This is how his home town celebrates Rossi. Speed limit reduced from 50 to 46.

Sorry to hear about that. That sucks. Maybe you and Nicky will have a better year next, when you're both at another company who sees your worth.

I mean, look at the stats Nicky got.
Grand Prix victories    3    3
2nd Positions    6    6
3rd Positions    16    6
Podiums    25    25
Poles    5    5
Race fastest lap    6    6
World Championship wins    1    1

Its not like someone at Ducati, said, "Hmm, what dumb-ass can we pick up for '09?" He effing RAN OUT OF GAS 100 yards to the finish line. Not his fault. 
The man can ride. So can Stoner, but not with a broken hand. The sh*t didn't all line up for either of them this year.
I was making fun of Bubba as well riding for Honda, but now that he's on the team, I'm getting all positive 

He also hasn't really done shit in two years. ...
...
But you are right. My life, sucks. I never won an AMA Supersport Championship,
...
(On a more serious note: I think we, as fans, get to critique results. ...
....")

Well if it was my town, them signs would be on my bedroom wall in a heartbeat.

Do you really think there are any left by now?

Everything I have always seen about Italy in bike and car mags, the writer always raves about how the speed limits are not as strongly enforced as somewhere like England or Australia.
I always got the impression that if you 20 - 30 k's over on the highway the police were not to worried, where here in Australia if you are 5 k's over the limit, you are pulled over, dragged from your car and a gun held to your head while being screamed at about how your going to kill everyone and end all life on the planet!

Not arguing with you stopintime, you are much closer to them than I am of course, the closest I've been to Italy is the talking to the owner of the Italian Delicatessen down the road, although... I think he's from New Zealand! 

Speed limit in Italy..merely a suggestion!  I didn't get pulled over on the highways and countryside for going triple digits but around the villages..had to be carefeul of the radars and awaiting police cars.  Motorists, bicyclists and other bikers indicated speed traps though.
