f'n great races.   waytogo

It's official.  I'm back on the Melandri bandwagon.  He made me a lifelong fan with that epic powerslide, and it's good to be feelin' the love again.  And it's even better to watch him help Max totally decompensate in front of a world audience.  Max, Marco made you his pregnant dog this weekend. Now write "I won't be a douche" on the board 100 times and STFU for a bit.

Uh  . . . what happened to Checa over the last two years?  Wowza.

I think Rea screwed up by riding a Honda again.  It's too finicky.  

Would someone please tell Fabrizio that WSBK runs TWO races in a weekend.  It's not one practice session--where you can just pull in if you get a hangnail--and then one race.  How many times has that guy pitted because he needed to change his tampon?

Donington 2009 is where it all went south for Haga.  He hasn't been the same since.  Did The Ben break him or has that injury been taking a toll.  This is the first I remember hearing about it.

Max Biaggi: Insta-douche, Just add championship!

The wheel thing was crazy, but not more than the awesomeness of checa and Melandri storming through the pack.

And Spidey, I believe it was at Monza when god decided to punish him and broke his collarbone via kamikaze-bird

I think it was the 300 ft.lbs. of torque the 1198 puts on the ground. laughingdp Bet that Bimmer rider needed a fresh set of leathers. Grin

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

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."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

I hate when that happens:




It's the new DTC "wheel ejection" setting.

Effective form of wheelie control...

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.

he grew up and someone gave him a factory ducati

I think Rea screwed up by riding a Honda again.  It's too finicky.  

yeah, the whole ten kate squad in both classes is having a hard time.  weird.

maybe he was just all bunched up over seeing his bike from last year nearly win race 1.

According to OZ's site, the six spoke jobbies are forged mag.

Could have been done afterward, to easily show how they mated up.
