why, oh why would someone want to have a rossi "replica" r1?
would it not make a LOT more sense to have a spies replica r1, as:
ben will most likely win the wsb championship in his rookie year
the sterilgarda livery looks molto cooler than this rossi replica
and gee, actually tying a sports figure to the appropriate product?
stooopid:
molto cooler:

And he may be fast, but Spies' personality is about as exciting as a bowl of oatmeal.

That's perfect, as his bike is sponsored by Sterilgarda, which if you didn't know is a company that sells milk.

I'm sorry I don't see the difference between the top bike and the bottom bike. Appear to both be bikes covered in stickers. What am I missing, other then the significance of who rides them?

I realize that they come off...the weird thing is that they're on there at all. It's just weird...

Which, ironically, is also true of johnc
My take on replicas is that for people who like that sort of thing, they have a lot of the sort of thing that those people like.
