    More throttle and he might have saved it.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    And another shot.

    OUCH! IT'S GONNA HURT!

    EDIT: The article (and pic) has been pulled of the CycleNews site?
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    was that Rossi trying to hide a smile behind that towel?!
    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "

    This one might just see the Bridgestones coming to the fore Bill ?
    As usual my bet is for Rossi . Hopefully grip will be consistant for him, not like the last two races.
    Your boy Stoner should be up front too , lets hope for dry and a good fight.
    Gaz.
    ps Crasher, you feeling confident in your Austruckinfailian ??

    Absofuckinglutely. I'm sure you'll agree the last two rounds were a tad unlucky for him. That's racing as you know...he'll be there with bells on.

    Form is temporary, class is permanent.

    True that, look at Nicky Hayden - had some temporary form in 2006, and that's it.

    I don't quite agree with ya there. While he's struggling with the 800's, I think if they'd stayed with the thous, he'd be there or thereabouts I reckon.

    Mind you...I guess the 'real' good ones adapt better than the rest.

    To be honest. I dunno what's gonna happen - but I'll enjoy watching it happen

    Looks like the front end came unstuck/got a bit of air as he flicked from right to left, then must've landed pointing right a bit too much, tipping the bike suddenly to the left, the correction then causing the highside?

    Lucky he got off with no serious injuries.
