^ Even so, this thread is more about goodbyes than all the nitty, gritty details. I liked this parting shot sent to me in an email from Motomummy.



Very nice! [thumbsup] [Dolph]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Not sure why I am having such a hard time digesting this.  Everytime I think about it, I still get that sinking feeling in my stomach that I got when i first saw the accident.  When I turned on the race (DVR'ed on SPEED) and saw the MotoGP125 race come on, I thought, "Well, either my DVR screwed up or someone got...." - that was when the news scrolled across the bottom of the screen.  What a loss.  Rest In Peace Marco.  GP races will not be the same without you.

Odd thought here, but what do you suppose the chances of Honda releasing a special CBR, wearing #58, would be?
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Depends on whether their PR people decide that the public would perceive it as "honoring a racer" or "cynically cashing in."

And just how many they think they'd sell.

I've never really been one to fancy the bikes done up in race schemes, but I think I'd seriously consider picking one of these up if they were built.
