Brno MotoGP
Flying out tomorrow with the missus - can't wait to see Stoner wrap the season up on Sunday!
I'll post some new pics next week! Here's one from last year!
Check out the state of their front tyres!
Capirossi won it last year, on a Brigestone shod Ducati! It was a bit of a walkover so hopefully there'll be more of fight this year - whatever its a great track with great views. Anyone got any tips how to blag your way in to the pitlane without paying through the nose?

You better get that K12s soon or you'll never keep up with Roger on his new VFR1000 that's on order !

It's not how fast you ride, it's how you ride fast.
Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear
bright until you hear them speak.

Blagging on to pit lane
You could act a little bit camp and tell them your one of "Vales special friends" "Titter ye not" is he then??
Fiat Panda.
Fiat Scudo (with speedblock, pipe carrier, reversing sensors, reversing camera, tow bar, some new rust and Fake Plumber logo)
started out with nothing, still have most of it left.

That's the problem with Honda - they have the knack of producing some engineering marvels yet f*ck a bike up by trying to over-complicate things. V-tec is a good case in point - it's a cure to a problem that wasn't there, and doesn't cure it anyway, the end resultit makes a good bike worse. As I and others have been saying for years; all they needed to do was punch the motor out to 900-1000cc or so, lose the silly valve system and go back to gear-driven cams.
Linked brakes? I was a total cynic where these were concerned but now, having got used to them (in fact I hardly noticed them to start with) they're brilliant. Totally fuss-free braking - don't even bother using the 'rear' brake pedal, no need to, so well balanced the brakes are by just using the 'front'.
A VFR1000 is quite an exciting prospect - all it needs is the V-tec junking, the geared cams re-inserting, and belt drive. Oh...and can we have the RC30/45 firing pattern too so it doesn't sound like a CB500 with a duff plug lead?

Big H's problem has beening marketing,other manafactures have have gone to bigger motors,H couldn't do that as it would have taken it too close to the Blackturd,hence the V-tec crap,sales have taken such a hammering they've had to do summat,so i guess after the VFR the'll be a big banger to replace the other heap of junk.
Linked brakes!! not even worth takeing space up on this board talking about e'm.
