ROSSI AND THE RECORD BOOKS.

Hi there well here its from rossi himself. I don't want to be the one that said I told you so......but seemslike a couple of years ago someone said rossi would go to F-1 or rally. and seems not to long ago somewhere I read that he would retire. in bote cases I think I said NO WAY. and that he would stay in motot gp till he broke all the records.

Interesting thoughts on TC from the best tuner in the business.

What if Rossi DOES win the title this year?

What do you think it would mean if Rossi does win the championship this year? With Jorge, Dani, Casey and Vale all front runners for the title, arguable the best motogp line up in recent years. Easily the hardest championship for Rossi to win. What if he actually does win it? What if he is the best of the best?

What do you think everyone will say if he beats those other 3 fair and square? What will it mean for the legend and Myth of The Doctor?





I think in the back of everyone's mind they think "ya he won't do it" but he's proven us all wrong before. Even I think that in the back of my head, but if he does I will easily hands down give him the title of Greatest of All Time.

SX Champ 08

Reed wins by a hair.

Does anybody care?

I said at the beginning of the season once Bubba was out, that this would be Reed's title to lose. Well he sure tried hard to lose it, but really there is very little top talent in SX at the moment. Kevin W tried, and was gifted a few wins, but really, with that much fucking up (and some bad luck) from Reed, and nobody could take the title says alot about the rest of the field.

Congrats to Reed...I think.

Everybody else, sux.

Ladys, save our planet

Solar bra brings conservation closer to the heart

TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - Ladies, take your battle for the environment a little closer to your heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod.

Lingerie maker Triumph International Japan Ltd unveiled its environmentally friendly, and green colored, "Solar Power Bra" on Wednesday in Tokyo which features a solar panel worn around the stomach.

The panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not be in stores anytime soon, said Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda, as "people usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it."

But it does send the message of how lingerie could possibly save the planet, Masuda said, adding that the bra should not be washed or sunned on a rainy day to avoid damaging it.

Being eco-friendly is now fashionable in Japan, and the "Solar Energy Bra" follows the company's other green-themed undergarments that include a bra that turns into a reusable shopping bag and one that featured metal chopsticks to promote the use of reusable chopsticks.

"It is very comfortable and I can really feel involved in eco-friendly efforts as well," model Yuko Ishida said.

A Top Ten Guide...

[I'm just trying out something here; if it works I might inflict one of these on you all after every race. laugh.gif ]

[Or it might just die a sad and unlamented death ohmy.gif ]

Round One

The Top Ten Reasons Why Rossi Didn't Win In Qatar:

10. Colin Edwards. The "Texas pre-season bluster" has a new pity clause in his contract, which states that "His Rossifuminess shalt not finish more than 4 places higher than I in 2007."

9. His bike is crap; you know, the one that won a shiny BMW just a couple of weeks beforehand.

8. He thought that it was Gibernau riding that Ducati. "Is ok, no problem. He is fast, but always make little mistake. So I beat him again for sure." And there was that whole curse thing, too.

7. Stoner coats his leathers liberally with Vegemite. Sensitive Latin-type that he is, Rossi's eyes were watering from the strong odour instantly recognisable as the world's greatest breakfast condiment, and that made it impossible for him to stay in Stoner's draft. He could only get close on the slow corners, where there was no wind.

6. His bike is a steaming pile of shite; you know, the one that dominated preseason testing, and led Colin "the Texas Nostradamus" Edwards to predict: "I don't see any reason why Valentino and I can't finish 1 and 2 this year."

5. He knew it would piss Pedrosa off to see Stoner get a win.

4. He'd forgotten to get Casey a wedding present, and a GP win was the best he could do on short notice.

3. His bike is like, you know, only the slowest bike to have ever been fielded by a factory team in the history of everything, everywhere. There is nothing at all good about this nail.

2. It's that Japanese mentality. They put too much fuel in it. Also, Ducati were cheating.

And the number one reason why Rossi didn't win in Qatar:

With about 3 laps to go, Rossi barged past Stoner, trying to bluff him with one of his patented "I'm-pulling-the-pin-now" moves. Stoner promptly repassed him, putting paid to that, and then proceeded to gap him, in the process setting the fastest lap of the race on the last lap. Rossi could do nothing, and settled for second.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Round Two

The Top Ten Reasons Why Rossi Did Win In Jerez:

10. Colin Edwards's pity clause worked in his favour this time, as the Texan "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!" Texan finished on the podium for the first time since... China 2006, a total of 14 races ago. At this rate, he should be on the podium again at Philip Island.

9. His Yamaha was cra-- ... actually, it wasn't so bad, was it?

8. Rossi tried some of Stoner's Vegemite coating on his leathers, and found it had two benefits. The odour of the world's greatest breakfast condiment not only kept Pedrosa and Edwards successfully at bay, but also allowed Rossi to put the hammer down from early on... in an effort to get away from himself.

7. He hadn't won for something like six months, and was obviously a shattered man. Hayden, Melandri and Capirossi personally convinced all the other riders to "let Vale have one".

6. His eight mates standing at the dry sack corner in the ten-pin bowling suits would have looked pretty fucking stupid if he hadn't.

5. Slumming it down with the test riders (Yes, you too, Olivier) during FP3 scared him so much that he invoked an anti-Gibernau curse on himself.

4. After the piss-poor Yamaha that he fronted up with at Qatar Fiat stepped in with some quality parts.

3. Pedrosa would've won, but for problems with a thinning fuel mixture. During the race he kept adding fluids of some description to the tank. Hayden was apparently another victim of Pedrosa's leaky bladder--not that it's an excuse, or anything.

2. Elias got a bad start this year.

And the number one reason why Rossi won in Jerez:

Settling in behind Pedrosa on the first lap, he realised that #26 was looking a little tentative early on. He dived past, quickly established a half-second gap, and that was the race right there. Pedrosa could match him after that, but never got any closer; and then when the tyres went off, Rossi kept on it like they hadn't, recording a comfortable victory that was all class.

Martin Finnegan Killed

Sinan Sofuoğlu dies

The older brother (age 25) of 2007 world supersport champion Kenan died on the 9th May after suffering a broken neck at the Kocaeli race track in the Turkish Motorcycle championship. He previously won the title in 2005.
Some of you may remember he wildcarded in 250 at Istanbul a couple of years back.

Just though I'd let people know, haven't seen a topic about it whilst I was browsing.

Robert Dunlop killed in NW200 practice

Just heard it on Sky News this moment, apparently the bike seized during practice at a cross section.

It's a fucking tragedy for his son's, I can't express my sorrow enough for them, and road racing in general.

RIP Robert. sad.gif

Four races, 3 1/2 different men win...

So far we have had different race winners in the four races this season.

1. Do you think we will have another name added to the list of men (one boy) who will be race winners this year?

2. If so, who and at what track?

My answer:

1. Yes (Just don't know who and where lightning will strike, but here are my probables...)

2. If heavy rain, Vermi at France.
If heavy rain, Capi at Japan.
If Long shot, Toes at a WSBK track
If Miracle, Hayden at Laguna

What say you...

Whooooops
