God know. As much as I like Ant West because he's an Ozzie, I'm kind of sick of his monotone moaning about his bike and his team.

There are plenty of ways to say that you aren't happy with the outcome of a race, but his style is really starting to shit me.

The last thing Kawasaki want is someone who's going to continually bitch about what they have to offer.

The sooner Ant learns to be a little more tactful the better.

u gotta admit westy's done it pretty tough though. he's never been afforded the same sorta recognition and kudos that stoner, vermuelen, or even bayliss have had. he's never had anywhere near the same level of backing, yet he's arguably as good as if not better (and more experienced) than his aussie peers. i think he's entitled to feel a little bitter.

Re: Ant West. Sure, he can feel bitter. No problem with that.

But when every time he opens his mouth he sounds like a poor loser, with an edge of whiny spoilt brat, and a side serving of up-himself "It's not me, I'm perfect, it's the bike"... well, some people are going to think less of him, and also not want him representing their pride and joy.

If the Giberturd rides a kwaka, I just may find myself cheering on the Hondas with Mark and Pabs :oops: I can't stand him - only rider I actually despise. Maybe I'll just fanatically support De Poo instead - supporting Honda might be going a little far :lol:

Up to nakkers really, he know the other teams are allready developing their bikes and have a working prototype in testing whereas he hasnt even got a bike to look at.

3 years of racing and not a lot of podiums to show for it as well and a chance to ride what is traditionally a competitive package and if it was me i would move on and see what happens.

kwaka is better with some new blood and make sure there bloody skinny too it will help with the power deficet and go with whatever they have to develop it probably randy.

Theres no point putting on a has been unless its rossi. :shock:
If I rode my bike at the speed of light, what would happen when I switched on its headlights?

Having read a the TW article on westy, were all he does in whine like a cut cat, i really don't have much time for him. He's a jealous little sook. He just didnt get lucky, thats all there is too it, im sure there's plenty more riders out there with tons of talent who missed their opportunity.

As for Nakkers leaving the green, well i spose it had to happen eventually, pity that he was starting to come on towards the end. There's plenty of good young riders out there who could fill the spot, i reckon its time to send a lot of the oldies into retirement...set an age limit on GP like they have on the 125?? class

If he doesnt want the ride, he should just stop sooking and give it to me. I'll take it, run around at the BACK of the pack, fly all around the world and you wont hear a word of complaint. :lol:

It's a shame we couldn't coax Ryuichi Kiyonari away from British Superbikes, I love watching that guy ride...
He won this years British Superbikes but reckons he will sign with HM Plant Honda to defend his title in 2007.

As for Sete Gibberingnow or Careless Chucka riding for team green..... where's that bloody petition...... :x :x

The only passing Shinya has been involved in this year has seen him lose a spot or park it on its tank :shock:
Poach Jamie Staufer & toss him on the big K's 800cc Unit.
As much as Jamie is super fast, I gotta say I really think Russell Holland is a faster rider. I have never seen anyone else in Aus Supers lean a bike that far. On dead equal machinery I think he would have Jamie's measure.

Russell Holland will be riding for Honda Aust next year both his bike and Staufers should be competitive with each other so next season will tell if you are right. Saying that Jamie did have a very good year this year and if he continues this form will be hard to beat next year. I hope Russell can be very competitive and that it is a cracker of a year next year for the racing regardless of who is the better rider.

Agreed. Him and Jamie seem to be the best out there ATM. If the bikes are truly equal my money (all fitty cents of it) is on Holland, but is sure will be close.

Any Aussie friggin crazy enough to win Irish road racing is friggin crazy enough to with the MotoGP...

2nd place is the elite Isle of Man TT in his second year.... The guy is a fruitbag for doing it... but must have nuts of steel....

Anyone who can learn the Isle of man TT circuit well enough after 2 years must be good at learning lines etc....
