They had talked about this last year...good to see it finally happening!
Very cool. Good for her! [thumbsup] [Dolph]
'bout friggin time!!!
[popcorn]
we'll see
Has she ever tested a full on 1000cc sbk yet? Just wondering if she has some big bike (as in fast as shit!) experience yet. All I have ever read about her has been related to 600cc bikes.
hope the wrist is healed

I agree. It's great for publicity and it'll be a great experience for her. Remember, even Ben Bostrom was somewhat humbled by the Honda at Laguna Seca. Apparently it's a whole different ball game.

She doesn't turn 18 until November, so until then here is where you sign up : Elena Myers Paddock Boy Sign Up (http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbis-innocent-images-national-initiative-targets-internet-pedophiles)
You're a legal adult at 17 in Texas. ;D

Nope. Age of Consent in TX is 17 and they have a "Romeo & Juliet" law which allows a partner to be 3 years older. So a 17 yo could be involved with a 20 yo.
Legal adult in TX is 18, just like everywhere else.

That's not what I meant! Damn! Only an attorney would assume something like that.
I just want to be out on the track in Daisy Dukes with an umbrella. [puke] (It was supposed to be funny.)

it WAS funny
I just upped the ante
The joke isn't really funny until someone could go to jail. ;D
this always happens once you get the lawyers involved in the jokes... ;D

Oh. Which adds to funniness of my Urkel physique and cluelessness.
I think you all are missing the potential image here.

Looks pretty close to what the boys were doing on their first laps in FP1.

first part (i.e. most of that video) looked like exactly that. poorly put together footage.
Yeah they had that video up on the motogp.com website before the weekend. I was really disappointed with what they showed us. Give me a few flying laps please. Not some pussy footing sight lap coverage.
She only got 5 laps on it, and I'm sure it was made clear that throwing it down would not be good.
She was hitting 190mph+ at the end of the front straight...the big dogs were hitting just a touch over 200.
Not like she was pussyfooting around after the siting lap.
i wonder if they would complain about her being too light and small like they do about pedrosa if she ever made it to motogp/wsbk
She just hit 18, she is due for the "Freshman 15" gain..
I saw her do 3 of the laps and she seemed comfortable on the bike. Of course they didn't post her lap times. I sometimes wonder if the teams bring up the younger riders in part to get more testing time on the tracks.
