Well, not exactly a rumor mill but it sounds cool!

Well, we all know about Hopper moving to the Green Giants Kawasaki. This is quite a bold move by him as Kwak are yet to fully prove themselves, but they're making a lot of progress and it wouldn't surprise me if they got podiums next season with Hopper on board. Also from the Kwak camp comes news of a 3rd bike. The factory team have said they might run a 3rd bike in the top flight next year. Makes you wonder who would make a move there to ride for them...

Melandri moves from the Honda satallite team, and Elias, to pair up with Stoner at Ducati. Next season shapes up nicely for them as both are young and hard riders. I think our screens will be full of them next year as both have championship winning machines and both have the ability to win.

Capirossi is have a hard time of it. He's upset with Ducati for not telling him about the move of Melandri and only found out through a news conference. Ducati were rumored to have offered him a ride for them but on the D'Antin Ducati... quite rightly he said no. Now currently in talks with Suzuki to fill the hole left by Hopper and Kwak for the 3rd bike ride (above)

Well, this is what I've heard / found out. Anything else out there?

Yamaha FZS 600 Fazer ... in gold! 

Ride safe, and look out for the Rainbow of Death!

There're only 3 kinds of people in the world, those who can count, and those that can't.

Roses are red, Violets are Blue, I'm a schizophrenic ..... and so am I!

Take pity on the man who invented the drawing board, when he screwed up, he had nothing to fall back on.

Stuff everything, I've always got my bike.
