    I would not call Tom Sykes and Johnny Rea spoiled brats but I know what you mean. Those 2 are meat and potatoe boys.

    Well when searching for the Austin race, I learned that SpeedTV doesn't exist anymore. Apparently Fox and their infinite wisdom have found that racing does not a channel make. The channel is now "Fox Sports 1". I believe it's channel 219 on DirecTV, but I don't know about any other providers. I just need to find something on Roku that would give me the GP races in real time, if not real close, then I can ditch this TV service crap altogether.

    Try this site for Moto GP and WSBK.
    http://www.motolink.info

    Fox Sports 1 does broadcast the races. But its not great coverage. BEIN Sports broadcast WSBK.

    You can also purchase a MotoGP pass from their site.

    Having ridden with old racers, all you get to see is a few glimpses of the ass end of whatever they are riding. The question now is do you watch your bike fall over? This brings up yet another question. If a bike falls over in the garage does it make a sound?

    To me, that sound is heard around the globe and into space.

    Not sure if anyone else hears it though.

    Anybody could do fancy tricks with those super bikes. but do they have a good fuel gauge? Or how about some heated grips or a sargent seat or a good wind screen? I got a cup holder in my tank bag. Those bikes are so stripped down and way too fast and can't take a good pot hole on. These are just show off's like My SHow Cat Ceasar IMGP0290.jpg

    Son of Woof is where IQ is nearly equal to age. This is not however, the major point. His quest is to be the curmudgeon . Falling short, he is more cur than mudgeon.

    Let's keep the personal attacks reserved for the racers.

    Can we attack Pedrosa's manager with impunity?

    Pedro has a new one this year. Don't know what Puig is doing. Perhaps looking for a younger racer to help out......

    Alberto was banished to south east Asia to run a development series. Dani is likely to never win a championship in MotoGP

    And it has been a sound business decision for Honda/Repsol.
    Without spoiling too much, Pedrosa's performance this weekend was just more of the same-not losing, but not winning.
