WAVE!!!!!!!

Friday, September 21st, 2007

This morning on the way to work I waved to about 20 motorcyclists coming theテつ opposite wayテつ and not ONE waved me back. Usually at least some wave, so this was quite unusual. For 50 miles I was waiting for a wave back but it never came. I was gutted, how come all of the […]

Monday, September 17th, 2007

I think these pictures are pretty self-explanatory. Looks like theyテつ were scannedテつ from some magazine.

Valentino is back

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

Even though it’s a little too late in the season, Rossi has finally cracked his string of bad luck and finished on the top of the box at today’s Portugese Grand Prix. It seemed really unusual seeing him so happy about winning, we got used to his domination over the last few years that it […]

Racing War

Friday, September 14th, 2007

With the McLaren - Ferrari espionage scandal at full swing, there has been a lot of discussions about the legality of McLaren actions. FIA ruled that they were illegal, penalising them for $100 million. Is this fair? In racing teams focus on perfecting theirテつ equipment to the absolute limit, and in my opinion anything works. […]

Give him a credit!

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

It seems that a lot of Valentino Rossi fans believe that Casey Stoner is only winning because his Ducati and Bridgestones are superior to Yamaha and Michelins. I was at Laguna Seca closely watching all the riders practice and race and let me tell you that NOBODY rides harder and fasterテつ that Stoner. He is […]

Congratulations

Monday, September 10th, 2007

I just wanted to congratulate Grant Langston and Ryan Villopoto. Yesterday I witnessed these two riders clinch their AMA championships. I really wanted Townley to win in Lights division, but Villopoto beat him hands down. I’m wondering if these two will step up to 450’s next yearテつ and continue their rivalry.

In the beginning of the […]

Sickness that has no cure.

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

Last weekend I went through 6 hour rain storm in Wisconsin and Minnesota, rode through the hail in Iowa and Nebraska, navigated slippery and wet roads of Rockies, got blown around by 60mph winds in Utah, baked under 116 degree sun in Nevada and battled through typical SoCal traffic

Turkish GP

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

With Moto GP Circus traveling to Istanbul this weekend, all eyes are on Valentino Rossi. Can he win on the track that was never good to him? Tire choice will be crucial, and since none of the teams tested at this circuit on 800cc bikes they will have to take chances on setup. All this […]

Ducks on the track

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Well, it happened. Ducati officially threatened FIM to withdraw from WSBK racing in 2007テつ if they don’t change the rules to allow 1200cc V-Twins to compete along with inline fours screamers. Ducati has a long and successful history in SBK, theyテつ are the only manufacturer who stayed in it through all the years. If they […]
