So where is the news like this straight from Colin Edwards himself: "Author: Colin Edwards II (---.txucom.net)

Racefans,
I've been on the phone all morning talking to everyone you can imagine. Everyone who has ties to Honda want me to stay and the rest want to see me at Aprilia. In the end I had to make my own decision. It was very difficult to call my team and say it's not going to happen. All of the things I have posted about Honda"s actions have not been Honda bashing. I've simply stated the facts and events that transpired and let you make your own judgement. I have nothing against my team at Castrol. These are the hardest and best working group of folks I've had the pleasure to be around and I'm going to miss them.
Now a new chapter has begun and I am excited to bring my knowledge, work skills, and Michelin to Aprilia. There you have it in a nut shell. Finally it's over and we can get some sleep.
Colin

Right on, I was hoping he would lean that way. I really wanted someone to help Aprilia bring the cube into contention. The honda show was fun this year but not that fun. Rossi is definitely going to have to earn it next year if he wishes to remain champion. And to think I was so excited last year about this years pending series. Next year is going to be even better, cant wait!!!

>Would you like a cookie or something?<
The only guy I give a cookie to, is a fat and jolly white bearded man who wears a red suit. Laugh if you will, but last year I left a cookie out for him and he gave me a pack of tube socks and a Chia Pet. This year I'm asking for a new Honda CBR600RR, so a whole plate of cookies will be left out for him and some carrots for his hard working reindeer.

I'm no journalist, but I think they call those things "headlines."
according the the american heritage dictionary (thanks, dictionary.com!), a headline is "the title or caption of a newspaper article, usually set in large type..."

How to Bold
Right at the bottom of the 'comment' box when you post a 'comment,' under the heading 'Allowed HTML' there are several HTML tags that the system allows such as (from left to right now)
the p starts a new paragrach with a line in between, then you got your bold, italics, emphasis (which looks like italics to me),
this br thing, which starts a new paragraph without skipping a line, 'strong' (which looks like bold to me), this text, [*] and the 'li' thing produces bullet points like this
I can't figure out how to use 'blockquote,' nor what the 'ol' or 'ul' do. I'm sure someone can fill this in, though.
Just use the letters and bracket things just like they're listed below, and to turn off the italics or bold, etc, just put a forward slash (that's this one: / ) in front of the letters inside the bracket. Don't forget to swith to 'HTML Formated' using the toggle next to the 'Ok!' button.
Now, I'm no HTML wizard, but this is easy enough. Remember, you can use 'Preview' as many times as you like to make sure you've got everything right.

Re: Kick Butt!
please data soon on the SV1000. Will it be make mild or left to kick butt. Also When I get mine (almost a given), I'll be converting over to a race exhaust system for more growl and a little more go. Having never had a fuel injected bike, will I have to have Suzuki remap the FI or go to a power commander or what to adjust the mixture to the open exhaust.
Hope to ride one this Friday at Biketoberfest in Daytona, practically cant sleep thinking about it. Any info about adjusting to the aftermarket exhaust would be appreciated

Way to go John.
You ever been riding down in New Zealand? That would be something to write about as its coming on summer now and you get more than $2 for every US buck. You could drop in on your way home from the Philip Island MotoGP after spending all our subscription money. Just don't go through Bali.
Cheers
