Rossi accepts Cliffhanger Challenge

[roadracingoldfart]

I must confess that he was my second choice, but Barry Sheene is otherwise engaged and would be even harder to get here.

Oh dear...slightly bad taste there Clive.

Well one could say he will have a bit of divine intervention
(reason to protest) on his side.

Heck when Barry was alive he probebly would have come and had a go if he was asked to. Real helpfull chappie he was.

Ill go out on a limb and say Colin Edwards may be looking for a job next year anyhow so ask him to guest ride a 400 at the hillclimb.

No disrespect intended. Quite the opposite intended.

Colin would be lucky to get a ride on the Shower Buddy 400 wouldn't he?

Bullshit obviously.
However while talking shit with AJ Turbo (as you do) the other night, we wondered what a riding God like Rossi would make of the Cliffhanger. On identical machinery, how much quicker would he be than our current ruler, King Jay Lawrence? Would Jay's familiarity with the hill be enough of an advantage? Would Mr Rossi rock up, and be so full of highly compressed motorcycling ability, that he could knock out competitive times after the first couple of runs, or would he have as much trouble remembering the course as other first timers? Would he be bothered by the gravel on the corners?
I can only assume that guys like Rossi would tear it to pieces, but honestly don't know. How much faster is it humanly possible to get up there?

rossi would smoke em. hes 30kg lighter so bike would pickup heaps better brake better turn better go faster etcetc and hes way better i would think about 5-10 seconds up the hill look what johnny burkhart done his 1st go on a stock gsxr600 he almost bat J king of the hill pfft rossi may be up to 20 seconds
