Rossi the freak...

Postby aardvark » Fri Mar 25, 2005 12:17 pm

Has anyone seen the latest AMCN? The one with the photo of Rossi, with his elbow scraping and his outside foot waaaaay off the peg?

Did he make it, or didn't he? I wont give the game away, but the answer can be found in the back of the mag. Someone wanna scan and post the pictures?

Thats nothing.!!
I've been leaned over more than that.!!!


The repairs weren't that expensive either...:-)



I think the header "how Rossi saved this, yes he did" might be a give away...

Mike,
well I got the same foot off of the peg but I aint quite got the same lean angle :lol: :lol:

Got to admit when I saw the post title I wondered what I'd been up to :shock:
I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

Just Rossi testing the limits of the new tyres. Seems if you keep the throttle pinned and your name is Valentino, you can squirm your way out of anything!

I was watching "Faster" on the weekend and there was a scene with him in a very similar position, front tucking under, leg up in the air, but he didn't catch it that time.

I guess there's only a couple of mm's difference between:
"Ah, FUCK!"
and
"Holy FUCK! That was close."

:lol:

I reckon you're right, but then for us mere mortals it would be a huge difference. :cry:
