I got my daughter a Kiddimoto Rossi bike. Served her extremely well, has been passed down to the younger one and still looks brand new. Great bearings, well put together and extremely solid. Made the transition onto the normal pedal bike almost effortless. From when Vale was on a Ducati, obviously...

Interesting write up on the seagull: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/moto-gp-racer-kills-seagull-6655193

You haven't watched the race yet and you still came on here? What's wrong with ya?! I avoid this thread like the plague if I've not seen the race yet.

R15k? I would have bitten your arm off if I'd known...

I have nothing to add except - damn, I love motoGP

In a way I hope that he does. Seeing him fade away is not the way for him to go.

I'm happy that Dani won - I've always been a Pedrosa fan, and it's nice to see him fit and healthy and actually riding aggressively again. It's been a while since he's done that, but the last few races he's been getting better and better. Rossi did incredibly well in this race too - from the unbelievable qualifying (his weakness) to the great launch - him and Lorenzo blitzed everyone else. Looking forward to next weekend

My name IS on the list and I still didn't win... Now that sucks proper donkey balls.

*where's my tissues?*

Old age...

Take it to your LBS! Keep your LBS in business

I got in! But it's moer expensive this time around... Any sponsorships going?

I'd LUUUURVE one of these. I like that it's small and light, but with just enough poke (probably). Cheap on fuel, and can go anywhere. I'd ride one from here to Canada. In any direction.

Wait wait wait!!! I see my name on that list, but I've not heard anything from anyone about it? Is there someone else with my name? If I win a weekly spot prize, can I still win one of the main prizes?

1000 posts on the motorcycling topic!! Yay!

I want one...

I had a KTM 690 in the UK and loved it. It had Maxxis intermediates on it and I used it right through the year. Plenty of power to lift the front whenever I wanted (which was all the time) and keep it there. And it was fast enough on the freeway that it starts to get hard to hang on, and you really feel the pressure on your chest. But that's not what it's all about - keep it in town and you'll have stacks of fun! I had a Kawa 636 at the same time, but that hardly got ridden as it was nowhere near as exciting to ride unless I went far above legal speeds. Not that the supermoto is any more legal in the way that I rode it, but it was at least slower speeds!

All of them

The Hornet is a good bike, but a bit dull and characterless to ride. RE: the NC - the issues with power and weird gearing was fixed on the 'upgraded' model when they bumped it up to a 750. It's still a bit of an odd ball in that it makes its power much lower down in the rev range and it just makes more noise if you rev it out instead of actually going any faster. But once you get used to that and rather short shift, then its great. Fantastic commuter bike, and you can fit a helmet under the 'tank' too. I like it. The SV is a great option too, it just feels a little spartan when you climb on after being on other bikes. But that's made up for by the sound (if it's got a different pipe). And doubly made up for if you get the 1000 But for general commuting hooliganism you can't beat a supermoto http://pre02.deviantart.net/df39/th/pre/i/2011/083/9/3/ktm_690_smc_supermoto_2_by_coldf-d3cdh03.jpg

What a race!!

Now stop talking on this thread. The fewer people that know about it, the better for me

Number 3 is a lucky draw... But otherwise - read the rules! 5. What happens if a person wins more than one category?In the event of someone winning more than one category the prize will go to the next eligible competitor that is closest in either category measured by the percentage of the category winner's result within each category.

It seems like all of your routes are being targeted! Time for you to find a new sport

Yay Friday!

Awesome! Enjoy it!
