Re: hid kit

Those cheaper HID kits from China don't seem to have much quality control either.
Lamp will sometime fail to ignite.
Most people report 12 months use and they die.

On the upside, you are much more noticeable in day time riding. Which has to be good.

Re: This will make the MotoGP race interesting!

This is what Lorenzo had to say about the incident, in his own words: "I braked too late and Marc was coming out of the pit lane so we touched and we were lucky to avoid crashing. We were both at fault. He did not look who was coming, but it was 50/50. The one who is already on track should hav...

Re: This will make the MotoGP race interesting!

Just watched the ariel replay again... Marquez never crossed the white line that runs out of pit lane exit, there is no noticeable "Move Over"...but as you say, he could have kept more left.... it was just a racing incident the way i see it now. Unless perhaps one planned in advance??? May...

Re: This will make the MotoGP race interesting!

On the pit exit conundrum... That one is actually even simpler... Marques was at fault, 100%, and should be penalized, no matter if he was black flagged or not... It doesn't matter if you see someone when you enter the track or not... If you have ridden one lap of the track, you know damned well th...

Re: Posting on an Android phone

Problem is not as simple as it might seem. Try a process of elimination. Does it only happen with TapTalk over your 3G/4G connection or also when you use TapTalk via WiFi?? Its quite common for TapTalk servers to suffer from 3G latency during posting. Hence timeout issues and double posts etc. I als...

Re: This will make the MotoGP race interesting!

I think 3 riders in the end were Black Flagged for missing the pit window. Seemed an overly tough penelty. Making the Pit Window 3 laps would have been fairer on all. And I thought the same on Marquez rejoining the track too. But then watched the footage again and I now see it differently. He was lo...

Re: Moto GP (SPOILER)

Very wet day at the track today, wind, rain and hail. All the International Riders are freaking out, thinking not another wet race, but the weather is meant to clear. If anything, its a good sign it is wet today, should fine for the weekend. Just watched Marquez give a really good interview with Dar...

Re: Brits in Moto GP 2014

I'd like to see where the poster got his information on MotoGP in Australia having 70% less viewers! That seems like total BS to me. ONE HD (the Australian MotoGP broadcaster) has a huge following. Marquez is the new golden child of MotoGP.... interest in the sport is still just as strong. Sales hav...

There is the 3 Day Forecast for the Phillip Island MotoGP.

Looking good, so long as Sunday holds out.
Saturday will be a perfect day at the track, light North winds are warm and push the riders down the straight.

Re: Moto GP (SPOILER)

Yeah i follow it... Not from websites either.

He has no place in this years PI GP, if he were to knock a points leader off it is totally unfair.

Lap of Honour and Hall of Fame induction and a bit of work for ONE HD.
