The world has lost an excellent and exciting rider in Marco Simoncelli. He was a true character. RIP #58.

You can leave a tribute on the MotoGP website.

Ah, so eloquent!

Whilst the wedding is a great event for the participants, I am not interested in the slightest. However William was seen last night out on his motorbike in less than adequate gear (squidding) and confirming his continued love for Ducati - some would say at the cost of Hinckley. Triumph being the only mass produced British rival to the big Duke.

I have setup a site to post all my automotive related discoveries. Currently I have two posts up there about fuel degradation and storage.

Putting motorcycles into storage or “winterizing” can be an involved procedure so I have decide to cover it in a series of posts beginning with the fuel system in the post entitled ‘Winter Motorcycle Storage: Fuel System’.

Continuing the fuel theme the reasoning behind previous post is backed up by a technical article that addresses the question; ‘Why does fuel go stale?’.

A nice modern take on the original Stratos by Pininfarina set to be sent into production. Thankfully they preserved original rear end lights and lip spoiler. Not so sure about the headlights.

Nice footage. Particularly interesting, I find, are the tyres when the dragsters are leaving the line.
