So much so that I had intended to purchase a new Honda Motorcycle this week but have instead chosen another brand which is not tarnished by Marquez’s unsportsmanlike behaviour! Had I been in Valentino Rossi’s place I would have really tipped this spiteful child of the bike as soon has his nasty… Read more »
