Well, hello to you all. It's that time of the year which I find particularly exciting. The MotoGP is revving up with testing. Even though you can't tell that much from testing it is an early indicator of things to come, and Marc Marquez on the Ducati locks like an enticing favourite to be right up there with the best of the best. The new color schemes are out and some look bloody beautiful. It's going to take a while before we know who is who in the melee of the seasons first turn. It sure is building to ne one of the great seasons. Then of course there is F1.I cant wait to see how this pans out. Funny having both Hamilton and Marquez tripping over the wire to race in the Big Red Italian teams. Both very exciting that's for sure. Plus we have the bonus of Liam Lawson racing along Max in a top team. Big the pressure is on him that's for sure. But I read that he's on $3 million a year, so not at all to shabby. Try watching on U Tube how F1 teams make their money, it's ludicrous the amounts that get thrown about. Some fines in F1 are bigger than the yearly salaries of MotoGP riders. So got the NDR coming up in a few weeks here in town. I've been fortunate enough to be loaned an S2 that's been turned into a GT for the ride in, so that is something to look forward to.. I've also committed to the ride down south, I wasn't sure for a number of reasons, but I thought "you know what, fuck it I dont and shouldn't care about side issues and just enjoy myself". So that's what I'm doing. I've also tentatively committed to a trip to Japan at some stage to look for a few more bikes, but at the present that situation is a bit wobbly to say the least. I've just come back from Wellington as well.as I've been there to check on my treatments and to have some more tests done. Turns out these trial drugs are working wonders with me and my bloods look almost like a normal persons do, so that was a great surprise to me, and I think I smiled all the way back to Tauranga. And I haven't had much to smile about in the last three years. So speaking of making you smile here is this months installment for your enjoyment.

Still a very very attractive motorcycle. You wont hear me say that about too many Honda's, but this one is lovely

S'fuuny how the old race bikes look a whole lot tidier and smoother and cleaner than their modern day cousins
