I'm pretty sure they are doing exploratory surgery looking for a personality, if all goes well they will also try and surgically remove his mommy from his left hip...............

He is just trying to get that little bit lighter for MotoGP.

Oh!

That's why he's always talking about we did this and we did that... it's him and his mom. I thought he was just an egomaniac.

From Cycle News...

Spies said he was “having a couple little bitty issues with the bikes and... I know why we crashed...but we’re going to definitely pick it up a little bit more tomorrow... Realistically, we were .3 out of the top five. On the chart, we’re not looking that great, but we’re right there with times... So we’ll hopefully pick it up a little bit more tomorrow.”

Man, I really like Superbike Planet, but Dean's got to step it up a little. This is the third time in as many weeks that he's gotten scooped by Speedzilla. He's had the race results up much later than this forum, usually he's the first of all the cybermoto-journalists to get results and news.

Well the difference is Dean has a life. He's not just sitting in a dark musty room watching the tv with the new post already started waiting to hit submit as soon as the race results are.

As opposed to those of us who list all the bikes they'd like to someday own?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that Dean's JOB?
