Casey Stoner retired young. Why?

How sad to see a thread dedicated to racing motorbikes ( what we all dream of doing ) being dragged down to personal insults.

Any professional rider who quits at any stage does it for reasons best known to himself. There has been many drivers/riders whos personality I couldn't cotton to, ( Stoner was one ) but I've always admired and respected their skills.

Anyone who goes racing gives me a lot of enjoyment. As a kid at the Ardmore Grand Prix I used to feel sorry for the racer who came last. Now, I'd give anything to be finishing last on a motorbike.

I have today off, so I'm riding my scooter out to Oparua later to watch the Enduro racing. Dont know any body competing, but it's watching and listening to motorbikes all day. Gotta be good.

sorry for my part in that

Fuck off. If I wanted to resort to personal insults you'd see far fruitier language! Stoner never left mid season. He was seriuosly ill. He got himself sorted and came back. Is there something wrong with that? Seriously. Are you that anti that you can't see the truth? And I assume you're calling me a *fanboi*?

Yes? What do Rossi's nuts taste like? Poos?

I'll have a dozen mac's malt thanx pete...none of that stieny shit either.

I don't gravitate towards any one racer in particular. Some I like, some I dont. - interesting though that you have a mild hissy fit anytime some one dares to suggest your favourite wee fella is a dick! - take your tongue out of stoner's ass and you might see that!

Let's get something real clear. If I was to lick Stoner butt...it'd be Mrs Stoners. I don't throw a hissy fit if you slag Stoner off becuase you think I love him. It's because I think you're talking shit is all. I'd do the same if I thought you were talking shit about Doohan, Rainey or any other racer. If I think you're talking shit...I tell you. If you call me out for talking shit and it turns out I am, I'll own it and say "my bad, sorry 'bout that!"
