  1. Are we not at the point where existing members should vouch for all new profiles before they live and allowed to post? Some other forums I participate on use this system and it’s appears to be pretty good at keeping the rubbish out. If not the above. Mandatory 10 posts before being allowed to post an ad.
  2. Good LAWD!!!!
  3. Why not take that 10% and use it to build schools, pay for the teachers / other staff, provide lunch meals and basic medical for students. Maybe even keep the text books up to date? Discovery to own and run the program, no sub contacting to thieves. I have no problem when a business is trying to make real, long term change to uplift the country and not individuals who, if can afford to bank probably aren’t the most in need of free help.
  4. There are 3 Tech Banks launching next year. Disco, Zero and Tyme. I do think they are way forward and I will only be putting my hard earned money into one of them. All criteria will be taken into consideration.
  5. Discovery Bank share scheme As part of its value proposition, Discovery Bank will give black depositors 10% equity in the business. These shares will be given to black depositors without any cost or risk to them. The Discovery CEO admitted that there is some political risk because the plan excludes white customers.

    While I do agree with you. I do think these sub 60kg midgets do get a huge advantage, especially now with all the electronics taming the beast. Not unique though to bikes of course, F1 drivers are small, and so the list goes on. Rossi is tall and has made it work to a point, but he’s still at a disadvantage. The late Nicky Hayden left MotoGP because the Honda that was financially backed by Repsol from Spain was being build for Midget Pedrosa even although Nicky was the World Champ! Sadly though this has translated into our real world products, I’m 6.2 and there is no hope in hell of me fitting on a new R1 or 1000RR, my knees are almost on the bars and through my chin.
  8. Good Lawd......My eyes cannot unsee that!! Damn you.

    Great news. Happy for him. There’s been much sacrifice to get him there. We don’t always see the crazy hard work done in prior years for all these guys.

    Who remembers?

    I remember having the Junior card and was SO jealous of my older sisters who had the T cards because they sponsored Motocross!! Those were the cool kids!
  11. I believe they could fix F1 by changing these 2 rules. 1. FIA supplied and controlled rear wing. (be able to control drag but importantly also have a lot of control over the turbulent air the front car creates. By reducing this cars will be able to follow much closer) 2. Steel brakes and controlled pads. (No more of this exotic 300km/h to zero in 80 meter crap. Lengthen the braking zone, improve overtaking opportunity)
  12. A dominant manufacturer with a teammate riding shotgun for you. Seems to be a good recipe. One can argue you need to rise to that position I suppose.
  13. Got too much heat there. Causes can be many. Too lean mixture or an air leak if mixture etc has not changed lately. Exhaust port or inlet side can help diagnose. The vertical scores on a newish piston normally point to to tight a bore/piston combo but in this case the extra heat probably caused the tightness with expansion.

    From what I follow on social media (yeah I know not a good way to form opinion) I believe the model parter/spouse of all the Motorsport people I follow are 1. Ellie Reed (Chad Reed) 2. Mathilda Musquin (Marvin Musquin) 3. Jill Cairoli (Antonio) Interesting they all MX related. They’ve all played major roles in their husbands success over the years.

    You had me at Adriana...
  17. Done.. BTW I’ve checked again this morning and it has picked up the 20X 30sec intervals. So not sure if you had had a look already or if it was just a sync server queue type issue. Cheers.
  18. Does not pick up any intervals in this ride?
  19. Agree. Watching the fight my take is that Connor is just not “race” fit in the octagon. Sparring with your team that aren’t really allowed to hurt you is no substitute. He needs a few more fights to sharpen the tip of the sword.
  20. Is it still a purchase when you make it yourself basically for free? [emoji848]

    Bike not in half. Just his baby seat broke away from the subframe. But that still ain’t gonna buff out!!
  22. How can you be given a good score for smoothness but have bad scores for both accelerating and braking? Do I not understand the definition of smoooooooth?

    I’m fortunate to have over a decade of racing experience behind me and I can tell you, the outside of turn one lap one is not the place to be. Very few gifts are available out there. Lorenzo put himself on the outside. He must accept his mistake.
  24. Interesting view. Not one I’ve considered. I love racing. I’m competitive by nature. But I don’t see this as boosting my ego. But then again I’m no champion. Offering a different narrative to the “why” here. Not trying to debate any ethic or moral values.
