Big difference being Mark, this is a site where we wind each other up about our fav racers etc.

I have no issue with that and will give as good as I get.


I don't have a collum on a website viewed by millions where I slag off a guy on a regular basis that's achieved more than I ever did.

Then try playing the ball and not the man.If he say's something you don't agree with then counter argue it.Saying he's a fudgepacker might cut it on facebook but on here you just come across as a post-count freak.


PS: What makes you think the Honda is the best race bike out there? Looks to me the Yamaha is. Fastest in a straight line (normally the Ducati by the way) doesn't = best. Thought you might've sussed that one out by now!

Agreed!Best equals all-round package and ease of riding,Honda's millions and Repsol backing has ensured this for years.Unfortunately they hav'nt had a decent championship contender until Casey last year.This year they still do have the "best" bike but your man is just being plain outridden by Lorenzo at the mo.

So unhitch ya panties. Seems you like throwing mud my way 'bout Stoner, but can't hack it when some comes back your way 'bout Schwantz.

Hypocrites...they're everywhere.

Truth be told I have admired Casey's riding talent since he was on the KTM 125.And I agree with a lot of what he is saying regarding the future direction of MotoGP and why he is retiring.
But my slagging off of Casey is always in regards to his riding not his personal/private life bacause basically on a motorcycling forum i'm not interested in any it ...something you have said numerous times.
And something a man of Schwantz's integrity would never stoop to.

Is this Kevin Schwantz who is extremely racist we're talking about here? Such integrity!! Think you need to lighten up a bit.

And for the record, I have every bit as much respect for Lorenzo's skills as I do Stoners. I simply don't think he's as exciting to watch.

Now I've gotta tell ya Mark...Schwantz must be plain blind or a fucking liar if he couldn't see Stoner was physically ill when he came in after those races before he skipped three. He nearly had to be lifted off the bike. He'd been vomiting in his helmet, and was grey in colour and week as piss. Now don't be telling me Schwantz is a Doctor in his part time either. So I always found these comments odd, when Schwantz wouldn't know what the fuck was wrong with Stoner. But he should've been able to see he was seriously sick, and a danger to anyone else on the track if he'd tried to race on. But oh no...





Dean Adams: Can you touch on the Casey Stoner situation a little bit, a lot of mysterious stories going around at the moment. You've been to several MotoGP races this season, what have you heard, what have you seen, what do you think?

Kevin Schwantz: Well I guess first of all what I've heard and what I've seen is that Casey's been struggling with some type of an illness, whether it was a stomach bug or whatever, at a bunch of the earlier grand prix that I went to. Of course the last one I went to at the Czech Republic he wasn't there, still with no form of illness that's been diagnosed by any doctors that I've heard, anyway.

As a rider, my gut feeling is Casey needs to be out there competing. This championship, when he made a tire choice at Donington which seemed to be a little bit off of the norm, had him right at the top of it. I mean, he didn't need to be making a gamble on tires like that when he was in the championship hunt. For me that told me there was more going on with Casey than just "you know I don't really feel all that good but I'm finding a way to perform." And for me, to have signed a contract whenever it was, beginning of this year, beginning of last year, whenever it was, you're signing a contract to compete unless something is medically wrong with you. I'm out there doing the best that I can, whether I can give 100% every weekend is kind of another question.

For me it's a real disappointment. I think Casey's a great competitor and I think ... maybe a little bit more of this has something to do with something behind the scenes that none of us quite yet know about. Maybe that's some Stoner hard feelings towards Ducati or towards the series or I don't exactly know what it's going to be. But to just decide to skip three race and see if you feel any better at the end of it to me is a little bit out of the norm.


Bit rich coming from a guy that quit three races into the 1995 season wouldn't ya think?

When did this turn into Stoner vs Schwantz debate so over it and a certain posters soap box fanatical rants on way Stoner is the greatest rider of the modern era yeah bla-bla-bla.......
We've all got our all time greats be it bikes or riders lets leave it at that.
Schwantz is paid to comment on the racing and give insight into the pits, it's just his views take it or leave it.

Thanks, but I do not feel qualified to contribute. I'm still very much at the "oh look, a wheelie!" level. Or maybe just making the tea.

You're a motorcyclist and have an opinion. That's all that matters here!

Motorcycling, yup. Fudgeteers? no.
I like my riding traditional, like.

About that...

By this event, KR had been retired from active racing for nearly 2 years....

KR has been married twice - first wife was Pam and they got married early, and got divorced around the early 80's I think. She was never really fussed about racing IIRC.... so you'd have hardly seen her! KR being bent is like trying to convince me the sun comes up in the west....

I found an article a while back in an old Cycle mag (who can remember those!) written by Danny Coe. He was supposed to ride that YZR the next day but Kenny broke the gear box in the second leg.
