Gawd bless fast shutters speeds and even faster snappers

Just rev it out and drop the clutch

"Of course I know what I'm doing"

That Stoner vs. Pedrosa moment in full

If you don't want to see the result, look away now.
Pause the coverage of MotoGP and scan through it in super-slow-mo, look closely and you'll see this frame as Stoner tucks the front. Well, it was there on my footage, anyway..

New Triumph superbike on the cards
By Visordown News on 04/12/2008 09:28:37
Spaniards say a tasty big-bore Triumph's on the way
