    Thought it might be easier to have all the main series threads as a sticky for the entire season instead of one every round....

    So here it is!

    Get posting folks....

    Proves how versatile the FireBlade is though.

    Road bike, touring bike, off roader...

    I enjoyed it that much that I've decided that I'm going to get my asre in gear and got to see WSB at some point this year. Quite fancy Silverstone. MotoGP need to take a look at the likes of BSB and WSB, the races are so much more entertaining.

    aye i certainly want to get to another round now. silverstone now looking likely. did one of the eurosport presenters not say there was more action yesterday than a year of motogp. even the support races were great. good to see jimmy storrer from perth flying in the national superstock 1000 races, 2 seconds. also some buzz when sam lowes won.

    I don't think Bradley Smith would be suited for a Superbike to be honest, but put him on a supersport bike and by geez would he be tearing up the time sheets.

    I honestly think it would be a mistake to put him on a motogp bike next year. He needs to build up a little first. Maybe give him another year in moto2 and see how he goes from there.

    I think Scott Reading is more deserving of a MOTOGP ride than Bradders.
    But in all honesty, neither are ready IMO.
    I would like to see Ian Hutchinson in WSB next year though.

    Is Hutchy fit for riding? Genuinely thought he was written off with his leg since his last break.

    Ps genuinely interested, not a snide question.

    He seems to think he will be.
    He was at my local bike shop last wednesday for an interview along with John Mc, Michael Rutter and Sam Lowes.
    His leg is still pretty bad, but he seems optimistic and reckons he has the offer. Dont know who from though.
