I'm going to take a hammer and beat in a space for me to stand or sit on my tank on my new '06. Oh wait, not I'm not. I'll ride it like it was designed for.

I didn't get to see the show. If someone's got a link, I'd sure like to form my own opinion. Until then, I'm keeping an open mind.

u said and i quote " By the way 1)Rossi is still the best rider in the world". i said no hes not ,and i have facts to prove it. what do you have ?? how do you know how many times i watch moto gp??? i have a dvr and it records every time its on . ama's, fim superbike and moto gp. but like turnin20s said i cant stand to watch gp because even if rossi crashes thats all they talk about, rossi could be in last place and they will talk about what a brilliant ride he has had. **** if rossi crashes they might as well end the race huh? wouldnt want anybody else to win ... yo you probably cant stand or sit on your tank anyways so smashing it in aint gonna help... these bikes were designed to race so if you aint racing dont ride it, and dont race on the damn street. NO STUNTING ON THE STREET = NO EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE CORNERS ...... fair is fair guys grow up!!!!!!!! i love the double standard .... u cant stunt on the street but **** you can go out on the back roads and do 150mph!!!!!!

What are you watching. Where are these facts. I know i don't dvr stuff I can't stand the watch. I never said he's the best ever but after being pro almost 10 years and according to you second all time in wins he just might suck. He's been DOMINATE for the past few seasons. 2 stroke or 4 stroke take your pick. The man broke his hand in qualifing and did't finish first so he sucks. There're are nine more races left in the season and ONE win from ranking second in points and all of a sudden cause you say so he sucks. I'm not going to get in to abilty w/ you because if Rossi sucks I"M afraid you might hurt my feelings and say.......I suck too. Next your going to say Micheal Jordan sucks! Maybe Micheal Schumacher can take driving lesson from you!
I have no problem w/ the act of stunting, such a shame to ruine a nice machine. Stunt where ever you want just don't squid out and hit me. The only problem is the shat spewwing from your mouth about one of the greatest individuals to ride a motorcycle.
If anyone else thinks Rossi sucks AND he should just drop out of the standings cause he only one 3 races so far and he sucks please let me know so I can go play in traffic doing Christs or stand on the tank after I bash it in. Here's my Favorite rider!!!! Considering he never won a GP race and I wouldn't mine being him for a year or more. Does he suck to?

Theres alot of individuals taking things very personal here. I didnt watch Superbikes as I had a feeling that it would give our sport a bad name. The last thing we need is a politician getting a hold of this and making it their personal mission to restrict the life out of the freedoms we enjoy so much. That was the reason i didnt watch it.

Now the comment about Rossi not being the class of the field because hes injured and only in 4th place with 9 races to go? That rationale would be consistant with saying that Schumacher is a less of a champion because Alonso with Renault has had 2 excellent years winning. Do you think Duhammel and Zemke are any less of riders because Spies and Mladin are running away with races this year. Might I also remind all that winning is much more than an individual affair in racing. Winning is seriously dependent on not only your actions but your mechanics, pit crew, engineers, administrators (providing you are racing in a team environment), in such areas as how engineers accurately interpret wind tunnel testing or telemetry data, and you wouldnt be able to have testing if it wasnt for administrators setting that up at tracks, wind tunnels which in turn costs money from sponsors. Lets not forget about that enigineers does not only refer to team engineers, but engineers that design the machines you perform on or in. A design flaw from the factory can take your teams hardwork and drivers/riders ability and make it moot. The driver/rider is the last link that can take the teams effort, expertise, and experience and translates it into competitional ability. So when referring to Rossi, Schumacher, Carmichel, any driver/rider that has won several championships or even someone who has won just one...To say anyone sucks for all the factors to come together in a year to win a championship over your competetors just to have things not come together the next year in no way has any bearing on individual ability what so ever. So I question the statements about Rossi as more of a personal opinion, just as my statement above is my opinion. I contend that there has been no concrete information that supports Rossi is less of a rider because of his standings this year. That would be like saying you dont like a rider who is not winning consistently. To attain the level of racing is proof enough of ability, but to win in that level is evidence of ability.

i agree with what your saying but i hate rossi the same way i hate 50cent.when all you hear about is rossi you either like him or hate him, when all you hear on the radio is 50cent you either like him or hate him. i can only take it for so long. what i am saying is give rossi a damn rest if he aint in the top 10 riders, but damn all they do no matter what place he is in, rossi rossi rossi, ohh rossi is haveing a great race he is moving up from 13th to 12th, man i dont know about you but i dont care, they dont talk about any other racer that much. all they talk about is rossi. doesnt matter. it is clear to me that it is a true team effort to win races but, the team aint out there riding the bike they are taking comands from the rider on how he wants the bike to be. so in reality it all revolves around the rider anyways. the guys only job is to make the bike feel the way the rider wants it to..... there is nobody that cant say rossi isnt a good rider but so is about everybody out there that races they just dont get there name called out 120000 times during a race when there sitting in 12th place... i think the people in the top ten deserve the face time not just rossi.
