Courtesy of MotoGP.com MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi had the opportunity to display his sheer speed on four-wheels in last weekend’s Monza Rally Show in Italy, as he teamed-up with Carlo Cassina to compete on a Subaru Impreza WRC prepared by Prodrive. The Doctor took second overall in the main event, as he was beaten by just 5.6s by Italian veteran Dindo Capello, but he shone in the final showdown which saw the drivers going head-to-head on a 1,500m gymkhana set in the main straight of the Monza circuit. Valentino Rossi has successively beaten Felice Re and Rinaldo Capello to qualify for the finale, which saw him face former WRC Champion Colin McRae…

Hey guys, does anyone know if car insurance companies will except no claims earned on a motorcycle? I've heard that some place will allow it but can't remeber the source. It only seems fair as you are more likely to have an accident on a bike. Cheers Robbie

Good morning guys, It was the first time I had luggage on the back of my bike yesterday, I strapped a Holdall bag to the back seat as I was going to football after work. When I was getting off the bike, I nearly dropped my baby as my leg got caught when getting off. The bike was banked over like over 50 degrees and I thought it was gunna drop! Proper caked myself but luckily, I managed to hold it up! It's amazing how much grip (Even in the wet as it was raining) the tires have when banked over that much at stand still! I guess I should have put the stand down before getting off, but the DAS course which I was only on about 3-4 weeks ago teach you to always …

Need help Any of you R6 owners experienced problems maintaining a constant speed,eg 60mph ? My bike seems to spike/surge when i try to, it seems to me as if its missing but have just had a service and the bike dealer said its common with the R6. The bike is very smooth when accelerating but maintaing a constant is impossible without power surges, any suggestions would be f*@king brilliant!!!

not a bad race in the end! for saying donington is quite a slow track with barely any places to have the bike flat out. Rossi managed a very good 2nd place. but i have to say DANI PEDROSA what a guy!! set the lap record many times and at one point had a 6.8 second lead over the person in second!! Incredible. i can only find one fault with the man, and thats the fact that he doesn't f**king well smile!!!! you just won a race by miles, smile!! Rossi comes into the winners paddock thing and does a burnout resulting in a dohnut!! hahaha!! then says to suzzy perry (sexy presenter for us britts!) when asked "was it a good race?" he replies "fuck yeah!". opps! npo swear bleeper …

Yuck......!!! Can Cold Water Clean Dishes? This is for all the germ conscious folks that worry about using cold water to clean. John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Georgia. After spending a great evening chatting the night away, John's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather asking, "Are these plates clean?" His grandfather replied, "They're as clean as cold water can get them. Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!" For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates as his appea…
