yep definetly,if i still had my r6 i'd do the same.

toying with doing a sheene rep on the gixxer if i get new plastics for it,could be a good winter project

With the sheene scheme I'd definately do the black and red paint job, if I can find a pic of the bike i saw, I'll pm it to you if you like

Rossi's reply for today

Valentino Rossi - Position: 4thTime: 1'31.934Laps: 45

"The Weather today was unbelievable and the track went from wet to dry four or five times, which made it very difficult to understand. The conditions definitely weren't the best, especially because it was very, very cold. Despite this it was not a bad day; we worked well, tried several different settings and found some good tyre possibilities to keep going with tomorrow. In fact we tried quite a lot of tyres, wet and dry, and our level for the first day in this respect is not so bad, although we will be in better shape if we have a little bit more temperature. At the end we are fourth but it's okay, especially considering that we have a few problems still to deal with, including not enough weight on the front which means I'm not yet fast enough in the long corners. We have some ideas about how to improve on things for tomorrow. I love this track a lot and it's always a great feeling to ride here and with the 800 it is no different. Of course today it wasn't the best conditions to be riding in or to fully enjoy the track, but hopefully tomorrow will be better."

He also confirmed that Yamaha were not using their new pneumatic valve engine in Australia.

"We have some small different parts, but we're using the normal valves," Rossi said. "I don't know if we will use the new valves another time before the end of the year. Maybe Malaysia, maybe not. It depends if they fix the problems."

sorry tom but i dont like it,guess im too much of a tradionalist as that scheme doesnt suit the angles of the bike like the old ones.

some reps look good some dont, cusworth bikes were doig the same model in a lucky strike guise and it didnt look right either in my eyes

Blimey · Post by **Blimey** » Oct 14th, '07, 19:20

Yeah it was awesome. I know where i can find some pics somewhere but will be off line now for at least a week, so you will have to wait

Can't say much about the race though, Guess Rossi and Dani did well with what they had

didnt think much off it again, thought the 125s were awesome again, just a shame they dont get the credit or chances that they deserve
