Re: Moto GP 2012

I would doubt it is about $$$ for Rossi, it would be about re inflating an ego as big as, well, Rossi's

"ambition bigger than talent", maybe Casey got it right

Re: Moto GP 2012

Well that answers that question. Rossi is going for the glory, heading back to Yamaha. He has turned his back on Ducati, after they spent the GDP of a small african nation in trying to make the big red duke a Yamaha clone, He may be one of the best rides of all time, but his spit the dummy attitude ...

Re: Moto GP 2012

So we wait for Rossi again, will he stick it out with Ducati, and maybe a future in car racing with new owners Audi, or head back to Yamaha, with sponsorship money in tow, and try and chase down Ago's 122 race wins If he heads back to Yamaha, do they put him in a 1 bike team, or put him in the same ...

Re: Casey Stoner announces retirement

He turns 27 this year, and started racing dirt bikes at age 4, between the ages of nine to fourteen, Casey had won 41 dirt and long track titles, including 70 state titles. He left Oz for Europe at age 14, so the kid has been racing at a very high level for almost all his life

Re: Casey Stoner announces retirement

Casey spoke to Daryl Beattie for our GP coverage on Sunday night, he gave everyone in the MotoGP organisation a fair old wack, said they were a bunch of back stabbing barstards and he can't wait to get out the door. If he was to continue, it would be for the job. Beattie also indicated he couldn't g...

Re: What motorcycle mags do you read?

Gone off bike mags, they are full of bike i will never be able to afford, tested by riders far better than myself. I use a lot of on-line stuff now, twitter feeds, blogs, Facebook ect. I will occasionally grab a copy of 'cycle torque', a free mag here in oz as it covers things in a general fashion, ...

Re: Casey Stoner announces retirement

I'm not surprised, he said in a press release late last year it was almost time for him to go get a real job!! his main push in that article was the dumbing down of the factory bikes to narrow the gap to the CRT bikes, he said he wanted to ride the best bikes as fast as he could.. I guess when you l...

Re: Moto GP 2012

Schwantz completed only 15 more races from Raineys crash in 93 till his retirement only 3 races in to the 95 season. I noted with interest that Rossi now sports a "58" on his own lid. Like i said, Casey in a good head space, and pushing for world championship 3, Rossi not in such a good head space, ...

Re: Moto GP 2012

Casey, too fast, too strong. A young man with his head in a good space. Lorenzo put in all he could at his attempt to get past Casey last night, he just didn't have to goods to get the job done. Rossi back in 10th, Hayden showed that the Duke is making good progress, and is not a bike 2sec off pole....

Re: Moto GP 2012

Told you to watch out for the Tech3 guys, they might as well enjoy it while they can as their bike would be almost identical to the factory bikes at this point in time. We'll see how they are going by mid year when the factory bikes have had an update or 2. Crutchlow knows the Tech 3 team have signe...

Re: Moto GP 2012

Spies was a strong contender for my earlier list. Nothing like having someone breathing down your neck to make you lift your game. Yamaha have hedged there bets by bringing Dovizioso into the fold, give him a season on the Tech 3 bike, and if Ben hasn't performed, they have a really solid replacemen...

A great ad

The Japanese just don't make ads like this (filmed on a closed circuit, blah blah, ect ect)

A KTM ad for the release of the 990 super duke, heavy metal soundtrack, 2 blokes punching shit out of each other, and 100mph stand up wheelies
