Bish man

I couldnt go for Melandri as if you pay close attention my bike has the 04 Movistar colour scheme and Melandri didnt sign until this season

Also another reason is I only wear Arai lids and Melandri wheres Nolan or some other pov make

But Gibernau wears Arai hence the bike will wear the Number 15 plate to go for the full GP rep

It wouldnt matter if Gibernau finished last every race for the rest of the season , hed still be a Telefonica MoviStar rider and theres a VERY GOOD reason for that

No arguments there mate

How funny is Sete when he crosses the line giving it the coffee beans shake

Its one of 2 motorsports i have time for.........Ralling comes second to GP's.

Used to be into WSB when foggy was in it, but its lost its edge lately! Good to see Colin Edwards doing well in GP's though.

How'd you mean Lewis.........About the F1 bit.

I love watching GP's as there's some much more life & character to the stars!

Whats the story with regards to the CC change, are they doing it again??

I used to love watching Doohan ride the screamer lump in his Honda, thing used to try & spit him off! Think Honda had 2 types.........Screamer & big bang engines back in the day. Man you just gotta love 2 strokes!

Most fun on a bike i ever had was a Suzuki RGV250, power bands rock!!!

I might even look at getting another...................thats got me thinking!!

The only people who wanted 800cc were honda and reason or allegeded reason for going to 800cc is to do with saftey which IMO is utter bollocks and using Dajiro Kato`s death to highlight the fact is fucking just wrong

But because Honda field a 3rd of bikes on the Moto-GP grid it appears what Honda wants Honda gets

The other teams should boycott until the decision is over turned

And they want to think about limiting the amount of technology they can fit to a bike as pretty soon people who ride like Gary McCoy ( Slide King ) will be non-existent

With the fitment of slipper clutches when was the last time you seen anyone get proper squirelly going into a corner due to rear wheel lock up ? Soon the bikes wont wheelie as theyll have fookin gravity sensors and shit

No way that would be spot on , closest thing to a Moto-Gp bike is the Aprilia RS250
