Gotta love some of the colour names - Rusty Trombone

The Farr colours match your bike nicely

Very nice! I'm loving the matte olive green/military look at the moment. Are the orange accents so you can find your bike again when you put it down out on the trails?

No, I like her with the helmet off, she has a beautiful face

Ha ha. Maybe not as extreme as you, but not a fan either. Rest of the bike looks and sounds amazing though.

The safety of modern F1 cars still amaze me. To walk away from that without any apparent injuries is incredible

Not very scientific, but something to think about.

Apparently it even has dinosaurs living among people on it

Like Abraham Lincoln once said "Don't believe everything you read on the internet"

Damn, Eliot is a stylish rider.

And confirmed, Ricciardo to Renault

I saw something on FB saying it was cancelled, due to low interest and expected bad weather this weekend. Will try have a look and confirm

Well there is a surprise, Ricciardo leaving Red Bull at the end of the season (confirmed), and tipped for Renault?

First time riding Helderberg Trails (can't believe it's taken me this long to go ride there - skande!)

My kingdom, my kingdom for a Maxxis DHF 29 x 2.3 EXO. Tried online, tried my lbs... no stock, and apparently nothing at the suppliers. Any ideas?

I believe he got a 10 sec penalty for the Ricciardo clash. A lot of little things and bad luck going against Ferrari recently, hope that turns around after the break.

He should probably ride with a full face helmet, knee pads, body armour etc. seeing as how fragile he is.

That was heart-breaking. A relatively small mistake has resulted in a probable 32 point swing in the driver's championship. But to distract me from that heart-break .... WTF were the Torro Rossos doing on full wets?
