    That article is in sharp contrast to the ScooterGP: category that we are heading towards. Like it or not
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    CS has been posting on twitter about his latest motor racing project. It's a radio controlled model car, it appears to be an off-roader type but I know sfa about model cars. He mentioned a race meeting at a particular track; he must have been happy because I haven't seen any complaints.

    I'd love an r/c helicopter, preferably with some sort of weapons system. For purely legal uses of course.

    That is actually a disturbingly easy thing to construct.

    I've been wondering a lot this season about Randy de'Puniet and what the hell has happened to his effort on the Aprilla. I mean, shit, Aliex out qualified him by 1.5s at Misano. At leas this article asks the same question as I:

    "For whatever reason, de Puniet has been riding this season with body language that suggests someone had intentionally shot his dog, and looked pretty dour for a guy married to a super-model who seems to hate wearing clothes."

    Couldn't have said it better myself.....
    Disclaimer: I don't actually know what I'm talking about and everything I say should be taken as words of wisdom from a armchair general/mechanic/engineer/racer.

    Good to see he's thinking about what he'll do when he retires and also about the over whelming number of Spanish riders and the lack of leading Italian riders. I'm betting that's still a way off because even though he doesn't seem to be able to get close to Marquez, Lorenzo and Pedrossa now he's still a gold mine of publicity for the factory team. It's likely that Yamaha will keep him on to pay the bills.

    Hope the team goes well though.

    For getting bums in seats, I think that's probably well deserved.

    Well, it said "quiet Australian". That's code for New Zealander.
