Sorry been awhile since I caught on the fun and adventure thread

Just found One of Motogp, and Ducati's greatest video's and neither company's are behind it.

Cal has signed for Ducati!

I wish him the best and dearly hope they turn a corner as I love seeing Cal up there swapping paint with the best like Barry Sheene

Hey Eh you may like this for a bit of fun and truth !

I follow MTB about as much as Motogp these day's and MTb comes out first mainly due to the fact that I can buy a nice bike!

And in saying so how nice is this promo video ?  The MTB world has promo stuff well and truly sorted compared to about anyone else in the racing world due to the fact they have to work their arse off to get some bucks



I adore how Nigel say's he needs a heart rate monitor to watch his guy's race, and his convo with Sam Hill where he says "Fooking Hell".  Mate the team effort in that video is endearing!

And whilst I am on a roll of Two Wheel Sport!

Rob Warner has to be the Best Commentator going!

As evidenced here on Danny Hart's World Cup Run.  I love some good passion in commentary along with Gen knowledge !!!

[Somamech]

Yeah mate MTB its very addictive !  Even as a spectator as you can watch it all online for free

Redbull Rampage is in Oct this year, one to stay up for whilst watching online for free!

Here's a snippet of 2012 Rampage in the Utah Desert!


I wont drink redbull but heck they sponser good stuff

[Elvis Hendrix]

I hadn't  heard about red bull before.
I thought it was like Pepsi or something.
So one night just before goin on I necked 2 cans.
I nearly had a bloody anxiety attack.

Thought I would add this here as one member awhile ago said I should post this. I work on custom RC car/trucks (hobby) and I've nearly completed my latest one which is based on a HPI Savage Flux (My user name)

Still testing and need to make a few changes but getting there.

First video is me fluffing about testing the latest setup so not much action but you can see my front yard and plants



One of the other videos gives an idea of speed while testing in an open space. Tested with a smaller motor and not the current 'beer can' sized motor that is in it now which is able to reach very high speeds. Takes a little while into the video to see it max out (about 2:40 mark):



Some more videos of testing the truck are on my channel.
