    His bike is like my kid's lego: It just pops apart. :lol3

    Worked on it last June, helped a little fixing an electrical gremlin that appeared after a little mishap he had. :D

    Yep but he is far back so the time isn't a huge factor for him. CdP is changing his motor....Marek must be busy as well then. Him donating the evening to the changing his motor instead of resting is more or as much of a sacrifice as the time penalty is. The risk he is taking of ending his rally tomorrow if the motor seizes (which sounds like its a good possibility due to pieces being loose in it) is the biggest sacrifice he is making.

    The factory boys better do a number on his bike if he makes tomorrow.

    "Laissez le moto avec nous, we feex like-a da new. Promise."

    Would be a fair deal. His rest day really would be one. Sounds like he'll have earned it.

    I can confirm, Dabrowski is a customer, therefore it's his bike (only Orlen member running the unit)!
