yeah...there was some hubbub about for this deal to be done, Yamaha would have to buy out his personal Rockstar energy contract sponsorship for to make this happen.

I still want to see a bike sponsored by that energy drink that sponsored Corser...

Seems like at least once a week, I find another reason to be astounded at the amount of money sloshing around in sugary, highly caffeinated sodas.  :o

Maybe to one-up Red Bull & smooth things over with Lorenzo, Monster can send him all the way to the moon. He's already got the suit.

That would only be cool if they leave him there.  ;D

Thought this would be a derby but I guess not.

Pretty new to watching GP but am excited for the season.  Then I saw this.  Nothing makes me want to root for Yamaha less than this:

2013 Yamaha Factory Racing with Jorge Lorenzo & Valentino Rossi promotional trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O07XKyJUqbQ&feature=player_embedded#)

This video is right up Lorenzo's alley...but the Doctor?

If Yamaha really wants to up their pageviews, they should get Jorge & Vale to re-enact the Mancation video.  [laugh]

Mancation wasn't  [puke] it was funny. I loved seeing CE being the natural goofball he is and watching The Ben looking uncomfortable as hell. [laugh]

Don't want to know the details  :o

Could it be a trailer for the upcoming HBO miniseries, "Norman Bates meets Hannibal Lechter"
