Yeah, but...
...on a Police bike you have a radio....hard to outrun that.
What did you think of the Estoril round? Stoner....lost the front. Spies....lost the back (on the warm-up....what?). Good fight between Simoncelli and Dovi. And Lorenzo gave Rossi a riding lesson: Sandbag for 13 laps and then wander off into a 8 second lead...
125s were good. Well, Marquez was. He is really after the title...
My Rossi impression
I love motorcycle racing and motorcycles in general. I gave them up when my son was born but I did not sell my bikes. Well I gave my self a track day for a birthday gift. Only got one decent picture. Unfortunately the lap timer never lies and it said I wa...
re: Rossi
Happy belated Bday, it's always fun to go out and get the knees down. Yamaha dominated over the weekend race but next year you're going to have to get a Ducati to be Rossi! -MW
I've been dreaming about the move for many years
and can't wait. I've got the Ducati covered, I have a 996 and 1098 but I use the R6 on the track as the ducs are to pretty to throw away. Even at my super slow pace I almost high sided myself coming out of a corner too hot on very worn out tires. After th...
re: high side
"I almost high sided myself coming out of a corner too hot on very worn out tires" How'd you pass tech inspection? -MW
Setting good laptimes ...
... is something for the Pro's .... As you can see i'm not a Pro ... this was my first try back in 1994 .... After that i decided to lend my bike to a friend ... whi knew how to handle it .... Happy B-day ... Filip...
Old racing pics...
Mount Gambier, South Australia. 2000. Mmmm, nice leathers...really dates the photo....but hey, they got crashed in a lot. And replaced...ahem Luxurious paddock facilities. 33+C temperatures......
at one point in my younger days
I actually raced and was semi fast, but desire to stay in one piece was very much at odds with having the killer instinct to be a really good racer. I actually won a few races, but they were always wet races and I normally won with the turtle strategy of ...
You look rather heroic Bim!
Ahhh Filip, you look rather heroic! Perhaps you would've been known as "Le Daredevil Bim." Nice pictures and thank you for sharing them with me!
Happy Bday!
Happy Belated Birthday. While you and Valentino Rossi might not have equivalent motorcycle skills, at least you two both have matching numbers on your bikes. Let's just hope your son has the same respect for you as you have for him, and does not ask you t...
I hope you are right
I was actually kicked out of my house at 17 for buying a motorcycle and never really got how my father felt until my son came along. If he decides he likes them I will support him and show him how to ride on the track, but the street is off limits
i was always crap on the track. more of a purist than a pro :))
my ragged edge always appeared well before my knee got anywhere near the ground you, however, where looking good. happy birthday. best Graham

i thought all 3 races...
i thought all 3 races were brilliant. Stoner throwing it down the road was par for the course, loved the fighting in the pack. i know you'll disagree but the moto2 was excellent. sofuoglu(or something like that) first time on moto2, first time on slicks, ...
The racing...
...in Moto2 is generally brilliant. Iannone and Elias....and the late Tomizawa...Watching the bikes backing into Honda Corner at Phillip island was fun (not as fun as watching Stoner in turn 3 or Siberia, though) and they really allow the rider to dominat...
Nice one, tourbillon.
Which track did you visit? The guy on #19 in the photos below also has a R6 for a track bike (as opposed to his 125 race bike), I think it's a 07 model, which he's finally (according to his standards as an A-grade racer...) gotten to grips with. Strange a...
Happy birthday and...
...you look great on your bike! Hopefully, when your children are grown you can revisit the hobby again! Cheers, Daos
