another place where bikes are a hell of a lot more exciting than cars. that X factor of a rider manning out the pain really adds to the excitement

Troy Bayliss and his amputated little finger still kicked ass and take names.

I don't like Stoner because he has the personality of a dead mackerel BUT I have a lot of respect for him. Obviously his wrist was screwed since last year's crash AND he was sick of whatever ailment. He was pale as fuck during all those after race interviews and looked like death warmed over, yet he still podium finished several races.

I agree with this...don't like him...do respect his ability though.

He was fast but wild on the privateer/satellite Honda, then gelled w/ the Duc. Dont think he woulda been champ on a 990, probably wont be champ again. I like him cause like Hayden he is a rags to riches kinda Rocky Balboa with a prettier wife!

You know this is where I'm gonna come in with Pedrosa winning the 250cc championship with two broken ankles against Stoner and Lorenzo, I think...
