Ya I don't think so. If Rossi hadn't beat the pants off everyone most of his career, he'd just be a moron instead of the marketing phenom he is.
The difference between 'eccentricity' and 'craziness' is success.


"Monster drink... $2.5 million contract...
Another case to prove that it’s all about the publicity, not the sport.
At least someone is keeping up the business end of the MotoGP in all this economic crisis.

agree ... rossi will provide monster with a whole lot more publicity/marketing exposure than hopper has in motogp.

Why do all those drinks just taste like industrial solvent to me?  Tongue

I'll take a nicely brewed cup of espresso, thanks.

That isn't a new model from Yamaha, is it? It's just a race version of their existing, overseas-only yzf 125. I don't think they'll do any production models with those specs, let alone even bring that bike over here.

I got through Industrial Design school with Red Bull.
It was a morning drink, but a 3AM kind of morning. One sip and you know something bad is happening.  laughingdp

Coffee was for 9AM thereafter.

Because they are industrial solvent?

I drank half a can of Red Bull once, I thought my stomach was going to turn inside out.  vomit
