Honda still slow in GP, but they still sell a bunch of bikes https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2025/january/honda-global-sales-figures/
It's not motogp but it is hillarious. https://www.crash.net/bsb/news/1062...ptic-message-prompts-intrigue-over-bsb-return Rich Energy ain't dead, yet.
Not actually sure what that means? Yes, I was definitely joking. On another note, thought of you today while boarding an airplane. Guy in first class had a Lacrosse sweatshirt on. He looked mid 30’s, if he would have been older, I might have asked him if his name was Dave K.
The silver engine cases lead me to believe that is actually an older F3 they built as a showpiece for the brand, and (hopefully) not the bike they plan to race. MV switched to black engine cases around 2017 and it's known that the silver engine case engines are somewhat less reliable than after they switched to black cases. Of course the color is not what makes it more reliable, haha, but it indicates when they made reliability improvements and they haven't used silver cases for the F3 since.
You and me both on 1st class. I figured you were around my age, so that’s why I knew a 30 something guy wasn’t you.
Y'all just have to work the system. If you use an Amex platinum to get 4x points on big purchases, they often have transfer advantages with partner programs. For instance I was able to get 1400 points with Virgin Atlantic for every 1000 points with Amex. The value for both programs is the same, so it's a 40% increase just for timing it right with the programs. Picked up first class tickets to Italy for September for the points equivalent of around $1200! It's like a first class upgrade for a regular coach priced ticket. Especially nice on a long flight. It takes some advance planning and monitoring the rewards transfer program availability, but you can get big benefits. I think right now they're doing 1600 AeroMexico points for 1000 Amex. Pretty much all the others are 1000=1000 right now, but it changes monthly I think.
These might be cool for that. https://forums.13x.com/index.php?th...hlins-fgr-wsbk-gp-race-spec-front-end.388854/
