apoligies for dragging you off on sharp tangent H21 ;D. but fully agree with your sentiments. looked like a case off target fixation (with rossis rear wheel) he had to run off track to avoid hitting it.for someone who apparently has the first bike with engine mapping which knows every corner of the track and adjusts the engine characteristics accordingly to fall off at walking pace and then blame the bloke in front beggars belief. ::).......as for the kid speeding,dont know all the circumstances so  :-X....which makes a change i know. ;)

The device measures real-time speed every 30 seconds and can be configured to send an email message to the owners if the car reaches speeds of 70mph or over.

Crikey! If they'd been around when I was 18 my parents would have had a pretty full inbox.  :-X

I guess if you're arguing between 62 and 45 MPH accuracy of +/- a few MPH doesn't really come into it. Something has clearly gone very wrong with one of the measurements and I guess the GPS will have logged his speed for a period before and after the event in a form that he couldn't have tampered with. If that shows him pootling along at 45MPH it becomnes difficuly to argue that he was doing 62.

Just had a dig about for the original story and can't find it - so I'll shut up about that one.

Moto GP was fantastic. Valentino Rossi is a legend in the making. IMO.
Moto GP is just so much more exciting than F1.
The Rossi and Stoner battle was great to watch.Sometimes F1 can be like watching paint dry.
