Moto GP round 12 indianapolis

Should be a good race always is usualy raining heavy its on BBC 3 at 7:45 - 9 pm

Could go either way could be the return of Nicky hayden or more to the point its more then likly gonna be the leader Rossi hes 50 points a head he could just not be arsed tonight and just take it easy and still be points leader by a long shot

But either way should be a good race so get watching

Rossi don't work like that, He's got a job to do and he gets on with it not sit on his laurels.

yeh you where right gris till he fell off should have just taken 2nd place

go lorenzo at the mo he leads with 10 sec ahead of 2nd

Lerenzo won the race witha huge lead of 13 secs and also hayden made it to podium in 3rd

Good to see Hayden up there I was rooting for Edwards on the podium. But it didn't come to pass. Thankfully using the power of my finger, I managed to push Pedrosa off the track. I am simply amzing.

gris Gris so it is u that i have to blame for that then was rooting for pedrosa all the way but he still came back and finished although he made up some places yeh shame bout edwards the texas tornado


did think hayden looked really funny in his new leathers and bike lol

but well done to Toseland best over all in 6th :)

1926 magazine cover featuring a Douglas motorcycle in the Isle of Man TT





Douglas had some success in motorcycle racing and trials events.
Twelve Douglas motorcycles were entered in both the Junior TT and
Senior TT, and another three were in the Sidecar race during the 1923 TT. This gave Douglas their first Isle of Man TT victories. Tom Sheard won the 500 cc Senior TT^[3] and they won the first ever Isle of Man Sidecar race with Freddie Dixon^[4] while Jim Whalley had the fastest lap in the Senior TT with a time of just under 60 mph (97 km/h) during a wet race.^[5]
A Douglas also placed third in the Junior TT that year. Later in 1923
Jim Whalley won the French Grand Prix, a distance of 288 miles
(463 km), and another Douglas won the 1923 Durban-Johannesberg Marathon
race; a remarkable achievement by Percy Flook on a 2.75 hp
machine with an average 43 mph (69 km/h) for 430 miles (690 km). 1923
also saw Jim Whalley win the Spanish 12-hour race and Alec Bennett won
the 1923 Welsh TT race.^[5]

Very cool! Just looking at the speed of his lap (60mph), amazing how the machines have developed over the years and the speeds that they do them in now

Not yet I haven't been dragged to the IOM yet. Him in doors wants to go, so no doubt I'll end up invading it sometime.

I'd only go as I love the purple helmets and their antics.
