    Davy Morgan rip. Absolute legend of road racing, been in the paddock for as long as I've been following road racing.

    Thanks for the memories Davy.

    The bikes are not getting any slower

    Think it was that muppet Fogarty that first broke 120

    Johnathan rea knocked off him off his perch anyhow

    Will there be any motor bike racing in Ireland this year?

    The lack of insurance seems to be the death knell of the sport. If we lose it for one year I don't think we will ever get it back.

    The sport hasn't been helped by people involved in it taking insurance claims. Surely we know the dangers if we're racers.

    The Calendar in the six Counties is gone anyway. Not certain about road racing planned in the Republic.

    Oh you say that but you wouldn't believe some of the stuff I have seen.

    Mondello motorbike circuit racing is now gone for 2023.

    Toprak off to BMW! Didn't see that coming after him testing the MotoGP bike with Yamaha.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 714 ✭✭✭Magown3


    Seriously? Wow, also didn’t see that coming. VDM out the door then?

    I wish JR was as ruthless with his moves. Stayed too long on the Honda by at least 2 years and I feel like it’s the same now with Kawasaki.

    or is everyone just waiting/hoping for Alvaro to retire!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭GavPJ


    I get ya! I really hope Kawasaki aren't stringing JR along the way Honda did.

    I think he is hoping he will be allowed get back the full rev range but even if that

    happens I can't see Bautista getting beaten.

    I normally go to Portimao for this, but the flight this year alone is €305!!!

    TT Live is well worth the subscription.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,957 ✭✭✭kirk.


    Ya i was going to but I like the TT twitter feed and manx radio commentary

    Just seen upthread there i was drunk posting on Fogarty a while back. He's not the worst, TT legend himself just a touch of arrogance about him

    They're all legends and TT is growing all the time in status



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭GavPJ


    I sometimes have the radio commentary on when watching it. Chris Kinley is brilliant.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,957 ✭✭✭kirk.


    AI can never replace the likes of Sylvain , laverty and hodgson on bt sport thankfully



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 154 ✭✭roroliam


    Well done Michael, more to come over the week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,957 ✭✭✭kirk.


    Man and machine versus road . There's no one better



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 154 ✭✭roroliam


    Made up for Mike Brown. Fantastic result and brilliant to see Eddie Laycock fettling the bike.

    Hi all,

    Just curious to know which series are bike fans into at the present!

    MotoGP or WSBK

    To be honest I follow both, but do find that World Super Bikes is currently, especially over the past three years more exciting then MotoGP.

    Maybe because of the Toprak, Bautista & Rea battles!

    Moto gp for the commentary and the sprint plus Marquez is back making it interesting



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭GavPJ


    Still both. But the combination of Bautista and the Ducati being unbelievable is making it a bit boring.

    The Kawasaki is really poor, even Alex Lowes has had enough and is finished with them at the end of

    the year. Toprak to BMW can only be a good thing.

    But my favourite series at the minute and has been for a long time is BSB.

    Good race there



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,957 ✭✭✭kirk.


    Dunno he can't compete anyhow with Ducati

    A few flashes like Marquez is doing with a pole position



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,957 ✭✭✭kirk.


    Will these changes on the revs make much difference this weekend, not too well up on the technical side of it

    Was getting a bit boring the ducati pulling away
