Anyone else talking RACING?! <--- of the motorcycle type

The SBK race from Sears Point should be a good one. Looking to see how Cardenas does against the established liter bike pilots. Rapp and Barnes on the same XR team should be good.

Rossi and Burgess are still tossers, Nicky 4th, Valenqueeno 9th after FP-2 at Lemans. Oregon loves the Vale and his 9", errrmmm, 9 titles.

I see someone found that hat they were lookin' for....




...

 

Not yet but I am looking. I need more than just one to watch races on my TeeVee.

How is your collection of fast guy blowup dolls coming along? I hear that Chaz one is a doozy.

 

Check out this warmup incident...

YouTube - Stoner and De Puniet at MotoGP Warm Up 2011/05/15

 

OMG! Pay per crunch! I guess we will have to wait until the paraphrases come in from the news racks at WalMart.

 

So, in AMA, at least for the first day (watching day 2 now), the Duc 848 is looking pretty tough to beat... I was really impressed with JD Beach, I hope he continues to do well. Josh doing well, want's to do a Mladdin, and win 10 this season, good luck to him with that...

Herrin doing well right now anyway, though DeSolvo's got that Duc back up front, but a lot of racing yet to go...

Moto2 was fun, good to see Marquez do what everyone thought he could do. Bradl needs to get back after it... Was sorry to see Innone drop it again, and Kenan struggling even worse than before; he's getting worse not better.

Good races all around; but, that's not what everyone is talking about... In MotoGP, a little crazy huh? So, Simoncelli's pass was "a little aggressive"... And regardless of that, I seriously feel for Pedrosa; I'm not a huge fan of his, though he's OK, but breaking his other collarbone, is just wrong... Given what he just went thru with the left one, and the fact that it was almost a career ending injury (thanks to the plate screws), it is really too bad that he has to go thru this again.

I'm surprised (and disappointed) by Spies; he did better on the satellite Yamaha last year than he is doing on the factory bike this year... And Rossi finished on the box, and no one hardly noticed...

 

Did anybody get a chance to watch MotoGp today? I'll wait a couple of days till people get a chance to watch it but what a F@#ked up move by a rider who is growing a reputation for his aggressive riding. What a brutal crash with 100% impact on the downed riders collarbone :tsk:

 

IMO the fast guys should all have to attend a mandatory "Mother May I" class before they are allowed to race. All this passing shit without asking has to stop.

 

Rossi ought to send Simoncelli a check for his services.

Looked to me that there was no was either rider was going to make that corner.

 

:doh: they pulled it, but found another one :lol:

YouTube - Stoner colpisce De Puniet

 

After watching the incident on yesterdays MotoGp in which the aggresive rider got a drive through I started thinking why Rossi didn't get one when he clearly caused Stoner to fall at Portugal, I guess being arguable the greatest of all time has its advantages..

 

ok, i am going to throw my two cents in, i hate to but i feel obligated to do so this time. R.W. you are right, but at the same point in time Rossi has not been the cause of so much like Simoncelli has been lately. I am not a fan of Rossi so please don't accuse me of taking up for him, but, for the most part, he is clean. Simoncelli on the other hand, who i WAS a fan of until he started riding like a kamikaze pilot, is not clean. As a matter of fact he has been outright dangerous with his moves on the track. He should be punished for his actions, it would be different if it was a one time thing but he puts all the other riders in jeopardy in every race here lately. Now, a real contender has another broken collar bone, probably killing his chances yet again for a championship. Hopefully, if he is punished harshly, Simoncelli will think twice before making such a boneheaded move on the track again, i feel if he is not, he will just keep crashing guys with such antics. I can repect his ambition, don't get me wrong, i think if he cleaned up his riding a bit he would be a super threat. Whats makes it even worse is that everytime he gets a finger pointed at him he doesn't see the mistakes he made, he thinks he did everything right.....even after putting a fellow HRC rider down. I know alot of you guys out there don't like Pedrosa, I myself am a Ben Spies fan first, HRC fan second. So I like to see Dani do well, whether you like him or not surely you don't want to see him hurt by such bad decisions from another rider, the next guy Simoncelli hurts may be your favorite rider.

 

We all know the fast guys only do that shit so they can squirt champagne all over each other and wear those really cool leathers.

 

The moment I took my foil hat off it all became clear. It's a conspiracy!!! That damn tosser Burgess has coerced Simoncelli into doing his evil bidding to make that washed up has been Rossi look like a moto-god yet again. I shake my fist at you, you evil Ducatisti and your Machiavellian schemes.

Now if I could just send positive vibes to Iannone so he'll stop falling off

 

The hat cannot be removed. Mother was not invoked. All shall remain status quo.

 

Funny as in this instance Rossi is blameless however Simoncelli should quit his stupid oath and just get a haircut his desperation to get championship points is affecting his judgment on track. Other than Pedrosa's unfortunate incident with Simoncelli the race was a good one.

 

Funny that on the non-Honda sites I frequent everyone is saying it was a racing incident, that Pedrosa was as much at fault as anyone (slow-mo showing his bike hoping around and outta control), and that it is unfair since other riders made similar moves during the same race (specifically Lorenzo's pass on Dovi). I do think the fact that Simoncelli was on the outside is a big differentiator here...

Regardless, as I said earlier, I do feel for Pedro, the injury is a tough one given his recent past; I hope he recovers well.

 

Being a Stoner fan I may be biased but De Puniet needed to be wacked by a baseball bat, if he felt the desparate need to wobble around the track playing with his nob while serious riders are closing in with a 125mph difference he should fiddle with himself in the pits.
