A Moment of Silence   The Pucker Factor; though firmly encased in humor it is a term that every rider around the world knows and race spectators empathize with. It is the moment when your own personal safety zone gives way, when the illusions of control fall and all that you are left with is the...

Went to Laguna for the sixth time with the wife.  That place only gets better and better, sorting through the hundreds of photos I took and will be posting them to my Flickr account, here are a few...  More to come.       Valentino Rossi by emm+dee, on Flickr   Valentino Rossi by...

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES NICKY!

From Russia With Love   Tom Sykes - It's not hard to imagine the kind of reception that Tom Sykes received following round 7 at Imola. The hardy Brit had battled through injury, mechanical failure and personal errors to stay within sight of the championship leaders week in and week out. Many...

Okay been thinking about doing valencia again, The weekend covers 8th 9th and 10th of november. It's my birthday on the 9th! Anyone fancy coming to party with me?

(I'm starting this thread in hopes of recouping normal practice and pre-event thread titles. )   Predictions:   If Lorenzo and Pedrosa are unfit, this is an easy one to predict:   1. Rossi 2. Marquez 3. Cal   Note: If Pedrosa is fit, he will podium.  All other finishers are...

Are you ready?      2012 podium.     Will Bautista finally get his man?     Will Rossi return to 5th?     Can the Man of Steel get back on the podium after 2 weeks rest?     Will Dani .... his pants again instead of making the most of his main rivals...

Losing The Battle, Winning the War   Tom Sykes knows dejection, frustration and iron resolved when it is rolled up in one tight ball of barely contained fury. After closing to within spitting distance of leading the 2013 points standings, Sykes found hard times at the last outing Portimao. The...

Although IMS and Dorna have a contract to run a gp in indy for 2013 & 2014, Word in the paddock is that 2014 will be mutually canceled.    This year is now or never to attend a gp in indy.

<blockquote class=" The Road to Redemption Tom Sykes is a man on the move, but it wasn't too long ago that he was on the tip of everyone's tongue for the wrong reasons. In Monza the Kawasaki ZX-10R pilot rode the wheels off his green machine to finish ahead of title rival Sylvain Guintoli and...

Race is this weekend.  I think I'll be there from start to finish.  Should be another great time!  Here are some pictures from Saturday.   Gear selector, know as "el cangrejo"  is a pain in the ass on racing Vespas.  Lean to much to the right and if your lucky it scraped, if your not you fly...

With the weather this will be a lottery.   Going to watch warmup then get 3 hours sleep, see yal at 5am.

Hangtown complete, but I won't give away the results just yet as both moto's haven't been aired. One comment for 450's....Dayum!!!!

Another walk over for Honda?   Will Jorge get one back on Marc?   Can Cal win?
