    Thought it might be easier to have all the main series threads as a sticky for the entire season instead of one every round....

    So here it is!

    Get posting folks....

    le mans Moto gp this weekend.

    So thoughts on the forthcoming race?

    I'm hoping it don't be the Stoner, Lorenzo Pedrobot show again. that we get some good racing and lots of over takes like in WSM. but I doubt it

    Still looking forward to it

    Well we're having a garden party of our own to celebrate the jubilympics. So my 2 biking buddies and their considerably better halves are pitching up first thing on Sunday. The women are going to witter on about............stuff, either in the garden or the front room while the guys spend all day drinking my port and watching all last weeks BSB, recorded while I was away, and any other motor sport that's occurred since. So I figure, by lights out at the start, I won't be able to recognise whoever's riding anyway.

    Does anyone else wish that Cox and Parish would just sod off and shut up, they talk such bull again and again and again and what's worse they can't even get the facts right.... God I hate the BBC!

    I agree but LIVE needs must....lol. I mean they can't even read the grid line up correct, then said some bull about JL not passing when he did, then Parrish keeps going on about HiMotion camera....it's Hi Speed camera that produces SLOW motion you fool, then just to make himself look even more stupid he said Oh look how the Ducati don't rev so hard, next breath he's saying how it's a smaller capacity bike with a shorter stroke so revs harder...wtf are you talking about Parrish I mean your a man who should be right on the case so lay off the gin. lol

    He might be talking about the Hi-Motion II brand camera system. It's becoming quite standard now to have a couple of these at sporting events. It's fast becoming the weapon of choice for ultra slow motion capture.

    I doubt he'd know that though Arthur. I'm surprised he can read his script.

    I have to admit, I do like him and coxy bumbling through the races. There's something about Moody and Ryder that makes my flesh crawl. I think it's every camera club I've ever given a talk to and every motor club I've been affiliated to is full of whiny stato's like them and over the years I've developed this gag relex when I listen to them.
