At the end of the day guys, this is what racing used to be like in the good old days of Sheene, Roberts, Mamola, Baker, Hennen. If it gets anything like rough and tumble now they start bleeting. Fair play to Stoner, he did give as good as he got for a while, you always knew who would win the war...

European cameras!

The cop also said that the powers that be don't like the bikes at all as they are far too 'dangerous'. !!

Black leather pants & boots, with a high vis green jacket. White flip front lid.

OOPS Duplicate post.

As ET pointed out Pedrosa went home. He went out in practice and had his left index finger rigid and pointing, as he went onto the track he was nursing the hand on the tank as if it hurt too much to hold the bar. I thought at the time he shouldn't be on the bike. Sensible choice to step back. I...

Incredible race. Stoner & Rossi streaked away banging fairings and both riding beyond the edge. They soon had a 7 second lead on the rest and by lap 9(?) had opened it up to 11 seconds. They continued to pull away occasionally exchanging the lead but mostly with Rossi in front. Stoner eventually...

After using some BMW's, but mainly Honda ST's for years the British force has switched to FJR's. The 1300 ST was tried but lead to several high speed, unprovoked wobbles one of which caused the death of an officer. I spoke to a cop today at the BSB round at Oulton Park who told me that most UK...

Thanks for that I have already got the second one that you mention. I might have a look at the other. Thanks again.

What differences did the brakes have?

I don't mean to be picky, but....I have heard nothing whatsoever from our guys or in the BSB paddock about Nicky even being considered let alone having signed for Ducati. I really can't see it happening. As far as having a more powerful rear brake and a de-tuned front brake, make a note of...

Where did you hear about Nicky and Ducati? It's not one that has surfaced here.

No problem ET just got home and about to watch on replay. I would have done the usual run down but will just add a few snippets. Melandri has been given until the end of the Laguna race to shape up or ship out by Ducati. Apparantly known for his dislike for hangers-on, he usually has no family...

That's a wonderful tribute. He will be remembered by many for a long time to come.

As usual Randy your post is to the point and correct. It is his 6th year (where did that go?!), but he is having his best year i think. I like the guy a lot and would like to see him do well. He is always smiling and has a huge following in the UK. He was based in Lincoln when he was in WSBK...

Nice pictures Gun, not as easy as it looks is it? I have given up, too frustrating. I also liked the software, very cool.

Technology is just scary these days :huh:

A wet race, that got wetter. There is only one story, Lewis Hamilton won by 65 seconds! He was running intermediates as were the rest of the field, and was lapping up to 7 seconds a lap faster than the rest of the field at one point. He has described it as the best result of his career so far...

That's pretty much it. The 'homologation' rule is that there are 300 road bikes sold of the type being raced. Carl Fogarty ran a team for 3-4 years sponsored by Petronas. They created a bike from scratch, sadly a triple which never really competed. The story was that they didn't even make more...

MotoGP: 800cc fourstroke prototype machines that have as much connection to road bikes as F1 cars do to road cars. It's where the new stuff is developed like ABS brakes, (and just braking through to road bikes, traction control). It's also where the best racers in the world hang out. As far as...
