era

When did it start? Lets not kid ourselves here, the type of man to race with plated fractures surely isn't opposed to some messerschmidt chocolate. Is there any way to check who of the riders has asthma/adhd? Must be at least half the field. I am willing to bet the house 90% of the field is...

Casey Stoner's retirement effectively gave Pedrosa a life line. Zarco's choice to go to KTM seemingly gave Pedro a life line...or not. Looks like the pressure is on. Interesting that Honda via Darth Puig made the stunning point that Marquez would have an influence on who is picked. If I were...

I think just about every fan of motoracing except Povol would agree that todays electronics in GP and other series are ruining the racing After reading about the glitch in Haydens electronics that spoiled his race, I came to the conclusion that motorcycle racing is essentially dead and has been...

Yep!! They`re gonna run the old `uns again.New series completely to run in 2012.Get over to the site and check the bikes they`ll allow,.........it`ll bring a wave of nostalgia over you.I`m excited as you can gather.

It was an honor and privilege to have known u...ciao Marco.

I've watched most of the 990 races in the lull before Estoril. The Big Bikes hands down provided more excitement. Excellent racing and just all around great battles throughout the entire field. I really hope the claiming rules/1000cc era brings back the full grids. I think in 2003 there were 9...

Just to let you all know that Donington Park is holding a Motorcycle raceday on Saturday 6th November to celebrate the circuit re-opening. http://www.neweramcc.org/news.htm All the usual stuff is there and I will be there in my Superkart so if any PS regulars want to come along it would...

Carmelo Ezpeleta, the CEO of MotoGP commercial rights-holder Dorna, defends the much-criticised move to 800cc three years ago - even as the premier class prepares to re-instate 1,000cc from 2012... After Valentino Rossi described the switch from 800cc to 1,000cc in MotoGP as 'the biggest...

In the future will we look back at this time and reflect on it as one of the great era's of riders? I am not referring to 800's or any of the other problems but am referring to the riders. We have Rossi who is arguably the greatest racer of all time and then we have 3 or 4 hot young guns who...

Cant see a date on this but think its new. 4/pages to read.. MotoGP Champions Schwantz, Rainey, Doohan, Lawson - The Golden Era Rossi Himself Wished That He Could Race In The Era Of Schwantz, Rainey, Doohan, Lawson, Et Al--Why? By Henny Ray Abrams Photography by Gold & Goose Kevin Schwantz...

The most boring racing in at least a decade f you’ve been getting the sneaking feeling that MotoGP racing ain’t what it used to be, you’re dead right. With just one race left to run in the 2008 season, the premier class has not had a SINGLE race decided by less than a second. Contrast this to...

what was everyones favorite class of machine- 500two stroke, 990 four, or 800 four and why, and by era I mean engine size I rather enjoyed the 500 because I think it showed the true talent of the rider. I did rather like the 990's though, but can't stand the 800 because I think that rider talent...

Is rossi really that good. Yes he is a great rider, but has he been made to look better than he is due to lack of competition? He the 2 years prior to Rossi winning, the champions were Kenny Roberts and Alex Craville. And neither of them could beat Doohan. Then Rossis main rivals in 2000+ was...

Hey, i am super bored right now, so i am gonna ask you guys a question with no correct answer. And if you can be bothered, i want to know what you think. We all know it is near impossible to compare the compare riding in different eras, but i want to try. When do you think was the riding was...
