Ready? GO!!! (scroll down) First Question: Y ou are participating in a race You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

    Since I just landed a new job starting on my lad's birthday next Tuesday... Decided to celebrate him turning 9 a little early ..... He was stoked about getting a proper bike......just got to face a bit of a vertical learning curve in coming to grips with the Clutch I figure by my birthday in June, he'll be ready to head over to Central Oregon with me & tear up my brother's 10 acre spread. After scrambling to fix an oil leak (bad clutch cover gasket) only an hour before I gave it to him ......I had a go on it just up the street......& I gotta say......the little beast goes pretty well for an 80cc Thump! ......can really feel the effect of…

    ....For Nori Haga as he claimed (2) 2nd place finishes while mixing it up with Bayliss in BOTH races @ Silverstone this last weekend ...... The 1st 6-8 laps of race 2 were superb with Chris Walker in that mix as well......going 3 abreast into a few of those bends! And Hats Off to this chap for cinching Pole position @ his 1st WSB event as a Wildcard entry .....

    For all you poor bastards still languishing in Blair's Brave New World, here's a trip I took yesterday. It'll cheer you up! From Huescar in Granada to Urra in Almeria! For the thickos amongst you....that's in Spain! It was a 250 mile round trip in great weather! :cool: I headed south from Huescar to Cullar and then picked up the A92 motorway for about 20 miles. Turn off at Chrivel....and that's when it gets interesting. It's a 40 mile run through the mountains to Albox, but as usual when you get off the major roads, the surfaces turn to crap and it gets very narrow. The Beemer takes it all in it's stride though.... The roa…

    Awesome to see Norick Abe finish 4th in both WSB races last weekend @ Valencia....especially ahead of Haga who fancy's the Ricardo Tormo track alot. I remember when he 1st broke into the Big League's with his sterling effort against the likes of Rainey & Schwantz @ the Japanese GP @ Suzuka back in the early 90's......as a Wildcard rider. It never seems like this guy got discouraged with less than desirable results the last few years....... Maybe all his hard work & determination is finally starting to pay-off?

  9. ...But I love MotoCross Madness II! After recently uprgrading my PC to Windows XP Pro edition.....& getting a new Joystick controller, I decided it was about time I called in the services of a good friend of mine who's an avid PC gamer, to Reload MM2 for me........he's done the research & found loads of extra tracks, bikes & riders....so the version I know have blows away the outta the box version that anyone else could buy. And besides.....Where else can you Fly this High on 2-Wheels? ...... I'm thinkin' seriously now, of getting the MotoGP game for my PC as well.

    The YamaHead now has a bluddy H*nda in his collection! Just got through sorting this out for my little lad today..... Gotta stash it @ my folk's house on Monday as my lad's coming home from a 2 week vacation to Hawaii & California on Tuesday. This'll be his 9th Birthday pressie in May. This poor bike was rode hard & put away wet ......absolutely filthy!.....tore it down to the frame, cleaned everything.....then installed New Brakes, cables, chain & sprockets (still waiting for the primary). It's even got a aftermarket cam in it & had the flywheel lightened a bit.... I picked it up for only $400 & put another $100 …

    Nearly 2 years ago i had a bad accident. A kid playing chicken ran out in front of me. With no time to do anything i hit the kid who died the next day. For a very long time after the accident i couldn't get back on a bike, even though i new there was nothing i could have done. I wasn't speeding, but the police were'nt having that from day one they have tried to have me sent down for death by dang, but i have stood my ground. Last week i was back in court again for the 3rd day in a row, and the judge throw the case out. Now i can try and get on with riding again knowing that it wasn't my fault. But it will always be in the back of my mind.

    just bought the new issue of fast bikes. i read it beacuase it a goodf mag and they don't really concentrate on everything new they have some oldy stuff in as well. also they have write ups about the styaff bikes and there modifications each issue which gives you lots of ideas. anyway it has a 20 min long preview dvd of the Vertical Brits stunt crew. i think its really good and certainly spurs you on to get on your bike! but not necessarily with your front wheel in the air! but would still recomend the mag and the dvd!!! if anyone buys it i would like to know what the bike is that has a union jack painted on it, i think its a tzr 400 but im not sure.

    A while back i told you i had lost my car and bike licence due to to many points and been a muppet on the road. Recent (april 5th) i retook my car test (parants perswation they still aint keen on letting me on the bike yet ) and passed that quite easily. Then i went down the town drinking the other night using my full licence as id, and some way or another me and a mate were comparing, and he's got a 25kw restricted licence, but mine said id still got that licence as well, and i aint retaken no bike test, certainly since all my points were from the bike! i rang up the dvla and they confirmed i had a 33bhp licence? how the hell did i get it back without doing anything? lo…
