You can't ride a Honda and support Yamaha. Nooit.

Pedrosa FTW!

Rough about the accident, was it a write-off?

Nope, no insurance claim. Damage was about R 12k give or take.

I support the rider (Which use to ride Honda) :p

I have till date not seen a Yamaha with a Doctor sticker on :D It's a Honda thing....

Speaking of shifting, coming down from a couple of thousand revs and popping the clutch is one of the most awesome sounds ever. Nothing like a powerful blip.

But isn't this dangerous to the engine, or is it only old man speak?

I suppose it's only dangerous if you lose control and bail. Honda engines are like Opel engines... they'll go on until they actually find the horizon.

Depends on my drive-style - the auto gearbox adapts based on how hard I put my foot down. :D

Relaxed conditions - around 3000RPM. When I'm in a hurry - 6000 - 7000RPM.
