    Hayden? That is one rumour right?
    "...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 - "

    Yep. This'll be the upteenth time I've repeated this: Raced a KX80 motard with the buckets 4 years ago. Outgrew the bike. Got a CBR250RR 3 years ago, raced in streetstock. Flew past everyone, then crashed. Next race, flew past everyone again, crashed again. Wrecked that, missed the season, sold it off. (Would like to add that I kept on flying. I was averaging a fair bit faster than everyone else. Set fastest lap, etc.) Got RG150 2 years ago. So afraid of wrecking it I was at the back of the pack. Got it back on the road to gain confidence. Wrecked it, missed the season. Missed last years season, and this years too so far.

    Now I have a bucket, which is what I should've got those 3 years ago. The VFR is also destined for the track when I can afford too.

    Started at a similar time to Sketchy_Racer, only he seems to have done everything right whereas I've done everything wrong (with exceptions on both sides of the story).

    At the next round after their one month break, expect to see Gibernau on the Ducati replacing Melandri, and Marco on a Kawasaki. Team Green are looking to run 3 bikes until the end of the season. Hayden is rumoured to have signed with Ducati for next season. Melandri and Ant West will need to prove if either are to keep the green seat for next year.
