QUOTE (TwinCam16 @ Nov 9 2014, 12:56 PM) Hmmmm A visit from a blast from the past  QUOTE (blv @ Nov 9 2014, 02:21 PM) 2 mates and I hit up Daisy Hill Forest this morning. Only did a quick 12km ride and bailed before it got too hot. I waited until the wind picked up, around 1.30ish (NSW), and it wasn't too bad, didn't go far though |

QUOTE MotoGP Valencia: Lorenzo unhappy at Rossi tow 8 November 2014 “The other problem was that Valentino was waiting and he took profit from being behind me to improve his lap time. It is something some riders are doing. He did it today and other times this season. "But it is something you can do. I would prefer that nobody did this, but some riders are doing it. Surprisingly Valentino is doing it. You don't expect Valentino to do this kind of thing. But everyone can do it and sometimes when it happens you can lose some positions. oh please.. Vale was no where near JLo enough to get any kind of tow.. and the fact he JLo had the higher top speed says everything. JLo was all smiles over all FP sessions putting down fast times while Rossi was struggling with a setup and front tyer grip.best he could manage was 10th quickest until he ended up 7th.. they worked hard over night changing a few set ups, comes on for Qualy and sticks it on pole. Not to mention JLo ended up in 4th. he pulled into parc ferme in 3rd position only to be told to get out because he was 4th as Pedro snatched 3rd  i think Rossi is in JLo's head. he's back at his best, has out ridden JLo all season and with the last race tonight Rossi has 12point lead over him to take 2nd spot for the season. |

So can he blame Rossi for his decision to put wet weather tyres on,when Rossi stayed out on slicks? |

QUOTE (Doc @ Nov 10 2014, 10:51 AM) big mistake,since his crash in the wet last season where he broke his collar bone he hasn't been the same rider when spots of rain come. It was only spitting, not even enough for the track to be damp. 3 laps on wet tyers and he was done, they were getting shredded. Imo suck shit Jlo. Must be a hard track on tyres,Rossi was saying,due to wear,he couldn't keep up with MM on the right handers,but I think JLo has found fear,and that's what's holding him back,although he pulls excuses out of his arse to cover it.I sort of wish Rossi would find it,so he would slow down,a bit and rest on his laurels,as I don't think he has much more he needs to prove |

Hard to say, he finished 2nd to MM 6 times this year, and they were all alot closer then 2013 where MM pretty much ran away with it. Yamaha have made some improvments to make the M1 more competitive to the honda.. thats where they need to make more steps forward jlo i dont really know. at time's he's totally untouchable, but this season he's ridden like a total muppet. could be feeling the pressure because MM is that damn fast, his team mate Rossi is back at his best and finished ahead of him in the WC where he (Jlo) was the #1 rider, who knows whats going through his head. wouldnt be suprised if he doesnt win another WC. quite a few good riders stepping up to MotoGP next year. also i was reading his interview after the race, I'm confused a little confused... he said this was his best performance since 2010, but pretty much every race weekend he reminded us that he's not in perfect shape and could do better, specialy when he didnt win. So how is this his best then? Also, you might argue whether it would have made any sense for him to continue, but honestly I cannot imagine Vale or Marc giving up on the race, like he did, no matter what position they would have ended up with. Pretty sure Lin Jarvis and Yamaha bosses wouldnt of been impressed with him parking it. Even his pit crew were there standing there holding the bike ready for the switch. he pulls into the garage and they are like WTF... |

QUOTE (vk134 @ Nov 8 2014, 10:02 AM) Went the Qashqai ST in Ink blue, I would have preferred the Ivory metallic white TI, nice trim and looks, but the TI had too much other pointless driver assist crap, possible 16 week delivery depending on stock, will be interesting to see what I get as a temp lease car. I drove all of them and I must admit the Nissan CVT was pretty damn good and for a 2 litre in a big SUV it was not too bad, the Golf too small, the Corolla the same, but the new Xtrail 2wd with the 2.5 is a good option as well, but I was too tight to bother for an extra $15 per week. happy wife, happy life - or so I've been told. glad to hear that you've got it all sorted. my missus is talking about getting a new car, I think she wants some type of 4wd, needs a full size tray apparently. not one of those sissy half sized trays.  truthfully I don't think she has any idea of what she wants. as long as it can tow a tandem it'll be fine by me.

have you ever thought of ending it all? well this gives you another good reason. QUOTE Kim Kardashian's mobile game makes $43m in three months
Kim Kardashian continues to cash in on her reality television fame. This time it's her mobile phone game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, that's raking millions for the entrepreneur extraordinaire. The game made a whopping $43.3 million in the third quarter (June to September) and has been downloaded more than 22.8 million times since it was launched in June. And, perhaps most surprisingly, users have spent more than 5.7 billion minutes hanging out with Kim. Overall, the game accounted for more than half of developer Glu Mobile's total revenue for the quarter. |

was wondering where the hell is went lol QUOTE The test ride was a gift from HRC and Shuhei Nakamoto to the younger Marquez sibling for clinching the lightweight class crown this season. Alex got some advice from his older brother Marc before they headed out on track from the Repsol Honda pit box, the siblings riding the machinery which successfully brought Honda the triple crown of Rider, Team and Constructors World titles in 2014. On track they were even joined by Yamaha’s nine-time World Champion Valentino Rossi for a while as the Italian took a look at Alex’s riding style.

Jack Miller stepped up to motogp now.. big jump from moto3 QUOTE I went out of pit lane and went in to corners one and two, he said. I was like, 'Shit! That corner came quickly!' Everything comes up so fast. It's so hard to describe, it's out of this world. "The speed of course was a shock but after two or three exits you get used to it. But nothing can prepare you for the brakes. It's an incredible feeling. All they want to do is tear the bike out from underneath you. "It's an amazing bike to ride and I've had the best day of my life.ť also good to see Marco Melandri back to MotoGP from WSBK |

QUOTE (Doc @ Nov 11 2014, 06:16 PM) First I was like wtf, Alex is stepping up to moto2 why is he on a motogp bike, then I read the article. They said about Miller at Phillip Island, and there was an article titled 'Brothers in arms', that I'm sure I read on either Optus Zoo, or the Moto GP website about three or four days ago, so slow down and smell the roses Doc!  |

QUOTE (Doc @ Nov 11 2014, 07:14 PM) pretty sure that wasent a site Pedro wanted to see, could be an omen for 2016 having 2x Marquez on a Honda, he might lose his seat, unless they decide to run 3 repsol Honda's again liken they did with Pedro, stoner and dovi. But then Dovi got the boot Going to be an interesting 2015, and on another note, now Mcleod has posted on that same Rego thread that you did, with a post that should bč somewhere else, so it looks like it happens to the best of us
