Sepang #MotoGP test update, pit lane notes:

Everyone started on last year's bikes. Just started runs on newer stuff not so long ago.
Aprilia have the aero they showed at Milan, plus a different tail and massive leg wings.

Two facts I find amazing: 1) 125 years since its founding, Indian Motorcycles has been around for half of all U.S. history; 2) the Indian trademark has now changed hands 19 times. The latest sale closed today. #motosky #motorcycle news at Common Tread www.revzilla.com/common-tread...
Ownership of Indian Motorcycles officially changes hands - RevZilla
The sale by Polaris of a majority stake in the Indian Motorcycle Company completes ahead of schedule, with new owners Carolwood LP taking control.

My best friend died 2 months ago aged 30. Yesterday we had his memorial. It was a beautiful day but, because he didn't have a will, his estranged family took his body away from us. His partner of 13 years doesn't know when or where he was buried. Please please make a will x
