Hard to imagine how anyone could think otherwise. I recall World 500cc Champion Eddie Lawson was such a staunch helmet advocate, he wouldn't let anyone take a photo of him sitting on a bike without a helmet.

Whew! We just avoided a drought.

Crikey, you get 2 or 3 races that don't suit your time zone? Poor you. Here in New Zealand we get up at 2 or 3 am for most races. Australia at a convenient 5pm is a pleasant start to the season.

5 days now. The forecast rain didn't happened.

Weirdly enough, at about the same time, here in New Zealand, there was a company selling kits to turn your shitty, 4 door, Holden Kingswood into a Firebird. They were as hideous as you could imagine.

Don't panic. Rain is forecast for this afternoon

I watch pretty much all of the races in the wee small hours here in New Zealand. Nice to have one of two races close to my time zone.

My dog does handstands when she pees. Walks forward with both back feet in the air.

How hard is it to get the math right ffs?

He really isn't very good at math.

Yup, Markwayne is dumb as a box of rocks.

On many cars, pressing the button a second time disables the interior motion sensor. I use this when I have my dogs in the car.

What an idiot. Perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Thinks being rich means he's a genius when it just means he's got a rich dad.

The amazing thing about American cars, pre about the mid 1970s is that they facelifted every year so you can easily identify a 57 Chevy from a 55 or 56 for example. Most modern cars are facelifted every 4 years so a 2020 model will be identical to a 2024

Really? What a stupid idea. Many of the greatest motorcycle races I've ever seen have been at Philip Island. It is a fantastic circuit for bikes.

I'm fairly confident that there isn't a 10 metre section on that track that I haven't crashed on.

"Wicked Game" is the ringtone on my phone when my wife calls

I've owned two of those. Really excellent cars, great fun to drive and only one of them caught fire.

Just about threw up when I heard someone on midday report saying how good she was.

I got my licence on one of those back in 1975. Excellent bike

I recall reading an article on climate change, sometime in the 1990s, that predicted Dunedin's climate would become similar to Hawkes Bay in 30 years or so. Seemed like that wouldn't be too terrible but now I'm, 'not like that!'

I was counting them up on my way home from Christchurch the other day thinking how many to edit on my next trip. 'Paris agreement is trying to save the planet'

My friend, Lewis Hamilton, will present me with two of his F1 World Championships. I'm pretty sure I deserve them. In fact maybe I should have three.

My wife's electric Mini sounds a lot like a Tardis

QOTD: What car do you want most, but know it would be an absolutely miserable experience to own?

Front page of ODT this morning is a very strange picture. Not one of the cops is looking at the guy with his hands up. Looks like he's just been photoshopped in there.

True, but your volume of accumulated junk tends to increase at about 110% of the rate at which your storage does.

It's why he absolutely hates comedians like Colbert and Kimmel. They really get under his thin skin.
