Rossi Get's Podium Finish!!

Post by sickle44 »

Here comes the Doctor, Race four with Ducati and he's already pulled a podium. Machine apparently got a new frame and now it's the engine's turn. You can see how the Honda's just have the upper hand on the straights.

I feel real bad for Pedrosa though, what an Ass that simoncelli DICK, I'm surprised Pedrosa didn't take his head off, I know I bloody would have.

M1 appears like it also needs a little topend work in order to play with the 212

Lets not get carried away, the Ducati has improved, but i feel you need to look at Haydens results to see how far they have come, Rossi is a freak, but the Duke is still probly a top 6 bike at best

Simmonchelli, well there will be a lot of debate over his riding, Stoner was known as a crasher, then won a world championship, he will learn from this and improve his riding

Yeahhh,
That one I'm not sure if you can chock it up to being a crasher, that seemed to be a pretty plain and simple "cut off," indeed you are right though in that he will learn from this.

Can't fault the guy for wanting to win and his agression is also admirable but you can't go chopping the fronts of other guys bike's off. That said though, you kinda wonder if Pedrosa could've saved it or not by just diggin' in a bit more. *shrug* who knows, guess we'll see.

I'm sure Honda have had words, that was one HRC contracted rider on a works bike taking out another,

Your right that you can't go cutting off the nose of other bikes, but have a look at Pedrosa, leg out, back wheel off the ground, he got in too hot, got off the brakes an would have sat it up and run a little wide, pitty there was another bike in his way

I think Pedrosa ran into Simoncelli! They were both to eager to be in front! I think Pedrosa shit himself went wide and hit Simoncelli's back wheel ... back wheel that was... tyre really! it will be talked about and debated over, on, under... forever.

Yeah,

I kinda was wondering if whether or not Pedrosa was a little scared shitless too. You almost wonder if whether or not, he didn't have a clue that anyone was coming round him, until Simoncelli all of a sudden showed up!

Gidday there spook, welcome back, we've missed having you around :hi

For my 2c worth, i've never liked Simoncelli, but haven't managed to figure out why, but reading through one of the comments on the MotoGP site (I think) he was referred to as ignorant when it come to track safety and his non-finishing this year , and that pretty much sums up his move.

Having said that, was it really all that different to Rossi's late pass on Stoner that bought them both down,...hmmm

He should get a haircut and a real job... without doubt he could have waited for a better opportunity though. Broken bones hurt too much, even when your earning millions, which are no compensation when your in a box.

Thought I would drop in and annoy you all, I've already been giving poor old Tim an ear bashing :)

I read a great article about Simonchelli. it talked about him being able to have a bit of a swagger when the top kid in the play ground is your mate, even when the other kids don't like playing with you

But in true Rossi style, when a mate starts to get a bit to quick (Hello Sete!!) he has given him a bit of a back hander this week, saying his move was too forcefull,

haven't not been around much myself until recently, I didn't even notice Spook was gone, yes, welcome back Spook. Where've you been, some Suzuki forum site? Are you finished the Purple Dolphin yet? Love to see it in it's finished form if it's done of course?

Welcome to stay a while dude, then again, summer is approaching, ohhhh, that's right, it's winter time for you guys...

Um I blew it up at the track, big end went and now the front piston is hitting the head... I'm hard on bikes :) a new engine is on it's way. Some other mildy interesting stuff going on as well. So no is the answer to that!

I've built a completely new 88 FZR1000 that i hoped to have ready for BSFOS but it was a big job and it is not even now finished, but not far off. I might do a post on that one?

Stan, I've never forgiven Rossi for what he did to poor old Sete... He was too nicer guy to have to endure the curse! MotoGP was worse for his departure. Rossi took him (Sete) out psychologically, and from that he never returned or recovered.

Need to do shake downs and some practice first Jason!

Here it is... The 88 FZR:

Yeah I know but that still leaves plenty of time before September anyway, or at Interclub you'll probably be the only P6 bike so you could use that as a shakedown and get a trophy aswell!!

I am doing a bit to the VFR so will be looking to do a track day before racing resumes in September for me, so maybe we can hook up for that.

I'll aim to drop by this weekend, my phone is not working at the minute so might be a cold call, let me know any times when you won't be there???
