Re: Done anything stupid recently?
So the one alarm in my flat that doesn't automatically update went off at 6:30 this morning. I went to bed about 4am so was unhappy but got up as it read 7:30.

Hi Fiki, what else do you expect Honda to say. Race Direction has looked at the data & they are not accepting that it happened. From looking at the helicopter view of the whole incident, Rossi's foot came off his foot peg only after Marquez leaned on him again, that's all I am saying. There was def...

I've ridden sporty bikes for the last 30-odd years.
