I miss the old days when this forum was more of a community than just a Q&A place. Maybe it will come back around someday.

Totally agree. This is the reason why these forums exist it's a community to communicate. I took a leave of absence because I bought a Kawasaki ZX14R so I was pretty active in the Kawasaki forum but since I sold the bike and bought a Honda I'd thought to come back but didn't know it would be like this.

I’m not asleep.
Ive been watching MotoGP all day and can’t wait for the races tomorrow..........or tonight or tomorrow’s tonight or whatever if your Stateside.
Thats half the issue really, we are split by timelines but it’s still a great place to come regardless!
Maybe a “banter” or chat room within the forum ?

Nice we've awoken !

Cool we have Wales in the building. Yeah I'm looking forward to the Losail Moto GP race yup Sunday morning here. It's time for Rossi to win his 10th crown before riding into the sunset. I think Bagnaia, Dovizoioso, Zarco, Rins and Vinales will definitely be in front of the pack. Those guys are hungry to take the '19 crown so it's going to be an interesting season for sure.

Good idea, let's see what happens.

Hmmmm you're in Wales....not too far from the Island, "Isle of Man"? Have you been there? Love to visit one day in the near future. I'll be in London and Southhamptom in Aug 2019 but unfortunately can't make it to the island.

Not done the TT yet but will be at our very own MotoGP at the end of August. Let’s hope Silverstone sorts itself out as last year was embarrassing for us Brits !

Crutchlow thanked all his surgeons and recovery team during the parc ferme interviews. The last time he raced he crashed at 180mph ! Respect given.

Total respect. I can't even imagine crashing at 180 mph and walking away. Crazy.


I'm getting bored with Marc winning every year for the past several years, we need someone else on the 1st place podium spot. Dovi is definitely deserving.

I'm not bored of it. Even though he wins a lot, he's fun to watch. It's never the same win. He makes mistakes, then can just turn it up at will and go faster than the rest of the best riders in the world. I was really getting bored with the days of 1 guy checking out and riding all alone for an entire race and winning by 20 seconds.

My biggest problem this season is the broadcast. There isn't one.... They cut it mid season last year and it's been gone ever since. Same with wsbk, ama, road racing, tt, and everything else besides motocross.
