    My wife & I saw a similar exhibition like this once......with a Father & Son duo riding XR100's. If the riders get close enough to each other during this routine, the globe starts to shake like a washing machine outta balance during the spin cycle! Globe of Death

    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?

  3. ...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…

Got to work & found out I had just rode through an EARTHQUAKE @ 3-digit speeds!
