Once again Marc Márquez shows what an amazing rider he is. I just watched yesterday’s French MotoGP. Starting 13th, Marc finished 2nd. A brilliant ride on a year old bike. He has signed a one year contract with the team he’s on. Rumour has it, for next year he may move to the factory Ducati team, or he may ride a factory sponsored Ducati on his current team.
For 2026, apparently there will be some MotoGP rule changes. The bikes are getting too fast for the tracks. And because of geography and other factors it isn’t feasible to change the tracks to support the speeds. So rumour has it that displacement will drop to 850 cc’s. Also they’ll likely eliminate the ride height variability and launch control.
A family member of mine , with a recent health scare, has decided to curtail his riding after recent purchase of this machine. Extended to full 3 yr unlimited mileage warranty after warranty work that took 3.5 months for parts. Many extras and factory options.
This song is a story of unrequited love. The singer is looking for somebody, anybody frankly that he can fall in love with. There is some really good harmony here too.
Glad you're making progress on the old girl. I have a habit of lubing the various cables each spring, prior to the first ride. Worked well, so far. Over the years I've accumulated a box full of good used cables, throttle, choke, etc. Even have a number of Hydraulic Brake lines I've rescued. If anyone needs something like that contact me with details. It will only cost you the mailing fee.
