George Whites
Just heard the bad news that George Whites have gone into administration! Feel sorry for all the people who have lost there jobs, knowing what thats like having been working for Mark 1 racing when they went bust in 1986. Another large motorcycle chain lost, never a nice thing to read as a biker.

Something slightly more sensible
Another find to accredit to brother Al, although this time he hasn't bought this piece of weirdness is almost so far fetched you almost want it (well I do)
The Duke of Kilmarnock
I always new that there was something not quite right with brother Alan, could never put my finger on it, but it was there nagging away in the back of my mind that he was just a bit different from the rest of us! Well just recently my worst fears have come true and Alan as come out of the closet, yup he's a Ducati fan, not just a fan but he's bought a bugger!!!
Now I don't know if this is just a passing fad and he's just experimenting, or a mid life crisis but unfortunately the priory was full so I can't get him any professional help so we will all just have to be there for him until he comes through it :)

Sticking with Rossi
Valentino also in no hurry to decide what to do in 2013, don't blame him personally, if he has a season like last year they should throw the GP12 off a cliff!

Bridgestone Tyres
New for 2012 Bridgestone S20's, Looking at options for the VFR i think these are a bit more sporty than I will ever need but i do like the idea of increased grip with longer mileage.

Saftey Officer Capirossi
Sticking with the Moto GP theme, new safety officer Capirossi is going to ensure all rider's get the best quality Bridgestones available, something which hasn't always happened in the past, Rider/team favouritism who would have thought it! Full story here http://www.silverstone.co.uk/news/latest-news/MotoGP-news/Capirossi-targets-tyre-changes-in-safety-role/
Dovizioso
Moto Gp rider Andrea Dovizioso has broken his collarbone in a motocross accident just three weeks before testing for the new season, I would hazzard aguess that although publicy his team boss is playing it down I bet he is steaming inside!!! Is that plaster cast big enough?
Bert Monroe
Yesterday was the Anniversary of the death of Bert Monroe who inspired the film "Worlds Fastest Indian" staring Anthony Hopkins. Munroe was a land speed record holder on his home built "Munroe Special". See link for more info http://motorcyclemuseum.org/halloffame/detail.aspx?RacerID=381
