Yeeeah, I'm not sure how much of a difference this will make to AB's clear and distinct advantage over everyone else, considering CD's clear lack of it. Yes yes different settings etc etc but same motor. Same track. 9 races. On. The. Trot. All with very large gaps between him and whoever comes 2nd. He fits that bike like a glove. And it shows.

Has one of my favourite tunes in it's soundtrack. https://youtu.be/-DSVDcw6iW8

Maaaaybe?

Same.

Me, at Donington Park on a pissy day. Was excellent hearing all those bikes starting up. Oh and wsbk as well. Brands hatch I think that was at.

I'm gonna say it's between Rossi, MM & Dovi.

Just watched The Mule. Yes, I'm off with a bit of a bug. Excellent. Clint Eastwood does it again. Great cast, good story, great editing and doesn't try too hard.

Can't remember what the last movie I saw at the drive in was, but I know I used to go pretty often until it closed in Durban. Regular drives out in my mate's old Rover with our ladies. Good fun!

Like the Labia Theatre, but more posh... Great to see these gems being used, still.

Yeah, certainly was! Saw it a while ago but will give it another watch.

???????????????????? Shredding the gnar, eh?

Need to change your privacy settings, man!

yeah, that's another possibility.

I'd love to be able to say the same, but I was very much a North Beach & Bay dude, with a bit of Wedge thrown in for "fun". The Kei stuff & the trip must have been idyllic.

yeeeah, CR is a great place. But it can school you properly.

air in the system

This. Faaaark, THAT. Cursed, dastardly hand/.

Personally, I'd prefer it if they left maintenance for this winter and let the trails get a bit more raw.

Isn't this just a Husky in drag?

Yeah, very different. Need to watch it again, but I wasn't over-awed by it the first time I saw it. Maybe it's 'cos I was expecting something completely different...

I seem to remember that the incidence of injuries since gloves were brought in has increased significantly, cos boxers can now punch harder and at the head without hurting as much. Bare knuckle, as crazy as it sounds, is actually the more civilized (and safer) version. "Since the bones in a man's head are stronger than the bones in a man's fists, a bare-knuckle fighter risks damaging himself more than his opponent if he hits as hard as he can when he aims punches at the head. ... But a return to bare knuckles, or even mitts, would make the sport safer than it is with boxing gloves" https://www.economist.com/international/2015/01/15/hang-up-the-boxing-gloves

XCO = lap based racing with some very technical climbs and descents. XCM = point to point / multi day events with not nearly as much technicality.

Surfing is excellent for core work! And shoulders. Really need to get back on a bodyboard soon.

Anyone who says spinning doesn't count for fitness / whatever is smoking some really good stuff, and I want some. ????
