Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Focus on the positives Rossgo.

We all have emotions and occasional red mist moments. Not great but it happens so don't beat yourself up. Learn from it and move on focusing on the postive comments and clear improvements you Know you have made in the last year.

Re: Malaysian MotoGP Sepang (spoilers)

There were a lot of rumours that Rossi would retire if he won the Championship this year. Maybe its time to leave. Not sure the antics of the last few days really have a place in racing. That said i'm not sure if its quite as conclusive that he nerfs Marquez off. ...

Re: FAO Duke

Cheers, Blade.

I did manage to get some even cheaper ones on ebay to test them out and see what they are like.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

I think the helmet I was using before this year had pin lock visors... and inserts... this one was a cheap, quick buy to replace one I broke... how can I tell if it will take a pin lock visor? Its a Shark Nasty if that helps!

... can get a pin lock. The other thing you could try is cleaning up the inside of the visor with washing up liquid. I'm sure done of the other all year riders will come up with other suggestions.

I wouldn't wait too long D6. They're busy this time of year so you need to get in quick. Give Andy a call or an email.

... the 1000cc bike for a few grand more. I suspect the days of 600cc supersport are numbered and wonder how many will be discontinued this time next year when Euro 4 comes in. The money and research seems to be going into 500--650cc parallel twins with the Japanese now.
