MotoGP 2013

Just watched the race tonight. Must say I enjoyed that! those top three had a great race. I do wonder if Pedrosa has enough of a killer instinct to take the lead over Jorge or Marquez. He looked to have speed to spare catching up but not able to close the deal once he got there.
Some good battles further down the order as well. I enjoyed watching Rossi and Bradl battle there for a while and of course Bautista and Rossi. For some reason watching Bautista being chased by Rossi reminds me of a rabbit running from a greyhound

Maybe... but i had a feeling he was punting the 883's after the MZ's at the SOT

See post # 2624 I think.

Pretty sure he did, had a bloody long & successful career in an era that had a lot of good riders. Check out the save at 1 min 24 secs in this vid.

'Crasher' was a crasher !

It is easier to learn to keep a bike upright, than it is to learn to go fast.

Actually I shouldn't say that, when i was younger that was a derogatory label.

I only missed the first and last years of 883 Twinsport mate...and Glen Williams was never a pilot whilst I was there.

Was $500.00 for a race win, $400.00 for 2nd, $300.00 for 3rd and $100.00 back to 10th place. Was way more than any other class was paying back then...hence a lot of the top punters getting involved. The late Robert Holden, Andrew Rangi, Brett Richmond, Ant Young, Bruce Anstey, Simon Turner, John Hepburn, Wayne Clarke etc etc. Was hard work for sure. Fucking good fun though.

Wasn't there a series bonus as well? $10K or summat?

Yeah there was. Can't remember how much it was though. I know in Aust it was a new 883 I think from mem.

He raced them for 1 season must have been the first, sponsored by Shaft.

Ah yep. Bet he was fast on the fucking things too then. Didn't seem to matter what he rode.
