    Hi Hater!, Hi Hater!, Hi Hater!

    That was one of the extra added bonuses of Dani winning, knowing that you spent your hard earned money and rode all the way down there to watch him win. You got pwned. I was laughing my ass off thinking about it. I'm glad Drew told me you were there, it made Dani's win that much sweeter.....:thumbsup:

    Glad you 2 little people had so much fun that day. I always wondered why you were all up Dani the Troll's ass so much.

    It was a great day of racing especially since Nicky had a good race with a 5th place finish:thumb:

    I had a feeling Nicky was going to do well this weekend. I was happy all the way around.

    Hear hear, his best finish of the year, and not a way back there somewhere Fifth, but within sight of the lead pack, after the way he has struggled all year, that was almost a win for him. And I thought his new paint job was super cool looking.

    He looked very good out there, the bike was working better for him and he looked comfortable.

    You took the troll bait! Pwned again!

    Yes we both did have a great day! And based upon your response, I'm having an even better day today, thinking about how much it got under your skin :thumbsup: If Nicky finishes on the podium, from now until the end of this year, I'll send you a case of slimfast, your choice of flavor. If he gets on the box, just shoot me a PM with your parents address, and I'll ship it right to you. :wink:

    let us not forget that his progress into the top 5 was aided by his fellow riders throwing themselves onto the tarmac...If 22 seconds back is anything for a former world champion to be proud of, then maybe I'm missing something :confused:. I'm pretty sure that 22 seconds back was nowhere even close to being able to see the lead pack...unless he was looking at the Jumbotron on his way by....:eek: Sorry Bear and Drew, but Wayne Rainey and I were discussing your posts, and I had to clear the psuedo success fog you both seem to be wandering around in.

    Is that a shot of STFU?, or a Glass of STFU? if it's a glass, I prefer it on the rocks, with no twist.

    Hey Bear you thinking about coming back out next year???? I'm leaning heavily towards the Montery Bay Lodge....any thoughts? Drew, how about you? maybe we could split a suite or something?

    more like this................bwahaaahaaahaa

    Give me a few days to assess the damage from this trip, then enter into negotiations for next year.

    I like the idea of the Lodge. I'll get with you soon. And then go all Wayne Rainey on your ass.

    If you were Wayne Rainey, you wouldn't have to ask.

    I plan on it. Next year is a long way away, but I am interested for sure.

    I'm the troll? Your the one who went out of his way to post up about something that was said months ago and no one but you was thinking about... :rolleyes: Sorry but poke your nose in someone else's ass, not mine. I personally wasn't even thinking about you and have wasted too much time on you already. I'm sure you'll have something idiotic to say to this but in your own words "I don't give a fuck".

    And why you feel the need to write stuff like this in a open forum just to get your rocks off baffles me. :crazy: Do you really not have that much of a life to stick your nose in everyone elses? Glad you enjoyed yourself so much and made it home in one piece...

    It's a dirt bike turned into a road racer. They call the class "Super Singles".

    Race Tech sells a conversion kit, pretty neat idea that might take off.

    yeah I figured it out the next day when I remembered looking into that before. I was thinkin of tracking my YZ 450f. It would be pretty cool I think but running in the regular groups on trackdays youd get your ass handed to you in the straights...

    Haven’t you seen someone on an old RS125 two-stroke at the track?

    They can carry so much corner speed (if they have the skill) they blow by everybody. A NESBA control rider I know said the best pass ever had done to him was at Road Atlanta in Georgia. Him and three other riders were going full out on their 600’s and this guy on his 125 passed them on the outside of the turn like it was nothing and left them all. Those riders damn near keep those things pegged. Pretty amazing a 40-50 hp bike can do that. But makes sense. If you are going thru a turn at 60 mph and they come through at 80, no wonder they blow by people. Oh, and the Control Rider in question is anything but slow.

    I guess that’s the whole point of the super singles. The two-strokes aren’t being imported in high numbers and cost a lot. They are a cheaper alternative and teach that corner speed thing the 125’s do. I guarantee one reason Ben Spies is a fast as he is is because he spent time racing a 125 two-stroke.

    Hell, what I've seen some guys and girls do on the 250's at the track has had my eyes do this:eek:
