Ok not today, but last Friday. 145k's with Adam Hansen up Jebel Jais. Lucky it was his "recovery" ride as he had ridden the Jebel 5 times the day before.

Oh no Brad. Moto2 Testing Takes Heavy Toll: Binder Breaks Arm, Navarro Dislocates ShoulderSubmitted by David Emmett on Mon, 2016-11-21 23:27 The Moto2 test at Valencia has taken a heavy toll on some of its participants. The rookies Brad Binder and Jorge Navarro both picked up serious injuries at the test, putting an end to their preseason testing for the winter. Binder was the most seriously injured. The reigning Moto3 champion highsided his KTM Moto2 bike at Turn 11, the bike apparently landing on his right arm and fracturing the radius, as well as damaging bones in his wrist. The South African was taken to the Dexeus Institut in Barcelona where he was examined and had a pin inserted in the broken bone. Navarro was marginally luckier than Binder. The Spaniard, riding for the Gresini Moto2 team, dislocated his shoulder while braking for Turn 8, and ran off into the gravel. The dislocation was severe enough for Navarro to abandon the test altogether, deciding to skip the second day of the test scheduled for Tuesday. Navarro's dislocated shoulder is a recurrence of a persistent problem. The Spaniard has therefore elected to have surgery in the hope of providing a long term solution to the problem. There is a silver lining to the black cloud which hovers over Navarro and Binder. They both picked up their injuries right shortly before the start of the winter testing ban. They will have a little over two months to recover from their injuries before testing starts again. They will have missed very little testing in the intervening period.

So when my Boet arranges a loan bike for me in Dubai, and the chap says sure come pick up my old Cannondale..... And well, you end up on this dear Beaut!!!

That section, we were lucky.... others not so lucky.

And ONLY Bicycles allowed on this cycle path.

FML, don't remind me, was like The Bokke on Saturday, VERY disappointing.

Everyone give me a HELL YEAH!!!! No more wings on MotoGP Bikes!!!!

Why that Moto3 race was not red flagged I have no idea.

Well Done MM, not my favourite, must be that red bike, spit... Well done.

Believe it or not, me too.

No going to lie, had a tear in my eye. BRAD WHAT A BOYKIE!!!!!

Sorry wrong Thread.

My Dad was his mechanic that year he won......

Just pick up Lorenzo's dummy and put it back in for him please...

This thread seems to have a bit of an omen about it, every time some post here that a certain rider is battling with something, they go out and win that weekend. Great ride by DP, think I even saw him smile a bit.

Bradley you Biscuit!!! snip snip snip.... South African now an almost-unbelievable 106 points clear at the top of the standings – meaning the title is within reach at MotorLand Aragon. Read some where he just needs to finish one place behind Bastianini.

You are correct, but this is the original Wife Beater... makes Stella look amateur.

Can now buy the original wife beater here in SA!!!! Found it at Liquor City.

My Brother in Law bought these back from Japan... Delicious!!!

Brad you Boykie!!! His championship to lose now, what great teamwork for him. Recon Bo cracked an invite for a braai at the Binder household.

Great ride AGAIN Cal!!!

Crack open the beers!!! I'll join you.
