Yooperbikemike's 2013 MotoGP Thread

After many broken bones, Travis Pastrana now races Nascar. To quote him "with age, get a cage"

I'm a few months shy of 60.
When I opt off the bike and into a fucking cage. Shoot me.
I see no point in racing a car. MIght as well have grandma's Beelchfire 88 stationwagon.
How long before he's in a casino with a bucket of quarters playing the slots?
If you're walking away, walk away.

It's like FOX can't give up on Romney.
I thought he was going to spend time with his family?

Have a look at Aussie & NZ V8 racing, it's subtly different from Nascar... however I have to agree to chuck in MotoGP for Aussie V8s is a pretty odd decision.



Mind you, he is an Aussie and they are not known for their mensa candidates

They are in the car with him.

Why do New Zealand sheep farmers wear gumboots?


Back on topic.....

It's going to be a long wait before we really find out who, out of all the team/rider changes, is going to make the biggest diference for next year. It's going to be a boring summer, I think I'm going to ride more.

Make sure to pass along these sentiments to Sir John Surtees. I'm sure your wisdom will enlighten him.

You blokes have only had two- One designed motorbikes and the other was............? Hang on I'll think of it in a minute.......

i see dovi was faster than VR.....

Knew I could rely on you lot, now I'm just waiting for Bootlace to turn up.

one designed and built motorbikes and the other split some atoms or something.

Yes, faster by almost 4 seconds. While Bautista was almost 4 seconds quicker than Dovi.

Don´t know how much this kind of laptimes are worth. ​

Zero. Conditions were changing all the time, track was mostly wet, then it spat with rain, and rained a little more heavily in the afternoon. Can't take anything from those times.

Soo, when are the next tests?

You no give me the #11 stuff, I wanna new ones from the box

Marquez just 2 seconds off Pedrosa on his 1st time on the RC..

Looks like Yamaha is fielding a slammed M1 in 2013

Brad Smith, 1:35.775, Andrea Iannone, 1:35.6, Marq Marquez, 1:35.2.

Compare them to Johnny Rea who struggled mightily to get into that territory.
