  1. If Ducati don't win the title next year then they should look at getting Casey back on the grid perhaps.......
  2. You see the video of Seb joking with his engineer about touching wings. Classic!!!!
  3. Don't think the difference in viewership will be as great as many seem to believe. MotoGP is bigger than just a single rider. I am not a fan at all, but it was a tasteful send off.
  4. So its a 50k euro fine for touching a wing, but only a 5K euro fine for operating a moving vehicle without the safety belt on which is an actual safety matter. Seems like it makes perfect sense.........
  5. Think they are on the back foot regardless. Perhaps use Bottas up front to try and slow the pace to allow Lewis to catch up. Lets see how it goes.....
  6. You guys are assuming anyone would want to steal a Harley though....... Hairy is safe I reckon, maybe add tassles for even more cringe factor. P.S: all of the above is in Comic Sans.
  7. Look, my own hypocrisy is not lost on me because it is similar to the Marquez/Rossi Sepang 2015 situation. There I was fully behind Marc. I hear you on this being his crash incident but he has been involved in others that haven't necessarily ended with a rider on the floor. Also, practice and quali do count and speak to a riders overall etiquette towards his competitors, so those sanctions do have a bearing. At the end of the day opinions differ, I see your view, mine is just different. His promotion into MotoGP, how it was attained, etc. does factor into mine. I suppose next year will tell a tale. I do not wish ill or bad luck, my personal opinion is that I think it is undeserved and too soon a move given his portfolio to date. I also hope that he does not injure himself or anyone else while trying to prove he belongs in the big time next year. That's it, last for me on the subject. One more race then it is a long stretch till 2022. I see Marc is ruled out of the final race and the IRTA test following it. Bad news for Honda but also maybe a blessing as he won't have much input on the development, he could ride a shopping cart anyway........
  8. I think the criticism Darryn is getting is warranted though. Yes this particular incident was more about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but damn, he seems to have a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He needs to work on his race craft, he has the pace but in close quarter racing he is not that good given the evidence of these sorts of incidents. He will be on a dog slow Yamaha next year and out to prove a point as he most likely will only have the one year. It's a recipe for disaster IMO. Also when you know that it is the 2 title contenders ahead, surely you are a bit more cautious? Added: Lorenzo was banned for a few races in the 250cc class and he has openly said he needed it, to help him settle down. Same as his first year in MotoGP, he absolutely wrecked himself over-riding and had to have a good think which made him the smooth rider that won multiple titles. I just don't think Darryn has the luxury of time. Will need to hit the ground running!!!!
  9. Jip, Bottas has nothing to lose now. Hoping Russel is more of a Rosberg than a Bottas.
  10. Size XXXL? Might need a beefier fork.
  11. Very nice Patches. DO NOT google patterned plywood btw.......... Had a similar need for a 10deg cut on a dresser's legs recently. Was done with a pencil, carpenter square and jigsaw. We make do with what we have......... Did need more sanding than yours I imagine though!!
  12. That's amazing, getting out into nature, spending time with loved ones. That's what life is all about. Enjoy Cois.....
  13. I bought a decent belt sander from CC about 2 months ago. The time it has saved me on hand sanding has paid for it at the very least. It was a bused and so is not perfect, frustrating at times when the belt comes off but it was really dirt cheap...... I have bought other items. For example a Kindle Paperwhite for R400 as they just didn't know what it was and so priced it wrong. Friend also bought a Bosch didtal bluetooth tape measure for R49, again, not knowing what the product is or sells for. Then other times I have seen items priced more than they go for new, so you need to know what you are looking at too.
  14. Read on an MP's FB page just yesterday that they are talking about vouchers, to allow people to have slots over December to leave Auckland. I would not expect the lockdown to be going anywhere anytime soon. Unfortunately.
  15. V1 Insurgent? Very nice paintwork btw, wonder what that cost to get done?

  17. Thank all, happy to play the game just want to know the rules up front????
  18. Yeah, your shins will thank you for that later..... Very nice work. I know you were complaining about lumber shortages, is that sorted now? How much material wastage is there on something like that?
  19. Hi all, sorry if this is a silly question but when getting rewarded for healthy shopping do you get penalized for unhealthy items in a basket. So, should I keep the healthy and unhealthy foods separated and do 2 separate teller transactions? Would 1 slab of chocolate make an otherwise healthy basket null and void? Also can savings on flights only be used when the main member is the traveler. In other words, you can not use your discount to book flights for a 3rd party family member?
  20. People are not born to judge or hate, it is hereditary. The cycle ends in the home......
  21. Not big enough for their community.....
  22. When you mix sport and politics this happens.
  23. That is an answer in itself I would say......
  24. Well, he is good mates with Cal........ How was that crash by Raul Fernandez!!!
