Ahem!!! I think you're forgeeeeeeeting someone..........

Ask Roogazza how phenominally fucken fast I am mate.....

You're fast, Jimmy. But the points are scored at the finish line, not the start line

Not by winning the warm up lap you mean.

Funny, he never really struck me as super quick, more like a man riding beyond his and the bikes limits in an effort to keep up with everyone else. He was bloody good at riding over the limit but I just got the impression that Lawson, Rainey and co were able to ride faster easier. Beattie did pretty well on the RG too so the bike can't have been too far off the pace.

Ever watched him racing the GSXR superbike back in the 80's? I think you'd find it hard to say he wasn't fast, and smooth as well. The RGV500 that he battled with in the late 80's and early 90's was a far different beast to the one the Beattie rode, and even so it was an RGV500 that ended Darryl's career. Most people who rode any of the early RGV500's stepped off saying it wasn't a pleasant bike to ride, so while Schwantz most definitely had the pace and talent in him to take it to Doohan/Gardner/Rainey etc, he had his work cut out for him in the form of the bike he rode.

Ahhhhh you know me well chaps, I can't deny

It was a bit like the current Suzuki MotoGP bike; it had flaws that are quite nasty at times and it was a bike that did bad things for many careers. It's amazing that Schwantz was able to hold onto the thing and win on it.

just thought this is worth dragging out again...Schwantzy even has time to give Rainey the glad eye.




Makes Rossi's last lap/corner move last year (some wag's rate as the best ever) on Lorenzo at Catalunya look like a sunday cruise.

Just for the music nerds the song with that clip was "willst du mitt Mir gene" (do you want to come with me) By Nina (of 99 red balloons fame)

Oh, and these guys make riders today look like the sissy they are.... All except the guys that came from 5hundies... Rossi, Capriossi,Checa, and so on where riding like that when the smokers ruled the track.... Pooftahs Like Stoner, Lorenzo And so on wouldn't last through first practice riding machinery like that, and the guys in The sixties and 70's tougher again.

Bah, Let's face it.... Most of todays Rider (but not all) are pole Smoking wooftahs compared to these guys.

[White trash]

BAck in the day when real GP racing took place. Recd by real racers.

Not fucking primadonnas playing it up for the media with stupid costumes and 10 million Euro salaries. No games, just proper hard cunts taking it to each other on track.

Mate...you're full of shit. They're all hard cunts. ALL of them have had HUGE nasty get offs and keep coming back for more. They're going WAY faster than they used to as well.

[slowpoke]

Yep, gotta agree with that. We're talking about the best of the best, and even the slowest dude in MotoGP is a fuggin amazing talent. Totally different skillset compared to "back in the day" but you don't get to that level without being a driven hard bastard who can take the knocks. Look at Bautista, Rossi and Hayden racing with busted up bits and pieces in the last few races....and here we are taking a day off work when we've got the sniffles or a hangover. Plenty of playboys who larked it up for the media back in the day too, so nuthin' new now.

Pffft, I suspect you may be a bit young to remember what real racers are like, so I will only back a decade or so

The days of no traction control, slipper clutches, radial calipers,fuel injection, and so on..... when the rider was 70% of the machine.........


From these two images, who is the most likely to kiss boys...... number 1 or number 2

I will give you a clue, hetrosexual hard racing men are most unlikely to wear silver suits.

Well seeing as I'm 43 and have been watching road racing since I was ten...I reckon I've seen a fair bit. I've been to god knows how many GP's...both when they were 500's and in the four stroke era.

I've also raced at national level and won. So while I'm no GP racer...I know a bit about what it takes. So for you to call any single racer at that level soft or a pussy shows just how little you know.

Your not worthy of their ball bag sweat. But you'd probably like to taste it.

By the way Mr hard man scooter boy...dunno if you realize that Mr Silver Suit raced with two broken ankles not so long ago. He's also thrown himself through the air in a nasty fashion quite often. You reckon Lorenzo ain't a hard cunt? Maybe it's you that hasn't been round for long.

Bet if you even rolled yours you'd be wanting to suck ya mummy's tits.

[SS90]

It's always funny how the annonaminty of the net can give false impressions..... I too have raced at a national level (and won), and raced with a broken ankle ( sure didn't win that weekend)

Don't get ya Nickerson in twist though, rating riders can be a polarizing thing.

I am lucky enough to live in Europe, and get to go to most European rounds for the last 4 years, and I have seen how they are quite tough, and I am not saying I am better than them, but I don't put the current top guys in the same league as guys like Doohan, Scwantz,Rainey,Mamola, Even Mckoy, and Williams.

When the financial rewards are as high as they are now, and the medical treatment and rehabilitation so good, the motivation and ability to get back on the bike are somewhat high.

None of the current crop of racers have to turn up to the meeting, towing their bike in a trailer, mark out their pit with tape, on a grass field, work on their own bike, race 3 classes (win them all) then drive home again.

Even 20 years ago that was common place.

I don't rate hardness of a rider by the ability to learn to accept the traction control will work in order to go fast (what was Spies biggest probllem this year..... Dealng with extra grip the tyros had???!!)

Just look at how the likes of Stoner,Lorenzo,Hayden and Spies have risen to the top in MotoGP, with out even doing one lap on a 500.... Rossi stall talks of th incredible power delivery of the 500's ( listen to his comment on the DVD "faster")

These guys have entered the class and, pretty much with-in a few months set lap records..... Put them on a 500 and see what happens.

Like I say, hardness of a rider in my book doesn't revolve around their ability to utilize the best physic in the world to get riding again, it is more about the whole package...

Silver spaceman suit indeed.... You do realize that not even the Spanish fans think that's cool, they look away in embarrassment when he acts like that... He is just trying upstage the showman antics that Rossi and Biagggi did......years ago.

Would not see Doohan doing that.

Steel leg braces for men, silver jumpsuits for cock gobblers.

I have attached a spy shot of the outfits Lorenzos' team are wearing for the final round of MotoGP this year.

Odd. You call Stoner and Lorenzo pooftas...but reckon Capirossi and Checa are hard cunts. Apart from 250's...Capirossi hasn't won a championship. Last time I checked...Stoner had. Lorenzo is about to. And Checa? Fuck off noddy. Why do you think he's where he is?

500's? Stoner would love to ride and race one. Just because he came along after the demise of them doesn't make him any less hard than the old farts that did ride them. In case you've had your head up your arse for a few years...Stoner has been asking for 1200cc engines and NO TRACTION control for a while now. Maybe because he's an ex flat track champ and loves going sideways eh? You must've seen the shots of him sideways at PI at 240kph? A pussy? Soft?

Fuck off. Lorenzo? Soft? What...because you don't like the way he celebrates? Again...fuck off. He's harder than you could dream of being.

20 years ago it was common practice to turn up to a GP towing your bike and trailer and mark out your own pit spot was it? Fuck off. 20 years ago was 19 fucking 90. Never once saw racers of that era do anything of the fucking sort. 1960's and 70's maybe. But so what?

What it actually comes down to is this...you're calling todays best GP racers pussies...because you don't like they way they celebrate...and you're jealous of them and the money they have yeah?

Because lets face it...the aliens aren't human weather you like to admit it or not. And they're all as hard as fuck.
