I've been watching the motorsports industry and looking for signs of PO.

Looks like Eddie Jordan sold up at the right time. Sharp as a tack, that one.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he titanium shortage may be related to an increase in Chinese purchasing of the relatively rare substance


in this article (GlobalCorp) its mentioned how China is causing shortages from stockpiling commodities for when the time comes that oil is too expensive to import them. Interesting to see it confirmed from an unrelated source

The article is one of those "connect the dots" proof of PO that always scare the crap out of me (when I did my first connect the dots exercise I couldn't sleep for two days). I think this article is a must read for everyone
Angry yet?

Ahhhhh … "Roadracing World" … great magazine! I had a subscription for years back in the mid to late 90’s.

I found it comical that the editor/publisher gave so much ink to his kid.

Ya … you’re 17 and race a hyped 250. Ya … your Dad owns a renowned roadracing magazine, has drug you to every track in the nation, and exposed you to every facet of superbike racing since you were 2.

yawnnnnn

I was clappin' like a madman when I witnessed the "old fart" Oliver smoke the "whiz kid" Ulrich at Mid Ohio in 2000.

Oliver was amazing ... he just embarassed people at Mid Ohio on the 250's
