^ Even so, this thread is more about goodbyes than all the nitty, gritty details. I liked this parting shot sent to me in an email from Motomummy.



Very nice! waytogo Dolph

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Not sure why I am having such a hard time digesting this.  Everytime I think about it, I still get that sinking feeling in my stomach that I got when i first saw the accident.  When I turned on the race (DVR'ed on SPEED) and saw the MotoGP125 race come on, I thought, "Well, either my DVR screwed up or someone got...." - that was when the news scrolled across the bottom of the screen.  What a loss.  Rest In Peace Marco.  GP races will not be the same without you.

Odd thought here, but what do you suppose the chances of Honda releasing a special CBR, wearing #58, would be?

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Depends on whether their PR people decide that the public would perceive it as "honoring a racer" or "cynically cashing in."

And just how many they think they'd sell.

I've never really been one to fancy the bikes done up in race schemes, but I think I'd seriously consider picking one of these up if they were built.
