  1. BBC news last week preview on last round "airwaves ducatti" it aint got 2 t's god damn it.
  1. A classic made up story on visordown with chris walker supposidly heading for TAS suzuki, hasnt ridden a suzuki since 2000 .... hmm what about 07 season, do these people whio write this stuff even watch bikes, or research properly?

MCN is the one for that, they produce complete works of fiction. A recent one was an article about a forthcoming Yamaha ZXT1200 Super Tenere complete with photoshop job of XTZ660 with a stretched TDM engine in it. Appears to be no truth in it whatsoever.
