Want to feel old, bought my first grow light from a hippy, diy thing, obviously magnetic ballast but all the parts were exposed and bolted onto a piece of wood. Could electrocute yourself every time you turned it on. I had no clue and thought the guy was a Genius.

Suzuki's hole shot works awesome going by last race. Amazing.

Im just getting back into Motogp after a decade of not really following it. Been a great season to get back into it.
Also back in to bikes after 12 years out of the saddle. Good to be riding again. Not good was spending $1250 on leather and boots today.. haha.
Already have an acquaintance wanting me to buy a ASBK spec Yamaha R3 thats for sale and go club racing...lol. Sport is full of Bad influence aint it?
Do it man. The smaller bikes are so much fun to race and the tire bills are so much cheaper also. Still a huge money pit but, so much fun. Be prepared to get your ass kicked by kids though.

Not going racing i don't think. Just costs to much. Will probably look at a track bike though. I used to have a ZXR750R as a track bike. Some works gear on it. Was in A grade but middle of the pack. Was good fun.

Honestly racing isn't more expensive than track days. Its about the same really. Funniest part of the little bikes is when you start getting faster and you eat the 600's and liter bikes alive on the brakes and the corners only for them to blow the doors off you in a straight then pass them again in a corner.

An expert physiotherapist and osteopath assumes that the unsatisfactory results of Marc Márquez's second operation extend the times of his recovery
Marc Marquez's recovery is getting complicated and times are getting longer. If he had initially tried to get back on track just a few days after his fracture, now the Cabroncito had to give up and throw in the towel at least for the 2020. season. But it's not at all said that the reigning world champion will recover the perfect arm functionality not even on the championship finale.
A Spanish physiotherapist and osteopathic expert, Ruben Garcia Ruiz, who analyzed what happened at number 93: " The first operation
was a success and, although he seemed to have the Terminator's arm, having seen him do the pushups three days after surgery I was as stunned as anyone else ", admits to the microphones of the MotoRaceNation specialized site. " Obviously a professional athlete always has to fight to recover as soon as possible, but what we saw Marquez do was inhuman ".
But precisely this decision to force, in vain, recovery times are at the root of successive complications: "The humerus has been subjected to significant stress that led to a re-operation, which did not go well ", explains Dr. Ruiz. "We saw a picture of Marquez with a cast covering his right arm up to the first finger of his hand. And that picture tells us a lot: if re-operation was normal, that cast shouldn't have gone there, at best up to the elbow or a little lower".
Marquez second surgery failed
The Iberian doctor says that the new operation Marquez was subjected to had an unsatisfactory outcome: "I have a riskier hypothesis: the second surgery may not have gone as well as desired. The truth is that all the stress the bone has been subjected to doesn't make it easy to reposition everything in the right conditions". And for this reason it will take a long time before Marc is back in perfect shape: " Marquez will have a lot of effort to recover his elbow ", concludes Dr. Ruiz." And even if they allow him to try the 2021 prototype before the end of the season, what possible, in my opinion he should refuse, to have time to complete consolidation. If there is an important articulation for a rider, it is that of the elbow, since all the strength you need to carry the motorcycle passes through there ".

Damn was so hopping the old man would hold out for that podium. Loving all the first time winners this year. Marquez is is insanely talented but, its been exciting to see the races unfold without him on the grid.

I had to watch it late last night. family does not respect the desire to watch it live at 8am on a Sunday morning for some reason. Not sure what was going on this race, it almost felt like the camera work was not as good as past years because it almost seemed boring at times.

Miller? he used his tires up and finished 8th? I think. You must be thinking of Mir? What heartache to be passed on the last lap for Val. Would have been something very special indeed.

And Vinales. OMG. Year after year Yamaha puts all their trust into him and yet the results are never there. He blames the bike.

Another awesome race and another new winner for the season.
Shame Bagnaia couldnt finish. How fast was Mir?

Mir is a beast right now. I wouldn't want to bet on who is going to be champion this year. I always wondered about those peel-offs and if they didn't cause problems and now we know, Miller and perhaps Bagnaia out because of them.

Bags was running a soft rear and it was out of shape for a couple laps before the off. I think he may of used the tear off as a plausible excuse.
He would be spewin though, so close....

Have you guys seen the "Unseen" videos on moto gp YT account? They're an interesting behind the scenes for sure, the last one had Pol bleating about someone coming up under him and Mir not realising it was him that carved Pol, made for a funny car trip haha

I'm loving the randomness and the lack of Marquez, he's amazing, but fuck it's boring when he's around

Wish I had the time to watch all the stuff. Between my older kids and my little ones I had 10 years of being able to watch the whole weekend and all the races. I barely have time now for the GP race and haven't watched moto2 for years now. 4 or 5 more years I'll have my free time back when these kids can play with each other or themselves.

One of the riders said something like everybody believes they can win now. You can look back at the past few years and you can tell those willing to fight and those not willing to, subconscious or not. Hopefully when he comes back they remember this feeling and don't let him have it as easy. Anyway, I like the way this is going with KTM and Suzuki making such leaps.
