Sounds like a bargain that Jon, think one day on a sports bike would be enough for me lol. Good package though that

Think if I was going it would be flight in and bike hire

Hi Scozza

I've never ridden a bike, but I mentioned to Mrs Fubar it might be a bucket list thing to learn how to ride and do a track day.
She reminded me (yet again) that "lockdown is not an excuse to do dumb s**t"

She said I could do it on a moped though so I've still got a small chance

Bloody hell Jon, if there's one race track I would love to ride it's down your way, Phillip island, that straight down to the sea, incredible! Try one there!

Anybody see the Aprillia chat with Laverty, talks about the bike, stunning machine, what a weapon that is!

And then MV is on one lol

Suzi Perry in hot pants, would I love to smash her back doors in

Hi Scozza

Because Moto hasn't been here for a while I forgot about Phillip island. Looked it up and track days work out at £80 / day but you have to bring your own bike.

Off to check out moped prices now

Thats a bargain mate, go for it

Ducati one two, Bagnaia lap record and FQ in 3rd, 0.5 sec of pole, rat boy in 6th, what's the odds he crashes out again!

Three days on that track would be a nightmare unless your fitness is at professional athlete level, you would also need a van with spares including tyres and fuel is not available on cercuit. A track day at brands used to take me at least two days to recover.

A guy I know had his desmodesi and superlegera shipped out there for a three dayer while he flew out. His garage also contains 3 more Ltd edition bikes and 2 supercars.

Hi Chris,

Loved that, I'm smiling like a Cheshire cat again

Huge for Peko and thouroughly deserved , and Rossi lost his bet as he didn't cry

That image guy Honda hired for Rat boy whilst he was recuperating paid off massive, he was a completely different person in his post race interview, notably likeable (Which I never thought I'd say)

Yep great race and sorry great ride for MM you can't be a pussy at that level.
Yeah 70k for super, 50k for the desi when he bought it, the other bikes he has are similar value. He works in the city but is a great guy that loves his bikes and rides them hard not just garage queen's.
Off on tour Tuesday, can't wait.

The pundits were saying before this weekend his arm will never be any better and he will never ride at his previous level.

Was a great bit of racing that, loved it

MM is a great rider, I just can't help thinking he is pushing it too far all the time, ditched it 18 times this season and the run wide cost him, great last few laps those though, the thing that makes the sport great!

Is it the lack of bike development time, not sure myself, I think others have come on and he is pushing it far too hard trying to keep up, people can blame the shoulder, not sure it is, the competition is quite strong, great ride by the rat though and I think everybody could see that he would press, press and press
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
