Its unfortunate fate of Casey Stoner. Australian rider who won the pole position can only be cursed cynic, when Valentino Rossi trip him in the corner. But the problem is that when making a late-braking, the front motor skid Rossi and Stoner eventually made ​​in positions that do not exactly come fall.

This condition makes Stoner unwilling to continue the race and chose to go in his pitbox, while Rossi chose to continue the race.

But quite controversial is because the whole Marshal who was there, it seems only concerned Rossi, while Stoner unpunished. "Someone should explain this,"said Livio Suppo, Repsol Hondas marketing manager.

At the beginning of Valentino Rossi and his crew move into the Yamaha team in 2004, was the only person who talked about the optimism that victory will be achieved by Rossi is Jeremy Burgess. Chief mechanic at the Italian camp was reaping the truth when the first series race at the circuit Welkom, South Africa 2004 was held over. The Doctor won by a landslide, but how about this 2011 season?

Its May Motorcycle Awareness Time again. All the major publications are advising motorists to watch out for motorcycles. But the military has the same problem on its bases. At Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey, they take extra precautions to train their personnel in safe riding techniques and to promote safe riding including wearing proper protective riding apparel. Heres an excerpt from an article on their website by Staff Sgt. Carlton Anthony:

"No one expects to be seriously injured or die in a motorcycle mishap when Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst warriors begin hitting the roadways. Unfortunately, every spring the number of motorcycle mishaps spike due to several factors: inexperience, risky riding, alcohol, speed, distractions and fatigue. All these factors are preventable and may lead to fewer accidents during this time of year." -- Staff Sgt. Carlton Anthony

Via: Spy Shot: Honda New Mid Concept in Action. The scooter-ish prototype was photographed road testing along with the forthcoming Crosstourer adventure-touring mount and another mystery model which appears to be a CBF entry level mount making use of Honda’s dual-clutch transmission.

Spy shot specialists Brenda Priddy & Company acquired the photos after the three rides were seen testing in Europe this past week. The spy photo doesn’t exactly clarify the nebulous market segment targeted by the NMC, as it was seen testing with a two-up pillion, as well as saddlebags and a topcase. Shall we all hail a new sport-scooter-touring class anyone?

The New Mid Concept was one of three prototypes introduced by Honda at the 2010 EICMA Milan Bike Show. Difficult to classify, Honda PR described Mid Concept as a model that “reinvents the way we look at two-wheeled travel.” The grandiose statement was applied to a what looked to us like a giant near step-thru maxiscoot – something along the lines of the Yamaha T-MAX. (Stay tuned, by the way, for MotoUSA’s first-ever maxiscoot comparison review, which is currently in the works.)


The camouflaged prototype shares the same silhouette as the NMC revealed at Milan. The prototype reveals feet-forward maxi-scoot ergos and rolls on what appear to be motorcycle-spec wheel sizes. The initial Milan concept touted conventional 17-inch wheels, though the prototype’s spoke pattern differs from the concept and looks identical to the hoops adorning the reputed dual-clutch equipped CBF also snapped by BP&C
