I'm going to show just how old/unhip I am now. Who is she?

Don't worry about it. I didn't know either but I don't think we've missed anything.  [laugh]
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

I thought the same thing.  Then someone emailed me this.

I feel more comfortable now knowing I didn't miss anything.

Maybe instead of Rossi, it will be 'Rossi (contraction of Capirossi) on the Ducati.  If the Rossi (as in Vale) deal is done, why are they teasing Capirossi?

I think the Pramac team is teasing Capi, not the factory team.

not for nothin'....

If I was Loris and could still get a ride...

I'd pay them. ;)

I'd agree if he hadn't just taken it in the ass from the italian tax authorities like he just did recently...

Hey someone has to come in 9th consistently.  Might as well get paid as much as you can for it.    ;)

(unfortunately) racing isn't always about winning, it's about marketing.

I thought so, to the tune of 1.5 million euro's or something akin to that figure...

Better than the 35 million euros Rossi had to fork over.
