On a slightly more serious note, found this article on a Ducati Facebook site......... hmmmmmm.........I wonder
STONER!!!...... from: (Ninemsn wwos)
Former MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner has fuelled speculation of a return to two wheels after reportedly agreeing to become a test rider for Honda.
The 27-year-old will rejoin Honda for two days in August at the Motegi circuit in Japan, according to news.com.au.
He will ride a prototype of the manufacturer’s RC213V which is being readied for the 2014 season, raising suspicions that he could make some wildcard race appearances.
Stoner, a two-time MotoGP champion, shocked the sport of motorcycling last year when he announced he was switching to V8 Supercars.
His V8s debut at Adelaide's Clipsal 500 in March ended with a crash due to a dodgy front tyre, but he fought back from last on the grid in the second race for a respectable 14th-place finish.
He has previously insisted that he is enjoying his new challenge and had no plans to switch back to MotoGP.
"I miss riding bikes, but that's the only aspect of it," Stoner said in Perth in May.
"A lot of the reasons that I left are definitely deep enough in there that I'm not getting cold feet and wanting to get back on a bike.
"I'm definitely happy with the decision I've made, and to be honest I'm not interested in going back."
Stoner had been a vocal opponent of some of the technical changes made to MotoGP in recent times, particularly the increase in engine sizes from 800cc to 1000cc.
He also questioned the nature of the sport following the death of Marco Simoncelli at the Malaysian MotoGP in 2011.
Stoner said he was now able to enjoy riding motorcycles whenever the opportunity arose.
"Bikes are where my passion will always be. I love riding them," Stoner said.
"Now I actually get to enjoy riding them a lot more because before we didn't have any time to enjoy it and smell the roses.
"It was all focused and serious the whole time."

I doubt he will or ever would return to Ducati. They didn't respect him like Honda did. |

My veal goulash recipe is awesome. Not so much because it tastes good (it does), but because it calls for a cup of red wine, then two hours simmering gently whilst drinking the rest of the bottle.

Wow that's rather embarrassing ......but its a great way to open a bottle of beer. As you can see you have to chose a tight arse(Sir Rob) or you just don't get the grip on the bottle cap. And speaking of embarrassing photos here is a recent one of Teff's show pony the other day he was wondering why it was running so poorly as you can see he pays a lot of attention to the exterior but my god the poor thing is suffering internally   |
