    What channels in the US carry this? Other than MotoGP and the occasional MX on Fox Sports, motorcycle racing seems scarce on US TV.

    I don't have a subscription to watch. I think next year I wii.
    On a good note though I'm heading home from Barber motorsports park after a wonderful track day. Kept her shiny side up. Almost ran off in turn 5 hair pin when I hit a false neutral. Had great weather, 60s and sunny. Now were driving home in the rain.

    Did a track day at Barber this weekend. Such a fun track. One of the guys in our club (young buck) was throwing down 1:38's on a friends stock 80 CBR 1000 with rather old Q2's on it. Very impressive especially seeing that it was his first time on a 1k at a track, he rides a 600. He then rode another friends GSXR 600, stock with good tires and ran 1:34's! Weather was near perfect with highs in the upper 60's and sunny. Rained like hell Sunday though and I have no desire to ride in the rain anymore.

    So testing has begun for the new season of Moto GP

    Who's breaking records already?


    Marc Marquez. Not content with breaking other peoples' records, he is breaking his own. He is one fast little mofo.

    Phillip Island about 40 mins down the road, just too hot to be down there yesterday and today, at the moment to ride down there would kill you

    Just saw the final test results for Sepang, looking good for Crutchlow! Having high hopes for him this year, who knows maybe he'll be the replacement for Dani. Not that I have anything against Dani, just thinking a changing of the guard is on the horizon.
