And most if not all of my post is about HRC treatment of riders, all of them.

The fact that i want Nicky to do well on the Ducati is just that... if thats humping, then youre setting your standards pretty low, hate to see you too deep into the Jack Daniels at the local pub.

But like i said...funny sounding comment, you should put that in your back pocket for a better use.


i better stop now, theres still 3 month left in the year and youre going put me over the mark here....ta ta.

your insinuation that the ducati will increase Nicky's chances of top 3's seems a bit oppptimisticx no?

yeah, its optimistic.... thats all one can be since we havent seen what happens when hes on it.

Does that mean i cant get giddy with the thought of Nicky on it?...knowing that nicky has a ridding style that every one seems to think fits the Duc?...including livio suppo, whos opinion on the subject i value more than yours..no offense.

see...i want nicky to do good because i like hes ridding style and i would love to see it turn into good finishes...even wins. Also, hes a good guy..not that many in MotoGP. Also, unlike you, i think hes good enough to be, not only in GP, but on a factory team..he proved that by winning a title. As much as youd like to discredit that, he did win one. He had bad seasons..hes not Rossi that can make lemonade out of lemos every time.

DAMN IT!! im surely over 20 by now.

his style has nothing to do with different generations of Honda he was unable to do very well on points wise. he did manage to win the 2006 title and i am not even going to go there but let's just say he has floundered even since for a guy paid millions and while he might be a nice guy he is paid to win not make excuses. i do hope the change to the duke makes a dramatic change to nickies fortune but i am not sold on it was the bike and team making nicky flounder and if you think otherwise that is your opinion and good to go i spose

They are ALL paid to win. Few do. Does that make the other MotoGP riders any less? Or just Hayden? Rossi is probably the best there's ever been. That doesn't make the other riders a bunch of hacks, it just means Rossi will be a tough act to follow. And he's got class.

Hate the top American rider in MotoGP if you want to. I can't stand little Danny. Just like I couldn't stand Max. No class. They've got no class. Hayden is not the best, maybe not the top three, or top five, or top ten. But he's a damn talented rider who won the championship, despite being torpedoed by his own teammate. Can't take that away.

As for Honda, well, it's already very apparent, HRC certainly has no class. And I've bought many Hondas, and will again, I'm sure.

I eagerly await the new season, and I wish Nicky the best of luck and success.

Go Ducati!
