well, splitting bikes and selling the parts for profit is quite in vogue these days... hard to sell them in one piece or so i hear  ::)

Anyone got a MIG welder handy?

I've heard about increasing the wheelbase , but that's a ridiculous way to go about it!

quite the opposite tg , hopper has become the crowd favourite at bsb this year . hes not the usual gp refugee trying to earn a few quid before retirement at all . hes managed to learn all the british tracks properly in a year [ something i never achieved in 30 ] never moans about the weather or the normal bsb over aggressive ridding [ josh brooks you know who you are ] . always says the right things when interviewed , he will be much missed when he goes on next year
especially by the event organisers who have seen some 50 thousand plus crowds this year [ after a year in ama where there are no crowds to speak of this has been a big surprise to him ]

not sure who i want to win though , either tommy or hopper would make worthy champions

i will be there of corse as apart from all this bsb rubbish there is also an icgp race ! i am going to be there in an advisory role ...... this will involve standing round getting in the way all weekend , drinking gallons of tea and telling roy that hes fat and slow !

sounds like a fun weekend simon,

dont know who roy is but maybe you can tell Lea G instead that his fat and slow... :)

what i meant was something i read about a change in the bsb points system, couldnt get why this made hopper a favor instead than to others

My son thinks it looks like a transformer turning into a robot.

I said it looks like a perfectly good motorbike transforming into several boxes of spares.

Agreed Simon +1 for Hopkins, I still haven't forgiven Brookes at Cadwell for putting Rutter out of the running absolutely crazy. Would like to see Byrne as champion, over in USA at moment so not up to date with championship positions, hopefully Sky+ has worked while I'm away. Peter Hickman has been a revelation since getting a decent bike, I know his dad so followed him from start. Have a good weekend.

Yeah Hopper for the title - I mean he's like Guinters and Edwards nowadays - surely an honorary Brit and he's an all round super nice guy. Wouldn't have minded Shakey winning too but guess that's one for next year :-)

ive been doing that for years tg !   unfortunately it looks like his racing days are over , still he has nothing to prove , he was without doubt the best post classic racer i have ever raced against bar none .

the points system did actually help hopper this year , as he had already qualified for the showdown before his moto gp accident it meant he could miss cadwell without it costing him many points [ only the podium credits , 3 for first. 2 for second , 1 for third ]  but he didnt write the rules so nobody is moaning

lol Yeah I know, it just always strikes me as odd that the Brits don't like him is all. And Hopper is going back to MotoGP himself by the looks of things.

I just looked at BSB Championship Results and see Josh Brookes didn't come out of it well.
For those who hadn't seen his move at Cadwell.

Yes I think he deserves it after last year, I had to look at result couldn't wait until I got back, hopefully Sky+ will have plenty for me to see when I return, 3 weeks of MotoGP, WSB & BSB.
Did Brookes also have a hand in Guintoli's crash a couple of years ago at Donington?
