They're getting near the end of their life cycle. I reckon I've got no more than 1,000 miles on them. I've done over 3,000 which is pretty good.

... on your toes. Day one Mick and myself did put the wets on for the early sessions, which was good fun. Day two we waited as long as we could before getting out on the drying track, I made the most of my time on track for sure, some serious amount of laps put in. I have no idea of what I was doing ...

Cheers Kwacky wasn't sure tbh but seems to be getting some positive comments.

Dragging on and getting boring now. It's bike racing not politics. Go to Valencia, race motorbikes. The guy with the most points at the end is world champion. Simple as that for me now. Race direction have made a decision. People ...

Race direction have made a decision. People need to accept it and move on now imo.

Yeah blade sees what I'm getting at, basically a full standard set up with good brake fluid and well looked after brakes and braided lines are brilliant! I suppose what I'm saying is. If you set your levers correctly for the tendons in ...

I ended up sparring with my instructor last night.

Pulling an aikido move trapping his leg and spinning him around didn't go down too well.

Fook me is that bloke fast. He was getting in 2 or 3 kicks before I realised what was going on and deciding whether I should block or defend.

... drivers are just over cooking the corners! It really shows how easily it can be to get these wrong! Scary really it's not like there's any sheep getting in the way, or pedestrians or broken down vehicles...bar the ones who crash!

... Products. I used to ride all year round having started my biking life on a Piaggio Zip 50 4T, Aprilia SX125 and then a Suzuki SV650S K3 before getting my Kawasaki ZX6R the day after my 18th birthday - all funded by my own bank account! I've done 3 trackdays on 28,000mile ZX6R: Pembrey twice ...

Getting used to riding in the dark again.

I don't see a problem with that. If its something that does actually work then it's just helping on how stable the bikes are at speed and really does show how far teams take it to be the best! Couldn't see that ever getting into road bikes we will never need that sort of stability while on the road!

You can imagine the abuse he's getting on Twitter

I'm struggling to see the benefits.

I don't think i would cope very well with it not getting light til about 9.30am in the middle of winter.

Marquez is getting a lot of flack, but people are forgetting that MM watched Rossi racing and got a lot of his style from him, Rossi has in the past done what MM did today and called it racing, and that only Rossi broke the rules today.

So will be out at Cadwell soon so really looking forward to getting out there!!

... or if I was just over thinking and trying to push an overtake past someone who was constantly slowing down and speeding up which was increasingly getting me niffed off!! He noticed and he even felt that I was getting miffed off with these guys, but he said that I should of Sat back from them and ...

Why the hell should he help Rossi
it was funny Rossi out qualifying jlo when jlo thought he was on the front row
I think the biggest allies to Rossi in the next two races will be the Hondas getting in lorenzos way

The commentators were saying that Iannone has been getting loads of abuse from the Italian press for not helping Rossi.
