Look forward to reading Casey Stoners autobiography "pushing the limits"
Me too.
I'm sure he will continue to be his diplomatic self! ;D
the alternative title was "i whine, therefore i am"
Amazon will carry Casey Stoners kindle version only. I hope traditional book version will come soon.
Does it come with a roll of tissue? ;D

Ear plugs.
Even in written form the whining jumps off the pages and attacks your eardrums.
Where the heck can I find the non-kindle version good old traditional paperback version in USA?

find someone that ports it over in some pirated format and is willing to kill enough trees to print it....
Or find DMF member in Australia that can let me know the price in US dollar and ship the book for me. Now that would be great solution. Hint hint
Ok, I'll keep an eye out for you. If I buy it, I'll pm you and get two.

Much thx.
Just wait a few months, there will be truckloads of remainders available on ebay for 'free'…..
The rest, Adrianna will use to 'kindle' the BBQ…
OK, that's cruel, but without Dave Despain on (RIP) SPEED anymore to talk about it, virtually no one in the states will know about this cherished tome in time for the holidays, no?
The book will come with a block of cheese to go with all whine. Nevertheless, it should be entertaining. Stoner never seems to sensor himself.

Hard part's going to be discerning fact from what Casey imagines had happened - hope there's a chapter on how his bikes were 'sabotaged' by Honda in the years before he bailed for Ducati [evil]
that was only 1 year that ohlins sabotaged him. [roll]
(unless he claims it happened in the support classes too. i've never heard that.)
Jeez…one too many 's's warrants rolling eyes?
Tough crowd…..
no, the eye roll was for casey. accusing ohlins back then.
not you :)
amazon got the book format finally. time to order ;D
Be ready to duck, it might be delivered by an octocopter piloted by Casey himself.
Mine just came in the mail, but the lady says I have to wait until Christmas to open it. [bang]

DON'T WORRY...I'll summarize it for you...
DORNA sucks...Rossi is done, and while I am a whinger, I am still faster than 98% of the MotoGP grid...

He was, in his own mind, gonna rule Australian race cars, too…

Just finished reading it.
good read, would recommend it to anyone.
Much more respect to him for what he had to go through!
And, he leave it sorta open as to if he come back! [thumbsup]
Was gonna buy it, but found a copy in my Christmas stocking!
Stoner has a few conspiracy theories. He reckons Rossi got sabotaged with a dodgy tyre in 2006!
I've just finished it too, I thought it was poorly written, but a good storey.
I'm reading this now. It is very interesting, and worth the read IMO. His take on the tire situation when Michelin was supplying is also very interesting...and actually makes a bit of sense if you're aware of the politics in GP.
Seems he faulted Michelin, not Ohlins or his team, for his front end crashes in 2006.
