FFS guys more people in the UK have died riding motorbikes than killed by terrorists this year, much more. I've not checked the stats but I'd bet a fiver more people have been killed by London Cabbies than UK deaths due to terrorism in the last 10 years.

Many happy returns Kiwi, I hope your coming year brings you more fun & less grief mate.

Should make the shoot out in the litre bike category interesting next year. Wonder if/when the 750 will get the treatment to compete with the 959. The middleweight category is a bit bare.

Someone in Wales pointed me towards the example of Valleywood, a project for film studios built at great expense near Cardiff in 2007, which went bust just 1 year later and has been mothballed ever since.

Its a great idea in completely the wrong place.

... clear. I don't even want to talk about if they don't as I'm pretty worried tbh. With you there buddy, I've had a few nights in hospital with my 3 year old over the last few months it's fecking terrifying! Hope everything is ok

2017 is 25th anniversary of the Fireblade and the year they have told Hayden he will get an all new bike to campaign wsbk.

I'm just hoping Honda rock up to the party like they did in 92 with a complete game changer and move everything on amother level.

... Sea. The kids are giving me the Bose headphones I bought online once I get back home and I doubt I'll be getting a present from their mother this year (shake) I'm not big on pressies anyways, I prefer to 'do' something rather than 'get' something. A cool day out with the kids is what I'm really ...

Amen to that.

I hope your family find some peace and decent family time over the Christmas holidays, Kwacky and that 2016 proves to be a far better year for you all.

... to slow cook (y) Just watched that rubbish on fast forward, it was still boring. They have ruined one of my favourite sports over the past 5 - 10 years. Awful parade frankly. Sad. Totally agree Cookie. I resigned to getting pi $$ed and surfing the internet whilst waiting for my dinner. The f1 ...

That's true of most things,.

I might try and blag a test drive next year when I have some time. The charging points are spreading and you can charge 80% of the car in about 25 mins I think?

I want a 750 as a track bike in a year or two.

Unless I've got it wrong I thought Stoner was leaving at the end of the year. Or highly likely he is, in a potential move to Ducati.

... are being asked within HRC management at the moment. Not only does it sound like they will be loosing the worlds best test rider at the end of the year but also if they had followed Casey's feedback earlier who knows Honda may have had a world champion in Marc or Dani this year.
