Glad to hear things are going better, nice steed.....

On season 2, really enjoying it.

Happened a few months ago. I know the police investigation came to nothing. AirBnB has no control over who their "tenants" are, more so when false identification is used.

Takealot sale??

For sure, I 100% agree but feel for Sergio too in a way. Might not have been as easy if Sergio dug in his heels and Max didn't have DRS. That would have been ugly. But all round a good result. Good to see Russell with his elbows out too. Good race by him.

I bought 2 collapsible crates at PnP for R100 while on special. Works a charm for everything, gear, groceries, etc........

Not a fan of how they move Perez over but it avoided a nasty fight in the end, and Max was on the quicker strategy. Feel for Le Clerc but Max has had the same rotten luck, closes up the title fight nicely.

What was the price in mind before the auction, out of interest?

It doesn't make as much sense but his name should ne rock-glasshouse surely........

Couldn't agree more. I have a friend who was held in a flashy Sandton apartment, he sells new/used Apple products. They rented the apartment for a day, he was lured there, welcomed by a nice lady so you are already thinking it is well-to-do folk. 2 guys then came out of a room and accosted him, they held him hostage for a few hours, they also took all of his product which was in his car. Thankfully they let him go 2 or 3 hours later. He went to the police but ended up being "burner" phones/sims, AirBnB apartment rented under false identities, etc. Police said it is a fairly common occurrence It is scary out there, be safe. You life is worth more than a used bike or bike parts......

Interesting, and off topic, to hear how the aero in MotoGP is leading to front wheel lock ups. And the *** Michelins contributing too. They asked Pecco this weekend and he said the front doesn't occasionally lock-up, it is pretty much happening in every hard braking zone, on every lap. They simply manage it......

All good now, nice platform rack.

Can't see the image.

And the new KLR650?

What happened??

I hear you, mostly these riders deny rumours while the ink is still drying on the page. For sure its Jack's last year as a factory Ducati rider, they won't risk losing Martin and they have an asussie in Gardner so no more pressure on that front. What Ducati does with Bastianini will be interesting. Lots of "rumours" about Dovi not even riding out the year. Toprak was upfront saying he won't leave WSBK before he wins a title, that's done now so lets see. Garvis has already started turning on Morbidelli. I am curious to see where Rins goes. I think a move for Mir to HRC is a good one. HRC has shown they are looking beyond Marc so why not. He has a style that would suit the Honda too. I don't see any place on the grip for Alex Marquez or Nakagami. Another curious one is who will get the Suzuki slot and with what bike. Apparently there is a satelite Ducati team already looking at running Aprilia's...........

We all know a rumour in the MotoGP paddock is simply an unconfirmed fact........

Its a R300k+ bike for sure..........

Pretty much confirmed as the staff and riders have been told of them leaving. Meaning Mir to HRC is not just a rumour, there is some merit to it. Pol out on his ass. Taka to WSBK. Ohura in. Miller possibly to LCR, but then what of Alex Marquez? Fabio will resign for Yamaha, but looking like Morbidelli possibly not, hoping that means Toprak in...... Then what of the Suzuki slots, There will definitely be 2 more Aprilia's on the grid. That is for certain but Maverick won't be on a factory bike I reckon. Also who gets the factory duke between Martin and Bastianini. Crazy silly season!!!!!

What a diabolical blunder by the race officials in the Moto2 race hey. Only watched the replay yesterday. And then interpreting the rulebook in such a way as to hand Viette points just feels wrong.

Unfortunate but it happens I suppose. Perhaps a bit of envy that they made their money and moved? Its like being mad at the industry for killing off 26ers.......

If they allow him, perhaps signed him up as 2nd driver. Good wingman......

So what is the background story about Farr if I may ask?

The name "Skully" comes to mind, fully funded and yet 10yrs later not a single helmet delivered. There's a crowd recently with an electric road bike (name escapes me now) also making bold statements and claims. I will believe it once they deliver actual bikes to customers.

I missed the race but saw highlights. Looked like a great race, KTM woes aside. Marc had a storming ride through the field!!!
