Not the spec'U'lation I heard. Some bald prick told me he was gonna ride a Kum-and-suk-me.

Same. We must of missed out on some Bullshit somewhere along the way. :msn-wink:

[Blakamin]

I heard the same as WT... woulda looked shit on a green bike anyway!

[Marknz]

Keep up with the play you lot!

Bayliss was talking to Kawasaki, but Hoffman chose to stay, so they didn't have a seat for Troy. Now he'll be on a Honda, and will probably be outfinishing all the Ducati's next season and making them feel really silly.

Only when he's not getting stretchered out of the gravel traps

No, Ducati were the traitors.

[Blakamin]

Nah... they dumped him coz he was riding like shit... once your time is up, your time is up....
i only meant traitor to the sport... he shoulda stayed in WSB
dont get me wrong, I reckon he's a top bloke, but how many world champions lose a couple and make a comeback??? I think his time is passed... :weep:
i've even got a Bayliss model sitting pride of place in a wall unit... next to my genuine, sent from dave mustaine, megadeth's latest single... so he's up there
at least he's not on a kum suk me....


should really edit that traitor bit coz it come out all wrong

Bollocks! He wasn't riding like shit... it was a shit bike this year, everyone could see that. Follow me over Paekak hill and you'll see riding like shit. They gave him the humpty 'cause he wasn't getting results, but then Loris wasn't really doing much better was he. And while Loris did finish higher than Troy in the 2003 championship, and got Ducati's first win to boot, Troy did gain the respect of most of the top riders for his aggresive and competitive attitude in his first season in the big league.

You think his time has passed? Well I guess we'll find out in about 11 months time won't we... True it's unlikely he will ever win the MotoGP champioship, especially as long as Rossi's arse points to the ground... but I'm tipping Troy will be top 5 next year and there won't be a Ducati in kooee of him. He could be top 3, but Honda will do an Edwards on him and he won't get the new parts for the RCV.

You might be wondering why I'm defendng him so much? Simple. I'm tipping that I for one will never ever again see a professional rider crash twice during a wet premier class road race and still come home 5th... he is good, feckin' good.

Fairy nuff... not gunna argue, the guys an Aussie!.... I hope he does well, but I'm not gunna get my hopes up....
I wish he'd stayed in superbikes....
for me, watchin him, was nothin about the bike...that was a bonus... like doohan, he's an aussie :not: and so am I!
he was good... I hope he can be good again...
I hope Gary McCoy does well next year too...but like i said, i aint betting my bike on it!
and as ya said, as long as rossi's riding, no-one has a hope!

at least he's got more chance on the honda than he would on a kwakasaurus :apint: of Victoria Bitter if you've got it!

[riffer]

I hope Gary McCoy does well next year too...
Me too - I like his style and guts. But I reckon unless Petronas can find another 50 or so HP in that bike he's just not in the running,

Still can't understand why Ducati would want to replace Troy Bayliss with Carlos Checa or Careless Chucker?? What are they thinking??????????????

Obviously need to crash test the bike before they release the road version.

[Deano]

bayliss on a honda he still be crap on a crap bike

And where did Suzuki come in the standings Cajun ????? :finger:

Didn't really need to be said but I can't resist a bite.

[Nutter34]

It's official....

http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2004/Nov/041122a.htm

The man's on a Honda. May he kick the Ducks butt for failure of loyalty..... I mean, do they really think Careless Chucka is better than him? Yeah right!

[sedge]

Um... didn't Bayliss finish 3rd in the last MotoGP of the season... Yeah... what a crap rider :/... Ducati will be competitive next season, a large part of this will be from bikes designed around Bayliss' input.

Be ready to see him start winning if Honda keep him for more than half a season.

Sedge.

Maybe they wanted someone to keep Xaus company.....

[Hitcher]

Kum-and-suk-me.
So that's what a Suzuki rider's wet dream looks like?

I pick Chris Vermuellen to take the World Suberbike Championship for Ten Kate Team 2005 :yeah:

Does the TAB run a book on SBK?

They may do if they could turn a proift. But a profit is unlikely as the general public don't usually know anything about World Superbike. :disapint:

I'll second that. :2thumbsup
