MotoGP champion Casey Stoner says he will consider a V8 Supercars career in Australia when he hangs up the leathers at the end of 2012.

Stoner, who also won the world title in 2007 with Ducati, became a father for the first time in February when his wife Adrianna gave birth to a baby daughter, and he announced Thursday that he will retire after the 2012 season to spend more time with his family.

Not an original color, but it is nearby and the price is right. No idea what the mileage is though...

Wrong color, a few mods I don't like. Nice low mileage. We'll see how this goes:

Not so much shopping as it is wishful thinking.

One of the trainers that is preparing the training materials for the Application that I designed was out last week. Met him today, and he said he was out because his nephew died. This guy had started riding about an year ago and the sad thing is that the person that caused the accident is also someone that is known to the family. Very tragic. Per his uncle (my trainer), he was decked up in complete safety gear.

State police said that around 5:30 on Saturday afternoon, Turan's 2001 Triumph was hit by a 2005 Subaru making a left-hand turn from Falls Mills Road onto Route 10. The driver was 48-year-old Betsy Clark of Delhi. Turan had severe injuries from the collision, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police are investigating the crash.

Sorry to hear this.

People turning left in front of motorcycles is the number one motorcycle accident. Knowing that, I pay close attention to oncoming traffic at intersections. I had two drivers within a half hour today, try to change lanes into me on the expressway. My "spidey sense" warned me and I was able to avoid an accident. You really have to be aware of your surroundings and anticipate issues when you ride.
