He better start taking it soon then Stoner is 24 pts ahead already lol

But Will, look at last year when Hayden was 43 points clear and it had to go down tothe last race of the season at Valencia. If it wasn't for Rossi coming off there is no way Nicky would have took the title. As Valentino said though, that's racing. He isn't the world's best ever for nothing and personally I think when Jorge Lorenzo comes up from 250s next year, he will definately stir the sh!t up

Dude I feel for you Tell you what I will have a beer or seven for you when I get to my room, you can't say fairer than that!!! Gonna be staying at the Days Inn place on Sunday night if anyone else is gonna be there and fancies a beer, no paintball sh!t though. Bikes only this weekend.

Bikes should be kept on the track only.

I know of too many horror stories to get on a road bike. It does not matter how good you are on a bike, if a lorry is coming round that country lane on the wrong side of the road, nobody can avoid it.

You are placing your life in other road users hands.

In that case, so should performance cars. Not flaming you mate, but freedom of choice rules and NOBODY has the right to take that away from you.

A Little off topic.

but I'm looking to take my Bike test next year, already on a CBT, but f*cking bored.

Any suggestions onto what bike i should ride? I've looked at a few RS125's, but they sound awful, and are maintenance hell, but are cheapish, and a lot of fun.

on my CBT, when 17, i can ride 12BHP aint it? but if you take your test it's 33BHP for 2 years.... so i fancy getting a 400-600 and restricting it down. i want a racing bike, been looking at the R6's....but really not sure

i want something cheapish, reliable and fun....(and a little bit sexy)


all advice/help is appreciated.

Don't get me wrong buddy. Its your choice to ride a bike and good luck to you. I used to do motorcross when I was a nipper and loved it.

Having witnessed a guy bleed to death from a head wound in Spain about 5 years ago after being knocked off his moped by some loopy teenage driver I made a decision / promise to the parents not to ride on the road. My dad also lost a close friend who slid under an arctic and decapitated himself (The guy that was riding behind him had years of councelling and has not rode since due to what he saw)

It is a free country. The point that I am making is you are not taking your life in your own hands. You are putting it in the hands of the 87 year old half blind and arthritic pensioner or Corsa driving yob.

I thought there might have been something personal in your posting mate, that's why I didn't rip into you, and my heart goes out to anyone who has to witness a bike accident or anyone who has lost anyone on a bike.

this has gone a bit off topic but bikes are very cool and look the muttz nuttz. as for the horror stories tho. only 4 weeks back a friend of our family was on his way to my house to go to work with my dad and bro when a car pulled out on him, he managed to swerve round the car just to go underneath an oncoming van. almost died on scene through bloodloss and now has lost a leg. at the time he fractured most of the bones in the top half of his body and punctured both lungs. just outta hospital but f**kd for life tbh. he had been riding bikes for about 35 years. its not down to experience on your behalf, it comes down to the person in the car, van, lorry not seeing you in time

has put me off for life but i can see the draw towards bikes. pitty so many accidents happen.
