Re: Bit careless.

I agree--try that in Germany on an unrestricted part of the motorway--I have been passed by a Porsche when I was doing 120 like I was standing still!!!--you NEVER change lanes without a pause and a mirror check.

Re: Thetford lanes this Sunday 28th

Is this still on?--I'll possibly ride over and its about 40 miles--and assuming that the forecast thunderstorms don't hit hard--I believe its called red zone riding in the US.

Re: Random question about rally navigation gear switches

Re: Nicky Hayden

so very sad---I wonder if we will ever find out how it happened--but thats small comfort.
I worked in the US a few years ago and saw Nicky race small town oval dirt tracks even though his international career was taking off--a true gent and such a sad loss.
