Re: RIP Simoncelli

Tragic, a true entertainer, I was looking forward to seeing him on the 1000's next year.

Thoughts to his family and friends, the Gresini team and especially Edwards and Rossi.

Re: Need a New Helmet my old one has had it

I had an AGV GP-Pro that was sensational but needed replacing after 5 years. I had a choice between another GP-Pro and another brand and for reasons I still can't explain chose the other brand. It is a decision that I have regretted ever since. My thoughts - if you were happy with the AGV and can ...

Petrol VAPOUR has a very low flash point 43cel and is heavier than air " petrol does not burn Vapour does" ie: sit on ya bike, fill ya tank, vapour cascades down over the ...

A MOTORCYCLIST is in a critical condition after plunging about 40m down an embankment at Springbrook in the Gold Coast hinterland.

Re: leather vs textile jackets?

I've got both and my probable flawed logic goes something like this -

If I'm off to the twisties it leathers
If I'm off to the shops or a gentle ride around the suburbs it's textiles

Doesn't always work because I often seek out the twistiest route when undertaking the suburban ride :oops:

The owner applied to build the track to be used for his private use in the '70's. Not surprisingly he was knocked back by local council. So instead he applied to build an access road, left out the fact that it had 22 ...

Re: aawwww crap! I've lost my only key!

I remember several years ago my dad being contacted by the RTA in NSW whether he would be happy for them to pass on his details to someone who had purchased a bike he once owned. Maybe you can travel that path with the WA version of RTA?
