Cheers.

Great present, but get a vacuum for her as well just in case

She's got one, but since discovering bikes forgot where she put it.

One reservation I have is that the TAB might work similarly to my MCN fantasy teams. Picking a rider in my team is the kiss of death to a rider's chances. . Shakey Byrne is my #1 BSB rider so he crashed in testing and damaged his ankle. These days he sends twitter messages from a decompression chamber.

Marquez and Sykes had better be careful, as had Redding and Terol. And possibly Dovizioso if I place that bet?

PS Ahhh I see that the TAB have noticed the test resulta from Qatar, or a lot of people found the odds attractive; Dovi is paying $21 now. If you made that bet yesterday Pete you done good.

I did. But it's still very unlikely he'll win it.

At the Moto2 Moto3 testing when it rained they tested wet set up, unlike Qatar. Ana Carasco crashed and broke her collar bone. The girl hasn't had much luck, last year she was with a cash strapped team, now this.

Suzuki Sponsors MotoGP Highlights
Suzuki New Zealand is pleased to announce that it will again sponsor the World MotoGP Championship highlights package on TV3.
With the season opening in Qatar on March 30, all eyes will be on the starting grid, which this year includes the return of the Suzuki race team with its potent two-bike GSX-RR entry.

2014 saw wheel to wheel racing, with breath-taking displays of skill and outright bravery from all riders. This year will be no different in that respect, and with new faces on the grid mounted on some all-new machines, motorcycle aficionados can look forward to some exciting tussles right through the pack.

The return of Suzuki also brings the exciting talent of Maverick Vinales to top level racing, fresh from Moto 2 last year. He and team mate Aleix Espargaro will have their work cut out on the all-new Suzukis, competing against other experienced and established MotoGP teams

Courtesy of sponsorship from Suzuki New Zealand, Kiwis can view highlights packages of each round of the 2015 MotoGP, free to air on TV3.

That really sux! Poor her. Hope it is not tooo bad, but no time to repair for race 1.

Bridgestone have added two new tyre options. You've got some time to memorise these, it might take me a bit longer though.

I do seem to recall some discussion from a year or two back where the consensus among the pundits was that the riders didn't like asymetric fronts? Seems at least some have got over that.

They'll keep saying that even once it's showing on Tv3 so that you keep paying the bill in the hope they'll stop being fuckwits.
