Apparently Rizla Suzuki will be running a special livery on Chris V's bike in honor of Barry Sheene.

I'm not so sure about the Yamaha colours this year... This one is alright, but I don't really like the chequered part at the front.

I'm liking Yamaha's livery for this weekend.
As for predictions, I wouldn't mind seeing Vermeulen win it if it has to be an Aussie. The locals would be happy to know that Hayden says he looks forward to this race all year. Hope he goes well. Would like to see the ex champ bag a win this year. I'm also keen to see how Chaz Davies goes here. Secretly hoping he betters Baros. Last edited by jhansen; 11 Oct 2007 at 15:59. |

 how about an all aussie podium in the wet  ...** also, keep an eye out for cam donald, #86 wild card in the 250cc race. he comes from the same town that i play cricket in & he has "big kahuna's" - could be a bayliss (rgv 98) type ride, here's hoping anyway... |

Well done. |

its saturday qualifying day and just looking at the radar it seems there is some rain around but not alot has fallen at PI as of yet.
I dont think there will be alot of it just the occasional passing shower if any at all (Now watch as a huge antartic storm blows in and eats the island completely) |

The Australian broadcast just gave an interesting statistic by Jerry Burgess. He said that since he and Rossi and his crew left Honda, HRC have only won six races.
