At last we've got somthing to shout about. Today at the Assen circut in Holland, Neil Hodgeson was crowned World Superbikes Champion 2003.
Neil has had a great season this year, and became a Dad this week as well, so raise a pint to the lad from Burnley!

Bring on the Moto GP next year!

Wassail!

Yeah, he did a great job....But your MotoGP line don't make it! The engine change about killed it and I'm sick to death of the friggin' Ducati parade.   seriously, if MotoGP lasts another two years, I'll be surprised.

For the past fifteen years, Moto GP was all two stroke, Honda,Yamaha, and Suzuki, Kawasaki pulled out as they said it was to far removed from the road bikes it was supposed to represent, thank god for sense.

How many two stroke performance bikes do you see on the road these days?
Apart from the tended and loved, not a lot, remember that what we see in racing, will at some stage see it's way onto the road.

And as for parades, look at F1, its as much fun as watching paint dry.

Would you still be bitchin at a parade of Harleys, Triumphs, Brittens, Nortons??? If you have the best kit at the time, you will always get slagged off, just because you keep winning.
