cheers Phil, I might just go up to old mates place tonight with a 6-pack... I just wanna see the first race of the new season, won't mind taping them after this round.........it will be nice to see some Team Green action........hopefully......

i reckon nakkers will be up the front, hopefully randy too

pity you dont live closer

gees it would be nice if they were up the front - and it is a shame I don't live any closer........you would have a rowdy loungeroom

I also use povo TV and I'm now suffering greatly from sleep depreaviation....on well I'm only at work

Out of interest, how much $$$ is a Foxtel digital that includes MotoGP?

Phil wrote:the best thing about fox is not having to listen to darryl beattie, great rider but seriously he sends me to sleep.

So that's why I keep nodding off during the GP - must learn to put a CD on and turn the TV down
Forgot to tape it last night thoug Was reminding myself all day but then forgot as I was readying for bed.
ty

I did the same thing......... All I had to do was connect the VCR back to the tele.... (dont really use it any more, so it sits there being used as an expensive clock...)

Was okay viewing even if you knew the result, hope randy gets the hang of the ninja before he breaks something serious he seems to be falling of it a lot at the moment and looking at shinya he seems to be surgical with his lines.

Sachenring is the race to watch i reckon.

Pedrosa was bloody impressive, and Capirossi deserved the win. As usual the bloody Kwakas let me down. Ah well 7th is better than 10th I guess.....

mate 7th is not too bad. i know its not 1st but better than results we've had before

Considering how many years Kawasaki have been out of top class racing compared to the other Japanese three i think Kawasaki is doing a bloody awesome job. GO TEAM GREEN

well said that man....just have a look at suzuki if you need confirmation.

at the end of the day Kawasaki WILL NEVER COMPETE WITH HONDA & YAMAHA ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD......it all comes down to money in the end.

then again after reading some of the posts on here i'm sure some of the "critics" should be out there instead of shinya and randy - they obviously know more about it FFS

Eh..., you aren't refering to me are you Phil? All I was saying was that I was hoping like crazy that the Kwakas would finish right up there, I was so let down when Shinya got passed by Stoner and did not pass him back. I know it's only early days etc, but everytime you could see them in the background and he was still behind a piece of me died lol.

As far as money etc. goes, I know what you mean about budgets, and unfortunately too much in racing relies on a big one. But the parent company has the money there to invest if need be, and surely it would help their cause / sales? And I keep seeing these Ducatis going better and better, and they have been in MotoGP a similar length of time.

But don't worry, I will still be hoping like crazy they go better at the next round.

Hey - At least we kicked Suzuki's ass again!

amongst others....yes.

Is this because I race a Yamaha?

Only joking mate, you have understand I am with you on this one, I really want Kwaka to win and really think they can do it, if only they would just free up a bit more money for the cause.

I just want them to win so much I have to have a whinge whenever they don't.

Oh and for the record if I could have afforded a Kawasaki Superbike I would have one. I still want one. Especially when a mate that races with me tears away from me up the straights on his Ten. I don't mean to imply this has anything to do with anything, just thought I would make it known.

yep, why else

you have to remember thet the m/c division of the mighty K is only a small part of KHI.

i want them to win too, BUT there are LOTS of factors at play here. in fact people who have been died in the wool kawasaki supporters for a while are enjoying our best times since the great greg hansfrod and kork ballington.
