Simoncelli's talented alright. I just wish he would stay on his bike and stop screwing up, he's killing me in the tipping He reminds me of Lorenzo in his first year, getting too eager and losing it all the time. I still think his ride through on the weekend was a bit harsh. There was no reason for Pedrosa to stand his bike up the way he did, although being an armchair critic is easier to pick a fault than actually being there in the heat of the moment.
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
It is far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if chequered with failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, as they live in grey twilight that knows no victory nor defeat.
The MotoGP is definitly exciting this year. Too bad Kawasaki can't get a rider as good as Stoner for their World Superbike fiasco. Sykes definitely rides better than me, (everybody does) but he is a pimple on the ass of a rider like Stoner. Sykes could be on a bike blessed by Jesus and would still finish ninth. Cheers, I'm going for another ride up to the mountains to see how the snow is melting. It's about 90 degrees F in the valley.
More like he's 'backing it out', awesome rider.
The 'Aliens' (Stoner, Rossi, Pedrosa & Lorenzo) are freaks I watched them braking in the flesh at the hairpin at Sepang sliding the front, rear about 10cm off the track and left foot off the pegs...sends shivers down your spine.
Next time I wonder if I can lean over any further I'll be sure to remind myself to HTFU. The Dunlops I've got wouldn't be as good as his hoops but they'll sustain more lean angle than my sphincter wants to give them every time. Was that in the race or practice/qualifying?

I have become race...
