Tell me you got up and slapped that silly git?

How many times do you have to show a wheel before he gets the point and concedes the place? >:(

I probably would've grabbed him like Biaggi grabbed Fabrizio in the 1st race of the last round too

in racing...there is no conceding of a place...you want the position...you have to take it...THAT IS racing....you don't back off unless your balls are writing a check that you don't think you want to cash or unless someone(cornerworker/race official) waves a blue backmarker flag and then points it at you to let people go around/by you...


it is unfortunate that you got collided into though....what was the extent of the damage?!?!?!

There's also a difference between conceding a position and making an overly-aggressive attempt at keeping the position.

Damage wasn't too bad to the bike.  My elbow got banged up -- the wound just closed yesterday (2 weeks later) but it's still sore as hell.

Thanks for putting that up.   It's soooo much harder to watch knowing at some point you're going to crash.

fast recovery.

Thanks also for posting it without the usual 80's hair metal soundtrack so I could hear the motor  [thumbsup]

That sucks to get taken out like that though.
