He just wanted to hang with T Payne. Is that so wrong?
Maybe he got his M endorsement the same way...?

What would cause you to think that?

it's a shame they don't make those bumpers from impression-foam so it leaves a permanent mark
I dont think he will do very well in jail.
DANIELLA.
cheating on a WHAT?
are you sure this wasn't posted yesterday?
There's every chance it was.
Quite a few bike mags do it.
Either way, it gives an excuse to talk shit about El Capitan Pequeno.
Solid. [thumbsup]
Actually, I did check around, and it was in enough places and what looked to be legit press (and posted on Apr. 2) that there was a chance it was legit.
this is from Reuters, who i doubt would hang with april fool's folly.. and it quotes him as more or less admitting it

still hard to believe.
Someone please post the video of his wheelie at PI.
What a nerd! [laugh] Arrested for cheating on an exam for a license to drive a boat. He has street cred with the Monaco crowd now. [beer]
I'd like to see to him loose the front end of a yacht and high side it! [popcorn] [bacon] [laugh] Maybe he cheated on his FIM racing license test too! ;) Wanker... [roll]

I love listening to him try to be all philosophical and learned about his "mistake"
Pedrosa stated that he had "taken some bad advice and made it even worse."
"You can either ignore or learn from mistakes," Pedrosa's statement read, "and I have learned from this one not to get caught. I would like to publicly apologize to my followers and all those who have shown faith in me." Pedrosa's statement went on to say that he hoped that eveyone would forget about this as soon as possibleand focus entirely on the first race of the season at Qatar. He repeated that he had learned his lesson from the situation, and now he wanted his sponsors to only look forward to the future, and keep him after the upcoming season.
A spokesperson for HRC described the issue as "a make the beast with two backsin' stupid-ass thing to do" and reiterated that everybody makes mistakes, but that Pedrosa is a special kind of dipshit. Pedrosa will fly from his home in Switzerland to Qatar, to participate in the first race of the season at Qatar, which takes place on Sunday, April 8th, after which the GP season will hopefully be smooth sailing.

Man, I lived through a "3 hour" boat tour with a drunken captain sailing to Bimini. I wonder if he got his captain's license in the same way as Pedrosa.
I'm thinking that there will be lots of those hats at Laguna.
Maybe even some presented to him for autographs. [laugh]

Sorry. It's altered from the original in an attempt at humor--fair use n' all--so I didn't think there was a copyright problem and didn't link.

sorta... imola was the final round that year. ;D
I think it's cool in an absurd way that a "gang" was involved in cheating on a yachting exam [wine]
Damn, that Imola race still rocks the house! [thumbsup] [beer] Edwards at his best and Bayliss at his always best. I still think that is one of the best WSBK rounds ever. Find one better if you don't agree. ;) I'd love to see it.
OK... back to Captain McBrittlebones. [laugh]

Isn't there an Imola thread where this conversation would be more appropriate?
Prolly.
Still a great race.
