After reading the little debate abot Super Sic's quote, and how it looks very similer to a quote Bert Munro said, it got me thinking, what other neat quotes are out there that the racers have come up with?

For starters, heres one:
When asked, "Are you going to get on a bike again?"
Barry Sheen replied, " Of course I'm going to ride again, it wasn't my fault I bloody crashed".

This after one of the fastestest crashes in history at Daytona, and braking many bones.
