In reply to Post #591 Don't do the v4 pan, you will definitely lose your licence, got pulled by an unmarked while test riding a superduke GT a few months ago , luckily I spotted him pull out from his hideaway and slowed down while he followed me and eventually pulled me over and how fast were you going back there when you passed me. Obviously he didn't know so got off with a warning.

In reply to Post #590 Agree
JR and Toprak, two of the best ever, had my picture took with them this year
Some of the best racing I have seen, every circuit it has been crazily close!
No doubt though, the Ducati needs some revs taking off it, up to and over 12 bikes lengths on the straights! Became a joke for me, close racing then on the straight leaves everybody for dead, thats the only reason AB has won it, good rider but not in the class of the other two
Went into my local dealer the other day to book my bike in for a service, nearly ended up with a Panigale V4

In reply to Post #588 Ducati dominance MotoGP and WSB, straight line speed is ridiculous in comparison
I hope FQ wins it, to be fair Yamaha are due for a good race, not been competitive for a while now. Probably nailed on that FB wins it

championship decider this weekend...im going for peco if he don't chuck it in the kitty litter. but, will miller and bastiani be helping or fighting him. even zarco could be in the mix and helping Quattro . overall hopefully will be a good and safe race.

In reply to Post #583 Worked with a bloke who used to go there regular, he had a souped up golf, was on Top Gear with it. Mental place and crashes galore, very dangerous!

In reply to Post #582 Nice one
My mate told me a story about Porto that made me laugh. He was on a practice session, litre bikes and thought he was fast, bloke past him on an R1 on the outside of one of the corners like he was stood and went on to leave him for dead, later talking to him in the pit lane he only had one arm
Think if I retired and had some brass there loads of circuits to ride, would love a blast around Phillip Island myself, corkscrew at Lagua Seca etc, wouldn’t mind a blast around Aragon either 🏍
One thing like you say though, on TV you never get the same perspective of how a tracks goes up and down, blind summits and corners etc. until you see it for real

In reply to Post #579 Nice one, what class were riding in, couple of my mates were racing at one time
Need to get my finger out and have a blast around Donnington, could do with a track day bike though, no wrecking my beautiful baby, Mate was telling me people from insurance companies go and watch nowadays and record all the registrations ffs
