The man's a legend without equal.

Add to that it was five years since he'd crashed either in practice or a race, the last being a 600 at levels.....

Which was a mechanical fault, I think a radiator hose blew off & doused the rear tyre.
Or was that when the caliper fell off?

Didn't he stay on when the caliper failed?

yeah that was during qualifying at ruapuna one year, seen that and it looked all pretty low key really, but of course it could've been very different

Then there was the Manfeild crash that didn't help his title hopes.

pass, i only follow racing.
on that note I might have to buy a netflix pass to fill in half the weekend at HD nationals this season..., or turn towards state highway one it will be just as exciting.

Indeed. It sucks balls. But def is part of it. MM lost and engine this year, Rossi the other year. She's a cruel mistress.

He high sided the churbro coming onto the front straight of Taupo.

This is the first I've heard about a water pipe coming off.

In total I won the most races in the Championship, I had the fastest laps, all but 1 pole position and I won the TT and GP titles

your riding and results were better than i'd expected for the season to be honest. The season before was a dream season with one small off in practice at levels, and while a lot is up to the rider the aussie boys you had on your team were experts on bike set up etc were just the ticket to make the whole thing work so well.
i've seen many a team have that expertise only to flounder when it wasn't available, you and your team didn't.
nobodies mentioned here the dnf in the final race at teretonga whiched sucked a lot of points out of your campaign either
Tony spoke well at HD and said at the end of the day he didn't ride hard enough.
looking forward to this season in just a few weeks, just hope this is resolved before then.

Put the fat bucket rider on an adult bike & see what happens.

Maybe its time do do away with all the rules and just have a court of KB to decide all disputes in the off season

He'd probably do better than all the 'adult' bike racers I've seen show up at a Bucket meetings spouting how they are going to wipe the floor with the regulars but actually found it a lot harder to get to the pointy end than it looks. Except for Paul Dobbs, that cunt was fast out of the box on just about anything.
