After reading 7 pages of posts this is what I came to realize...

I like all the sniveling you little whores do... it about tickles the shit outta me. "Rossi leg humpers" this Hayden blah blah that.
You say silly little crap about Rossi, and Hayden, but the truth is neither of them has fallen off. They both still ride in a similar fashion if not better than they did last year.
So shut it, and stop being girly ass cheerleaders, doin the he say she say highschool BS.

You said the same shit about Kenny Jr.... UNTIL?
Until he started placing in the top 5 regularly and pushing previous champs around on a home built chasis (made by Dad and company)... and a second rate motor from HRC. And when he did start placing near the top on RENT-A-CENTER Equipment I couldn't hear none of you bandwagon riding whores say a damn thing.
So basically you don't know shit, and stop acting like you do. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

This would be a pretty boring place if everyone took Furious Styles' advice.

But now I understand why he calls himself Furious.

FWIW I am a fan of KRJr. Towards the end of last season the KR211V was real competitve and placing well. The 800cc engine tossed that program upside down more than even the other satellite teams. Then throw in the tire rule and you can understand their struggles. Not to mention they hardly get any help from HRC. Their engine is basically the same from the beginning of this season.

Ahem...

Burgess: single tyre would be 'illogical'

The latest scuttlebut from Superbike planet:

"Valentino Rossi is not a happy man, in fact is unhappy enough to describe
himself as currently being at a bigger disadvantage to the competition than
when he joined Yamaha in 2004. It's not just the tyres, although he is still
pretty pissed with Michelin. First there's the bike, Valentino says the M1 still
has overheating problems and he wonders if a straight four is at an inherent
disadvantage to the V4. Whatever, he says, the Yam needs? something brand
new. Currently he is 10kph down not just on Stoner but also on Dani Pedrosa."

I wonder if the problem isn't compounded by the loss of Mr. Yoda. He left Yamaha after 2004, and went to Kawasaki. Since then the ZXRR has gotten better and better, while the M1 (which was great in '05) has gone to sh!t.

along the same lines... what effect did the tragic death of Edouard Michelin & the retirement of director of competition Pierre Dupasquier, in 2006 have on Michelins MotoGP efforts.

I would agree with that IF they hadnt downgraded to the 800 platform. Why is it so hard to understand developmental yrs like this one will have ill effects on some teams?

Forgive me, but isn't the Kawi ZXRR still an inline four cylinder? Has it been suffering from overheating? Down on top speed?

247 · #**154** (**permalink**) 10-22-2007, 02:21 PM

Forgive me, but isn't the Kawi ZXRR still an inline four cylinder? Yes.

Has it been suffering from overheating? Not that we know of.

Down on top speed? Not anymore, they are quite close to the Ducati.

Great, now if someone could just remind Valentino of this .........

Maybe Valentino is starting to feel that the I4 a third place machine whereas
the V4 is a first place machine???

well rossi gets stones next year.
what will he whine about if he tanks in 08

it would only sweet justice if michelin gets their act together and are the top dog for tires next year

sqd8r · #**160** (**permalink**) 10-23-2007, 09:19 PM

Exactly.

These things are cyclical.

Which is what Burgess is intimating. rossi will find himself out of sorts once again when Michelin are able to provide a quality tire. I agree with Stoner, one bad season doesn't mean dump the supplier and as Burgess has made quite clear in another interview valentino made plenty of errors which were not tire related. In other words, valentino lost the title fair and square and the excuses need to stop. His comments imply that Stoner didn't beat him based on talent but on tires and engine configuration. Given the results of the other ducati riders I think that is a poor assessment.

Kind of sad to see him cracking like this. The end is nigh. It wa a good run val, go rallying I hear they don't run Michelins there.

What's really sad is Dorna threatening Bridgestone if they don't supply rossi.
