For sure, and that may be where he excels. Would make sense, as they kept him around as a test rider. I believe he is also contributing the Shell Asia Talent Cup, so he has his hands in many places. Just couldn't seem to produce results on Sunday, I guess.

Oh, ha. Yeah. I don't really understand how he managed to keep himself in the GP for so long, either. I suspect it had something to do with being the only Japanese rider on the grid.

Mm = Marc Marquez I want to add Lorenzo to the mix, but he's not had a good showing at COTA. Iannone and Lorenzo for 4 and 5.

Beggars can't be choosers, and HRC were in a bind. Crutchlow is LCR's hot ticket item (and the Monster/RedBull rider/team sponsors pretty much rules it out), Stoner doesn't want to race GP (though what a showing that would be), and the WSBK guys are racing the same weekends with expectations to...

He said it himself, "this is going to sound like an excuse", when discussing it in a post-race interview. But just check out the photo in this article, the padding definitely fell over his eyes. If anything, I'm impressed he managed to keep going at all with that in his face...

This type of **** should most certainly be an HTA violation. It is the most senseless and selfish impediment to traffic. If you can't clear the intersection before the light changes, DON'T MOVE INTO IT! Sitting there with your thumb up your *** and a look on your face like it couldn't be...

Pardon my cynicism, my experience through four and half years of post-secondary was not the rose-coloured ride I was lead to believe it would be. Degrees are now a commodity, they are not at all what they used to be. Everyone and their dog gets churned through the machine to come out with...

That's definitely the best practice. No need to advertise that information. Despite that, how long were you away for? Had you told anyone you were going away? Did you drive away? Walk out of the building with luggage? If it was a short trip, the timing would be rather coincidental. Perhaps...

Cancelled is a strong word. It's been suspended until investigations are complete. I doubt they are going to toss the material they already have over this. Also, Clarkson was on his last strike (ha!) with the BBC prior to this incident. The producer could have shook his hand after the...

"Trying" is a strong word.

The more you know.

Let's have a chat. The pure idea of Mars One makes gives the fuzzies. Excuse my capital letters, I just get excited talking about space travel. The fascination? It's the glory! To be the first person to travel to, step on, and even LIVE on Mars. Another planet! We could FINALLY say that...

The carbs on the Ninja 250s are notoriously lean from the factory, making cold weather starts sometimes painful. The re-jet is a small modification meant to allow for a more fuel-rich mixture in the cold. The owner may claim to have re-jetted the carbs, and a cold start (if going to look at the...

Happy to help! I can't speak to the PR3s, I hadn't given them a serious look once I determined they didn't come in matching sizes for the 250. With respect to the images you put up - do you know if those were the tires which were shipped with the bike when it was new? Check the DOT date code...

Michelin's position is that the Pilot Radial Street is their purpose-built small displacement tire. For bikes with rear rims from 120-150, I believe. You CAN fit a 140, or even a 150 onto the 250's 130 rim, but it's not typically advised. And I wouldn't be too troubled by the marketing...

I suppose you could squeeze a 150 rear on, but that's foolish in my opinion. The Pilot Streets are cheaper, and a fantastic tire in their own right. Designed to fit, with light, small displacement bikes in mind. EDIT - You mentioned front, which does appear to come in the 110. OP could do a...

Something to keep in mine, only the Pilot Street Radial will fit your 250R. The Pilot Road 3 does not come in small enough sizes to fit the 250 - as is the case with just about the rest of Michelins line which you may be interested The Pilot Street, from my experience, is a fantastic wet tire...

Wow, I didn't even realize you had to go that far - although I would say getting the rear wheel off is the easiest thing, compared to the headache the carbs are on these 250's. At worst, you'll be wrestling with the axle nut until you're blue in the face. If you are getting the box out from...

It's a dude on a scooter, carrying a folded bicycle. I mean, just ride the damn bicycle.

Getting to the airbox to change the filter on the 250 is a pretty simple task. Getting access to it in order to clean it out is a lot more trouble. You will need to get the battery out, and at least disconnect the carbs from the airbox. At that stage, you might just want to pull the carb out...
