....Wish I coulda seen this thing test, as it seems it already has, right in my own back yard (so 2 speak) ....... A sneak peak of the MotoCzysz C-1, the American MotoGP project led by the renowned architect and passionate racer Michael Czysz. The C-1 prototype features many innovative solutions like the 6X Flex fork, the 6X coaxial steering front suspension, a dual clutch system and the groundbreaking counter-revolution engine, which nearly eliminates gyroscopic and torque forces. The prototype already hit the track twice, at the Portland International Raceway and the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The development of the bike is still in its early days, …

A guy goes into a bar and asks the barman for a bottle of his best champagne and a double whisky. ''Are you celebrating? asks the barman ''I've just had my first blowjob'' was the reply. ''So whats the whisky for?'' enquires the barman. ''To take the taste away!''

.....to actually ride a Harley (well, Harley powered anyway) bike, after riding primarily Yams for 20 years. Went out for a ride last night over to a Harley-riding buddy of mine's place. He let me have a go on his recently bought Buell S1 Lighnting. Definitely NOT a stocker either.....120bhp, 108 ft./lbs. of torque.......got a cerami-coated header with a V&H can......42mm flat-slide Mikuni......& the whole package only weighs about 425lbs. What a burley sounding Beast this is too......Very Addicting!!! A bit like a Big-Block Vette.....lightweight with LOADS of Grunt! I want one!!!

A number of Primary Schools were doing a project on ''The Sea''. Kids were asked to draw pictures or write about their experiences. Teachers got together to compare the results and put together some of the comments that were funny. The kids were all aged between 5 and 8 years. This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testacles. (Kelly aged 6) Oysters balls are called pearls. (James aged 6) If you are surrounded by sea you are an island. If you don't have sea all round you, you are in continent. (Wayne aged 7) I thinks sharks are ugly and mean and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend no more. (Kylie aged 6) …

Attack MX will DQ winner and give grand prize to runner-up By Davey Coombs Racer X broke the story yesterday that David Snow, the winner of the $40,000 Ford F-350 pickup truck in the first-ever Attack MX race in Arizona, was actually Alex Snow, a pro-caliber rider from Great Britain who entered the 125cc Novice class for this high-profile race. A positive ID was made of Alex Snow by several readers in England when a photo of the Attack MX winner by Bobby Myers was posted on our website. Now, after following up with the information and speaking with several parties—including the Snow family back in England and their hosts, the Chatfields in Texas—Attack MX has …

........that's using a Kwak logo as his avatar on another forum then? You don't see me flying the Gay Honda flag do you? Very bad show for someone in his position I think!

I've added two new custom profile fields into the software, whereby you can fly your country's flag under your details, as mine is now doing. And you can also list your bikes as well! All you need to do is: Go to My Controls on the top taskbar. Personal Profile info in the LH Menu. Edit Profile info. Choose your country from the dropdown menu at the top of the page. Enter your bikes in the relevant field at the bottom of the page. Click Amend My Profile. And that's it....you're flying your country's flag and showing your bikes!

Former 500cc World Champions Wayne Rainey, Eddie Lawson and Kevin Schwantz were joined by with three-time U.S. Superbike champion Doug Chandler at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on Thursday in preparation for the Superstars of Super Karts race, one of the support events at the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix in July. While Rainey and Lawson have raced Super Karts several times on the 2.238-mile, 11-turn road course in the hills outside Monterey, it was the first time Schwantz and Chandler had driven the high-performance karts anywhere. "I've been trying to get these guys (Schwantz and Chandler) into a Super Kart for a while," said Rainey, who lives in Monterey. "I think th…

Haga returns to Yamaha for 2005 10/1/2005 Yamaha has signed popular Japanese rider Noriyuki Haga to complete its line-up for the 2005 Superbike World Championship season. Haga will race a YZF-R1 for the Milan-based Yamaha Motor Italia team, reuniting him with the brand on which he made his name in the late Nineties. The Japanese ace was a Yamaha rider between 1994 and 2001 and during this period he won 11 world superbike races, taking a best championship finish of second in the 2000 season, Yamaha's last year of official participation in the series. Last year Noriyuki rode a privately-entered Ducati to six wins and third in the series, a re…

....with the Dunlops @ the tire tests this week @ Daytona....... where he recorded a 194+ mph trap speed on the back straight yesterday. It ought to be interesting to see how he fairs with the AMA regulars this season.

.....written by Ago himself 8) .......Probably take forever & a year before I see it over here :roll:

Anyone here on some of the Jap sites, particularly the stroker stuff.... Quality comments all round, some sound familiar....

Since he bought that KLR he's been like Lord Lucan. Not on a RTW trip is he? What about his Doohickey though?

Take care in 2005....and keep supporting YamahaClub!
