Bloody hell that second aprillia's gonna need some seats and a sidecar

talking of a service did you want yours doing ? still trying to find a manual for yours to see how big a service it is and not getting much luck!! Nah not this time cheers will get them to do it, but will try sort some manuals and stuff ready for next year be warned Cos wont be as big a job in future!

Rather you than me!

I push mine in forward, but mines in the middle of the garage not to one side, sit on it to reverse it out but its a wide area so leave it 90 degrees to the garage and ride away from there, would be way more hassle to back it in!

Bandit or cbr cant believe your even asking this question unless its an old cbr and a new bandit! Get the cbr as you already said it seems to be the one you want, oh and just to reinforce the issue if your dad says bandit you deffo get the cbr..you wouldnt take fashion advice from your dad would you

It would be great to see him on the aprillia, another brit in superbikes

Still think Rossi will decide to retire after surpassing ago's record If he thinks its a feasible target in the next couple of years..and he's enjoying the racing! He's always been one to enjoy the battles..theres nothing sad about his achievements this year in fact this could be regarded as his best championship cos he has a real challenger on the same bike for the first time in his moto gp career. Oh and he wont go near a ducati, he's already stated he wants to be remembered as a yamaha rider. One question is how will yamaha go on after he retires and stops developing the bike..wil Lorenzo be able to continue that?

Back up to 4th..third may be a possibility!

I think what threw a spanner in the works was the fact that it was foggy and cold for morning warm up and burgess rossi didnt have the opprtunity to try any changes, rossi knew on sat he had rear grip issues!! Oh and sonny jim says lorenzo doesnt have to beat rossi in all three races One dnf culd give either of them the title!

Err how many rounds ago did Rossi have a 50 point lead and now theres stoner back to take points off him, it is a big ask still cos you cannot count out Rossi winning another race but not that improbable! Rossi would like to win the title before valencia!

Or in joshrs's case 6 times

Jorge Lorenzo - Position: 1stTime: 45'35.522 "What a day! I'm so happy to win here again in the same track where I won my first MotoGP race last year. I worked so hard in the break on my fitness with my father and maybe that's given me a little bit of extra speed, I certainly felt so strong this weekend and it is great to win like this after being top in every session as well. I got a good start and it took me just a couple of corners to get past Dani and take the lead, but I honestly didn't expect to be unchallenged from then on or to finish with such a big gap. This is a good track for me but I am fast more or less everywhere now. The championship is closer now; it's still not easy but we have nothing to lose! I'm proud that we have won the Team Title and I want to say thanks and congratulations to everyone. I liked my leathers and helmet a lot this weekend and I wanted to celebrate Neil Armstong and his landing on the moon so this is why I made this 'moonwalk show' after the race!" Valentino Rossi Valentino Rossi - Position: 4thTime: +23.428 "It was a very difficult race for me. I was never able to be fast because I did not have enough grip in the rear and our tyre did not work well, but I think it was more a problem of setting. After a few laps I was in great difficulties and I immediately understood that this was not going to be "our" race. Throughout the practice sessions I had some problems but I thought that today I would be able to at least stay with Stoner and Pedrosa, but they made another step forward for the race and then there was no chance for me. On Friday I was three tenths off the pace and unfortunately this stayed the same all weekend and in the race today. Here in Estoril we struggled last year as well, so it might be that, with our setting, the rear tyre gets very hot and this causes a lack of grip. It is a pity that I am off the podium, but we have three more races and they are three great tracks. We must think race by race and we must work to understand what the problem was today in order to make sure that we fix it in time for Phillip Island". From yamaha racing!

Unlucky better luck next time, I would agree no real need for the back brake!!

Well I predict Rossi will eventually retire and Lorenzo wil take over where Rossi left off! But Lorenzo will (if not this year) win the championship next year!

Yep the yam could break down as well! The gp was a little spaced out but the speeds lorenzo was doing was mind blowing...he can so easily become world champ this year! looking forward to seeing what Rossis excuse was!!

Yeah you can do a cbt and a full test day after if you so wanted!( as long as you have passed your theory test) Which wouldmean you can take a pillion and ride wothout L plates As for cost just ring round!

I think Haga will now win, bens pies might take a win but think the 10 points maybe too much without accidents!

Just put in the miles...nuff said!

Tried some arlen ness ones like wearing concrete wellies wouldnt have been able to ride with them...bought some spada ones in the end really comfatable but think the metal foot peg has taken its toll! And if i was into the colour match thing it would be red and black

Thats not good the boots I have now the soles gone through so know how long they last.....though its the milage not the time!

trade in sorry cant be much more of a help!

Exactly!!!

Nope I refuse to pay more than £100 for a helmet, and I dont care that its a bloody arai!

I would be quite hopeful of finding a helmet at a reasonable price!

No way black boots only...as with most gear they also look better when I have them under my jeans!!
