This thing was bloody amazing. Zef's spent ages talking me through the V8 bike, from the amazing electrics, to the anti squat rear, constant chain tension, hidden rads, stacked gearbox, clutch access, adjustable gearing but never changing the rear sprockets, etc etc. Much more high tech than the turbine and he has a real passion for its development.   |

Race bike with the owners lower legs. Once he attached his false legs the foot pegs had bolt pointing up and the boots had holes they stayed where they were put. Guy lost both legs to a land mine in Afghanistan.  |

Went to Silverstone two weeks before to watch Rossi teach the Spanish Dwarfs how to ride in the rain. Didn't take too many pics and the ones I did aren't great, but..... The 3rd loudest thing there was a MotoGP bike. FARK! They are loud. The 2nd loudest thing was the cheer when Marquez fell off. The loudest thing was the crowd when Rossi won. I swear the Pommies must think he's English. They bloody love him. Never seen a rider get so much support from the crowd.   |
