I'm over it. I think I can route for Lorenzo on a Ducati.

I'm going to have a hard time rooting for him.  Just like I did with Mr. Whinny Stoner. 

The best thing J-Lo can do will be to just shut up and ride.  Work on the bike so it works for him and shut up.  Take his wins and losses and shut up. When it rains or his helmet strap is too tight, he just needs to ride and shut up.

J-Lo just needs to think twice before he opens his mouth.  Maybe he should take some lessons from Dani?

...but why Ducati for make the beast with two backss sake? I hear KTM is building a bike. If douchebag is looking for a challenge then pick a stone and win...that'll prove he's special.

Cuz it's fast as make the beast with two backs, and he'll ride the wheels off it.

Nope...

he won't like the front...the rear...

the color.

George is too make the beast with two backsing particular to ride red.

None of it really matters anyway. MotoGP bikes have only one thing in common with the manufactured bikes.....the name. I could care less who rides what. I just want to see good racing.

Of course it does, but a $2.5 million dollar bike is as far away from what any manufacturer sells as you could possibly get.

I used to prefer World Superbikes for that reason where the bikes were $100-$200K difference. I had a mate who came about 20th in the '98 SBK races at the Island one year on a bike that owed him $20K ('97 GSXR 750).
Career highlight was holding up Aaron Slight around the back part of the course from MG to turn 12.
I would like the formula to continue to be more production based.

Since the GP became 4 stroke well it took the wind out of the SBK racing.

I like different makes sharing the podium, makes it technically fascinating.
