Hope everyone is ok. A couple of old friends enigrated to christchurch about 10 years ago. They're ok, but a couple who lived a few hundred yards from me emigrated there last year and their house has been destroyed. Must be a very scary thing to go through.

I enjoyed yasterdays race, although I have seen better. Another silly mistake by lorenzo spoiled what could have been a good finish. It was interesting to see the airbag suit in action. When lorenzo got up he looked like the incredible hulk. I have to wonder how long it would have taken him to get u...

That was a cracking race. I thought rossi had blown it when he lost the lead on that last lap. I can't wait to see how Lorenzo responds at the next race.

We get pretty good coverage here. I watched the race live with no ad breaks, and it was repeated later in the day for those who didn't get up early. coverage of the 125 & 250 races as well but i didn't see those. No wsbk coverage for us this year unless you pay. Its on satellite, but i believe you c...

I'd prefer to see fairing bashing and bikes sliding about all over the track, but I wouldn't label Motogp as boring. Some races can turn into a bit a a procession, (the ones where stoner wins spring to mind) but I'll watch them all the same. I'm not a huge fan of stoner but i'd be the first to admit...

And i would guess those are the same commentators who were ready to replace CE with Spies last year?
Theres another 16 rounds to go yet.

Not sure that race would be worth taping. Other than de angelis smashing into the side of pedro, and capi loosing the front there wasn't much to talk about.

Yes i know. I can't believe he came last. Still, theres another day to go yet.
I guess that highside at the last test destroyed more than just his bike.

Should be interesting for sure. Sounds like Tosland is putting himself under undue pressure. I'll bet he is last again. MotoGP Official Night Test at Losail, Qatar. Session 1. 1 Nicky Hayden USA 2:00.717 2 Marco Melandri ITA 2:00.867 3 Mika Kallio FIN 2:01.020 4 Alex De Angelis RSM 2:01.074 5 Nicco...

That looks like a very tidy bike indeed. The can seems to have been shortened somewhat. I have a micron carbon slip on as well but mine seems to be about 6" longer.

i wonder how Tosland feels when he sees a pic like that, and how Yamaha feel about a hand built, prototype bike being upside down with the rider 4 foot above it??? OUCH perhaps the reason he had such a big off was he was pushing to get up the time sheet?? I like the MCN web page, they have a good w...

Only 2 weeks until the next test at Losail. Lets see if CE can go 2.5 seconds a lap faster there. I'll stick my neck out now and say that he wont be able to. :)

Following the first round of Moto gp testing on spec tyers, who would have guest it Stoner, Rossi, Pedrosa................then a very close pack containing everyone except Tosland, who was 2.5 sec a lap slower than his team mate, oh dear!! Maybe thats because Toseland suffered a 125mph highside on ...

Just had a look through my pm's and I had a message from him as I had asked about his suspension. I've posted the reply below. This is from december 05 so the prices may have gone up a bit. Hi, reguarding suspension, I gave it to Nick, after a discussion of what was needed, I left it with him, he ca...
