The Honda is the clear number 1 bike... Rossi held the lead for half the race on the number 2 bike, and managed to keep Marquez behind him under pressure without making a mistake. He also started 5th on the grid..

And they hardly 'walked away' from him, he was only around a second behind

9 on the trot now

Starting from pit lane, in horrible conditions, with a team mate who excels here, in his second year on the bike amazing

If you take Lorenzo out of the 2013 race results, he would have won almost all the remaining races That's just unbelievable.

I'd be shocked if (excluding accidents) he loses more than twice for the rest of the year Who has dominated like this? in their second year?!?! Love this kid

I've rented houses, stayed in caravan parks, even flown down on the day & hired cars.

If there's a few of you; renting a holiday house on the island can be pretty good value.

Went down with 5 mates for WSBK; rented a 5 bedroom house for 5 days, cost us $250 each. Walking distance to Cowes, either a bus ride or a short ride to the circuit.

Dependent on whether you plan to drink at the circuit.

Look on Stayz.com or lastminute.com, they aren't hard to find. Obviously as the time approaches choices become more limited.

It's loads of fun; being up close and seeing those guys run deep into turn 1 is pretty epic.
The noise of the MotoGP bikes up close is indescribable; not like Top Fuel for example, but pretty awesome.

As an event, I prefer WSBK; it's waaay more laidback, and bike riders get special treatment at the circuit (you can ride your bike around inside; even parking close to spectator areas) on Friday & Saturday; you can ride you bike right up to the fenceline.
Whereas at MotoGP, you get treated like every other mutt, and have to park outside and walk around inside. Everything is much more serious, and geared to the corporate side.

Obviously MotoGP draws a much bigger crowd over the weekend, so it would be more difficult logistically, but the vibe at WSBK is much nicer.

Do yourself a favour & get down to Isola restaurant in Cowes if you can; all the Italian teams eat there, so you can potentially be rubbing shoulders with the riders.
Fantastic food, great prices, top atmosphere, not pretentious at all. The wait staff weren't too shabby when we were there too...

Get down there; you won't regret it. ;)

Wish I was going down, but I'll be there for WSBK next year.

FORZA VALE!!!!!!!!!

This is one race Marquez more than likely would not have won anyway, he was pushing well past the limit of the Honda at this track to even stay with Rossi

A well deserved win for Rossi, and what better place to do it...For the home crowd and for Simoncelli

A few big offs, Iannone, Rossi and Pedrosa.. No idea why Marquez stayed out so long, but I guess he thought the rain would clear and the 40 seconds lost swapping bikes wasn't worth it if he could just cruise around for a few laps...

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
