It is absolute BS, the only justice is he has been declared fit so will serve that penalty when he arguably would have finished back of the field anyway. He should start the race and pull in after the first lap and call it quits, while giving the stewards the finger. Will be worth the fine, another shocker of a decision where Danilo gets a fine and Aleix doesn't even get a reprimand.

Same for me. Filed in July as we are emigrating as soon as the borders open. The audited and I sent everything right away. The assessed and I was paid this morning. I did have to make 2 calls though and after every call the case moved on. 1st call to ask why my assessment is late when everything is received, assessment was finished that day. 2nd call was to say I can see the assessment is complete but no outcome, that same day my case was completed and I get payment now 2 days later. They kept saying though that tax season, aside from auto assessment cases, only opens in September 2020. I at least have a valid reason for early submission.

They do not hold stock so as long as you don't need it within a week it is fine. They do seem to always meet the 5 to 10 day delivery, mostly closer to the 10 days though. Also check their pricing, they sometimes inflate the before price so it seems like a better deal than it actually is.

Too long......

I think they did though, in a way. Remember the Gp12.4, etc, etc. They had new frames almost every 2nd or 3rd race. Commentators were joking about it all the time. They also went from a carbon chassis to alloy twin spar which Casey had been telling them for years. They also did a lot to help Lorenzo. They even tried to paint the first alloy frame black to hide the change, but photo's were taken before they got the chance. It was a big egg on face moment as they said they would never change their philosophy. So it seems weird the way they decide on what feedback to pursue and what not.

If that doesn't show something is wrong then I don't know. Look at MotoGP, their rules allow for a much fairer playing field. 5 manufacturers, all able to win on a given Sunday. EVEN the satellite teams. F1 is broken, has been for some time now.

Gloves are off, seeing as Pol is leaving. Just like Vettel is being snubbed by Ferrari in his fianl year, if Pol continues he may be dropped to the Tech3 squad and Miguel will be moved up early. Would not want to see that but Pol needs to get his ish together now.

Very interesting podcast I listened to today coincidentally: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3AphYCflF6QSzHt0gPcrCd?si=DhWtoiG0TqSL5h7gB8MLXg It will explain a bit on why Honda is in this position perhaps. They build a bike to be ridden at 100%, always have really. Off topic but the way Nakamoto worked to create the RCV is incredible. Casey and Livio made his dream a reality and I think Casey is why Marc does well on the Honda, also why the Honda is a bike for an extraordinarily talented rider, ala Marc. Oh, and Neil Spalding is a bloody legend. Could listen to him all day. Wish his book wasn't so damn expensive. Really want it!!!!

Suppose you have to weigh up that approach with costs for the accounts. Banking costs quickly add up. That being said, Nedbank has money pockets which can be added to your cheque account with no fee's. They are for saving for certain goals. Could work nicely. Always found drawing cash helps. Swiping cards is so easy, you barely take note of item costs or how much you are actually spending. Various studies prove this, after swiping a card very few participants could tell what items cost or what the total spend was.

Think Pol needs to take a chill pill. A lot of his mental woe's, I think, are around his decision to go to Honda. When Marc is on the bike it gives the illusion of it being a bike that you can succeed on. With him off of it, it's showing what a pig of a bike it actually is. Brad outrode him in Brno, which led to his crash. Yesterday, he pushed, made a mistake and put himself in a position that led to the collision. Dude needs to go and do some introspection. The first win is gone, now he needs to knuckle down and beat his rookie teammate which looks unlikely.

Saw a post earlier, 46 + 12 = 58. Guess who was watching over them.......

And now elections delayed.......

Helicoil it, good to go again........

Insane races today with loads of racing incidents. Glad nobody was hurt......

To improve their superbike, oh, wait......

So just some feedback. Rook definitely cannot be faulted on their service. I noticed one of the small stainless bolts that secure the sliding drop-outs was a bit mangled. I queried this and was assisted with advise on how to remove this and they sent me a package with the replacement bolt. Complimentary stickers also received. I haven't been able to do much riding but if the bike holds up and performs as well as they service their customers, then I don't see any problems. Already found some flared bars which I will get fitted some time.

Wheelie induced oil starvation perhaps........ K-eeps T-aking M-oney

Yeah dude, no logic being used these days......

Should be a rare sight on our roads then. Crazy price for that bike!!!!

Those undulations are going to really catch a few guys out. Kind of hope the title fight, whoever is in it, will come down to that last round. Level playing field, new track, no data. Will be epic!!!!!

More cases and of unknown origin. Guess sticking your head in the ground and hoping it goes away isn't a viable strategy.........

Won't be of much use offroad with all that underslung pipework. Nice poser bike though

That's how Casey made most of his money in 2007, PLUS incentive bonus for winning the championship!!!!!

Win bonus clause is what would interest me......

Last race in Portuagal should be fun................
