Love how he nearly gets hit by his bike then just gets up and runs off.. thankfully he wasn't injured but that could have been nasty !!

In that picture, is that guy painting the whole circuit with that little roller? That'll take some time.

What the hell Michelin have been great to me. I've had no problems with using them. My pilot powers have coped with loads of different weathers and the front has had minimum 8K miles (originally I thought 7k but upon looking at service book turns out minim 8k (8k just with me I might add)

It's the internet, everyone seems determined to show their stupidity by trying to prove they're an expert.
