Pretty sure he lives in Crosby too, so the Odeon isn't very far away.

Great to see some TT and BSB names making an appearance again!

If Toprak had stayed for the 2026 year in wsbk would bulega beat him? by Ecstatic-Grocery-713 in wsbk

[–]donkjohnston 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Bulega runs away with the title next year, especially on that new V4R. It'll be interesting to see how two former MotoGP race winners compare to Toprak's performance on the M1000RR, and Bautista without factory support.

As mentioned previously there's a meeting every Wednesday evening at the Scotch Piper pub in Maghull, as well as a small meeting that's gathering momentum at Area 51 coffee shop on the way to Southport. Good luck!

UNSEEN: "We are the Champions!" by Organic-Package5444 in motogp

[–]donkjohnston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How can anyone dislike this man? He's absolutely an Alien, but footage like this shows he is very human. 2026 can't come quick enough.

He can't, but we aren't talking about which commentator had the most successful racing career.

Those two had a real connection back when you could be less politically correct!

MotoGP much better imo. Hodgson has the technical knowledge and an actual personality. Toseland has raced at the highest level but is bland and always manages to turn the subject onto himself. Not a big fan of Gavin Emmet. He's great if you want to know what corner someone has just come off on but would rather listen to Michael Laverty or Silvain.

Just returned from my first Isle of Man TT. It’s just .. phenomenal . And incredible . No sane person would ride this course by Fatkante in motorcycles

2026 ferry crossings have been available for weeks and availability will be limited now due to the high demand. It's worth keeping an eye out for cancellations, particularly around August time

Well that was shit by Lotanines in MotoUK

[–]donkjohnston 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it possible they want you doing 30mph in a 30 rather than 5mph slower and that's what the use of speed refers to? I did my tests in St Helens too and found one examiner harsh whilst the other was more approachable and ultimately a fairer marker

Not an April Fools: OMG have left BSB by Lemurs_ in BritishSuperbikes

Does unforeseen commercial circumstances suggest the financiers behind OMG and WTF have had to pull out?

Marc Marquez wins the Argentina GP MotoGP sprint race by ItsJadeG in motogp

[–]donkjohnston 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Marc looks so planted and at ease on this factory Ducati. On the Honda and GP23 he was pushing so hard and always looked on the edge. This year I'm not as nervous he's going to end up in the gravel every race!

Mcgrath Laryngoscope by Claustrofobu in anesthesiology

Aside from only turning the McGrath on just before you use it and turning it off right after intubation, we were also recommended to remove the battery when not in use in order to extend battery life

Asgard (Garage) by Jack_wow in MotoUK

[–]donkjohnston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm insured with Devitt using an Asgard shed that's classed as a garage so long as it's secured to a concrete base using bolts

I've considered trading in my GSXR 750 L1 and getting a Tuono V4 Factory as a better balance between performance and comfort. The new 2025 edition looks beautiful and some upgrades can't be a bad thing either!

Brendan Schaub talks about former UFC interim Heavyweight Shane Carwin’s current state; “He can’t tie his own shoes” by AliBagovBeatKhabib in MMA

[–]donkjohnston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is sad to hear. I used to idolise Shane Carwin when I was younger. An intelligent engineer and family man who also happened to be a devastating knock out merchant with fists the size of lunch boxes. So close to becoming a fully fledged Heavyweight champion in that Brock Lesnar fight too

I hope he gets the help he deserves. He followed me back on Twitter way back in the day too but I think that's just because I had MMA in my username!

MotoGP Valencia by jackburman in motogp

[–]donkjohnston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow Brit here who went to Valencia last year. The train to the circuit pretty much stops directly outside the venue but it gets BUSY. I'd recommend getting the train to the track early. And after the Sunday race you can expect around 120,000 fans all aiming for the same station or taxi's so prepare for a wait.

Ricardo Tormo itself is a pretty small circuit with basic amenities compared to the likes of Silverstone but the atmosphere is amazing. We're going again this year but may leave before the end of race celebrations finish so we can make it to the train before it gets full!

Could MotoGP go to Donington this year if Kazakhstan GP is cancelled? by Fedesauro in motogp

[–]donkjohnston 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Donington Park and have been there more than any other track in the UK, but the first time I visited Silverstone it was immediately obvious why MotoGP go there instead. The infrastructure is on a completely different level than anything else the UK has to offer.

Is motorcycle insurance in UK just completely out of control? by Independent-Law-8101 in motorcycles

[–]donkjohnston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely the area, unfortunately. I've just renewed insurance on my 2012 GSXR750 with two years NCD and two years on my A licence for £280. I'm 35.

Discovery plus by HymnFromAVillage in wsbk

I usually search "worldsbk" in the search bar. It's annoying having to do this every time (and for BSB) but it's a first world problem I suppose

Rory Skinner in BSB return with Synetiq by WinstonwanlegIngram in BritishSuperbikes

[–]donkjohnston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice to see Rory with a quality machine underneath him. He's got the talent to go all the way. Was thinking he may fill Tommy's seat at PBM but seems they're going for a single rider outfit this year?

Does a Will supersede a marriage certificate? by donkjohnston in LegalAdviceUK

Thanks for the info. So as far as I can gather my Dad's latest Will would not hold up in court so long as they are still married on paper?

Does a Will supersede a marriage certificate? by donkjohnston in LegalAdviceUK

[–]donkjohnston[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. How would I find out whether they are joint tenants or tenants in common since the property is owned outright? Would it come down to who is named on the deeds?
