I work in pharmaceutical labs every day doing shitty jobs like cleaning glassware with methanol and not once have I ever thought ‘this’d go great with some soda’. Kids are dumb as hell.

Jesus, the Clarkson fanboys frothing at the mouth over any negative press is almost as cringe worthy as the BBC’s meddling in the show.

Yeah I’m with everyone else who prefers to bring their own helmet. On one occasion have I used a lid supplied by the folks at the track and it fucking stank. Never, ever again. 9 times out of 10 I ride to a track on my motorbike anyway so it’d be daft not to use my own.

The rear of the P1 is what does it for me. It's sublime.

That 3-way battle was so awesome.

For me personally, this is a case of the designer refusing to put his pencil down. Way too over-designed for my liking. There’s just far too much going on.

Called it!

MT with an R1 engine I reckon

I was lucky enough to have a friend who had an IT position in the Marussia garage during that season so I got some of his swag when he left.

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

I'm going as a priest. Hoping to pull off a Father Ted look.

Ahh, not very far from at all! Thanks!

Whereabouts is it based at? I've got a fully fuelled bike, blue skies and nowhere to go this weekend. Would prefer to see the Vulcan than the painting and decorating I had planned.

Agreed. Looks like a cheap decal kit.

Yup, the matchmaking is an absolute shit show.

That thing is hideously over designed.

People have had them for fucking decades. Chill out.

This might be the dumbest thing I have ever seen.

I wear all of my gear where I go. Arai lid, Furygan leather jacket, Maple Kevlar jeans, Alpinestar S-Max+ boots and Wolf gloves. I love in the UK where helmets are mandatory but even if that was the case I can't imagine ever not wearing one.

Every time I read Bike Magazine I want to jump onto my bike. That publication is physical proof that motorcycle journalism isn't broken.
