Drill....I’m not lost for words at all...I haven’t been on the forum...and please!!!...I’m not stirring the pot at all mate! I’m only outlining certain posts and I’m definitely not saying that all posts are!!!...I enjoy reading most 99% but the other 1% are the ones that really leave me “gobsmacked” as you would say!!! That is all nothing more and nothing less...
And Drill by you saying this “Thats coming from a Stoner fan who admired his spirit from the LCR days,hell,there isn`t much between them in reality”...
I totally agree with you mate!...but I’m really getting sick of this...“yes but Dani was the superior rider in the 125’s, 250 days”....
How could it have been when Dani was on works Honda rides and Casey was on a KTM which was a new team to the 125’s and in the 250’s Casey was on the LCR that wasn’t a factory team. This year both riders are on the “Ridgy-Didge” (aussie slang for: original, genuine)...so no excuses...that the Honda is this, the Michelins are this....it’s all even, and if you read Casey’s interview on speed...and I quote casey’s words...
” don’t know what the real HRC stuff is like. They were always telling me last year that I was on the same stuff as Dani and Nicky but now I see that was a whole load of crap. There is no way that they give the same stuff to the satellite teams that the factory team has and it is the same thing with the other companies providing products. They tell you, ‘you are on the same this and that,’ but it is just not true and now I can see that from the outside because, like I said, my bike changed from session to session and it wasn’t anything to do with anything the team was doing. The team was doing a great job, but it was the companies playing around”...
Drill this is what I have been saying and have known for years mate...classic examples of the past are: Agostini, Spencer when Freddie was on the V4 Honda and the rest of the satellite Honda teams were on the V3’s, just ask Mamola, Gardner, Haslam and all the satellite riders, they would have given an arm and a leg to be on the same equipment as Freddie was on...
Drill...I got it right and you know how it is “the truth always hurts” But some of the replies have really been just outrageous and as I have said downright `arrogant & ignorant’ and to start naming would take a whole chapter, I know that some of my replies have been out of line and I would like to apologise for that....
Cheers brother!!!
I tip my hat to you,you are LOUD .....BUT.....also very knowledgeable.
