USA Redbull MotoGP - Laguna Seca - Sunday @ Motopia

[fastwin]

OK, that previous post may be wrong... at least the part about me. My friend has risen from the dead (he hurt his back) and now wants to come over after all to avoid some obnoxious in-laws that have appeared at his house. I think we can all relate. He's not feeling good enough for Motopia but will crawl over to my house just to escape crazy in-laws. He will call back in a bit to tell me for sure if he's coming or not. If he comes over I will be a no show for Motopia. Ryan, I will drop your pipes off tomorrow, just PM me and let me know if I can do like I did with the Sports1000 parts. If any Dallas wireless folks get this and you are in a car could you grab my cooler from Charles at Motopia? Sorry for the inconvenience.

Good Race...

It was a great race, I don't think it was "past the point".  Rossi's right, that racing.

What a race!

Past the point is GP250 125, WSBK and SS...  half the bikes have stickers from other bikes in the finish line...

The highlights of the Rookies Cup showed some great fairing bashing!

I agree 100%. I think he's disappointed in what happened to him. At least he said the wide run and fall were all his fault and didn't try to blame that on Rossi too. Heck, I've seen so many fairing banging races over the years in World SBK it's not funny. Didn't seen them whining afterwards. Rossi didn't do anything except ride the freaking wheels off that Yamaha... just like Stoner was doing. Too bad it didn't go all the way to the end. I still think the results would have been the same. The ball was definitely in Rossi's court today. Just awesome stuff!! Does it get any better?

had a good time at motopia, until I left and got a ticket for doing 23 mph over the limit.  I wasn't even doing 60.  I think I made it like 500-600 yards from motopia when he pulled me.  I didn't know there was a redlight around the corner, I was accelerating for the on ramp that wasn't there.  Oh well, could've been worse. Could've been 3 weeks from now and a ticket for 88 in a 35 instead of 58.

DAMN IT!!!  I needed a cardiologist after those first couple of laps   

I think Stoner wouldn't have been so pissy after the race if Rossi hadn't pulled that banzai bullshit IN THE F$%#NG CORKSCREW!  I'd be torque'd as hell too - lucky they weren't both Care Flight'd outta there... First friggin' lap... WTF?  Seriously.

But I suppose there can be no doubt after today that Rossi is one of the best riders to ever walk the planet.  Awesome stuff!

I BELIEVE!  Can I get an 'Amen'?

^^^ damn...i shouldn't have read this post  ^^^

[fastwin]

Yes, amen. He could have won today pushing a wheelbarrow. Does anyone on this planet live as sweet a life as Rossi? He's the best (maybe ever, great argument!), single, Italian, super fun loving, huge fan base, very approachable and gregarious, always smiling and talking 100 miles a minute, paid millions for doing what he loves and would probably do for free and just seems to be busting open all the time with pure joy and happiness. He is MotoGP. He personifies the sport. Michael Schumacher was great and did the same for F1, but he was a cold, calculating German driver and it came across that way. Rossi is just busting at the seams as a fun loving, life loving, motorcycle loving, wild eyed Italian boy! He just exudes what we all feel and love about scooters. He just rocks. What a great time to be alive and witness greatness like that. Long live the king.

Long live the king.

now all he needs to do is take some Rosetta Stone english lessons....

i'm told by the T.V. that it's the foremost method for learning a second language....  now if i could just learn italian...i couldn't keep the girls away     maybe i just need to watch more rossi interviews...
