    Didn't think Freddie Spencer would either but divorce can do that to you apparently.

    His business interests are in aviation. I seem to recall that he was leasing out executive jets or similar?

    There's a Tui ad if ever there was one, the only part of me that moves with bikes like a Suzuki Burgman or Buell 1125r is my bowel.

    Like it or not most of us drive more than we ride, so ya might as well spend time driving something enjoyable rather than waste time driving something you don't. I realise needs must but God didn't invent petrol for people to waste it on Camry's and Honda DN-01's.

    Is sir trying to overcompensate?

    I'd look at the link, but I fear it would only look like a cruiseboat anchor's worth of steel
