Nope. Think they still use Honda XR100's.

Christ. You been over at Viscount Montgomery's place sharing the glass pipe with him mate? And if I may say so...bit rich coming from you. You did your fair share of bitching and snivelling about your ZX6 not being as good as everyone else bike didn't ya?

And if Stoner is so useless, and you're so good, how come he could win races on the Ducati he supposedly turned to shit, yet you couldn't sort out a Kawasaki people were winning on elsewhere in the world? Just asking.

That was mean! Yeah sure did, I had a shit of a year. Then changed and broke myself instead, that one backfired! Stoner jumped on that bike, with no MGP wins under his belt, and disappeared 2007 - noone got close. At that point he was the development rider, right up to now. 2nd year on the bike, he had a good start to the year and then fell to bits after Laguna (Inc some of Rossi's shittier moves - and I agree he is a shocker for them). 2009 he had such a shocker an illness that supposedly had been with him for years got the better of him and he took time off - came back very strong though. 2010 and he was lucky to keep it upright until the second half of the season where he was either winning, or nowhere. And apparently over that period the bike was getting harder and harder to ride, and he just couldn't work it out. Where else in the world was there winning going on on that ZX-6R? I should have gone there!

By the way...if you like stats...remember this. Stoner has won more races head to head with Rossi, in the time they've both been on factory bikes.

Yeah, a couple more wins over the same period. How about wins over Lorenzo though? Equal over the same period since Lorenzo started in MGP, Lorenzo well higher if you give him a grace year to get used to big bikes and broken ankles.

Rossi has threatened to leave Yamaha if they don't make the bike faster. He threatened to leave Yamaha if they didn't half way through a season change to Bridgestone (unheard of). He threatened Yamaha if they signed Lorenzo he'd leave.

Didn't Yamaha let Luca Cadalora change to Michelin from long-time partner Dunlop mid-year in 93? He wasn't even a rider worth holding on to - Yamaha are good at keeping their riders happy (unless your Max Biaggi, lost cause).

He's got a sore shoulder. Even though he's had an operation to fix it, and yet he was winning races last year on it when it was supposedly still fucked.

And you reckon Stoner is a moaner?

No wonder you rode a Kawasaki. You love the colour green!

Yeah, Rossi is very good at sneaking in a winge - he can be terribly bitchy. Lorenzo and Pedrosa though, you don't hear too much untoward complaining from them - guys who are in a similar situation.

I do love green, it looks good on me

If you wanna learn to really ride or wanna teach your kids to ride with great bike control!

Do it on the dirt!!

You wanna be a good road racer, go round and round in circles on dirt or sand first.

That, or get good at Trials.

Now aint that the truth. Off-road makes OK riders, good riders and good riders, brilliant riders.

With Trials being the University and CC and MX the Academy.

And there's three other guys with the same HRC 'advantage'...but no...Stoners bike will be better than the others!

Yip, best bikes end up with best rider - such is life. That rule pretty much applies to any of the factory entered machines - none of them are mugs at spotting talent.

If Stoner never had his moments of "the wobbly lower lip" - i could throw a bit more support his way. All the top guys have their own issues that the media love to portray, VR suffers from wry smugness, Pedrosa with his stone-faced approach, Lorenzo - exudes cocky confidence.

If any of those traits rub someone up the wrong way - then you tend to support the 'other guy" - whomever that may be.

Or it could be that your just plain weird like my wife & simply like the colour of the bike whizzing around, & she's like Jay, Green is good :-). (not much to watch in gp that colour though aye P !)

[scracha]

As you serve me freshly made icecream laden milkshakes whilst I watch the racing. Good girl!

Yeah, likely sorry guys. I will see if I can sort it out but I have been in racing denial and staying away from it!
