Donny is not ideal for me and I guess it will be impossible to please everyone. See what comes up next year and take it from there. It was just an idea as would be good to get a group of us on track together.

Blade, I use a light tint most of the year. You'll be surprised how well it works, especially with the drop down sun visor.

... vote for the bike they own. I've looked at a few times from Club racing and Thundersport and I have considered racing - only issue is, being a 21 year old apprentice I don't have very much money so I can't even afford a race bike at the minute let alone the cost of race meetings. If I can get ...

Re: Malaysian MotoGP Sepang (spoilers)

Can't remeber the exact year but I think it was 2004 from memory. Rossi was penalised and told to start the Qatar race from the back of the grid as a penalty for his team cleaning his grid spot. He crashed charging through the field. ...

Ooh that is off putting and I was starting to really think seriously about ordering the Lorenzo rep.

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.
