Cheers Jumkie,

I'm not really a race rep guy but the prancing horses look well tasty. Have you ridden a Cagiva 900IE Lucky Explorer Elefant? That really appeals to me, that enging in a trailie chassis.....

Pete

Oh yeah and hope you all had a good christmas, mine was ....., we buried my father in law last friday, 6 months after my own dad, so to be honest its all been a bit crap.

Sorry to hear that Pete. That really sucks. I know what that's like, my dad died on a February and he was literally on his deathbed over the holidays when he passed.

I hope you can salvage whatever goodwill this holiday season brings you in spite of your hardship. It kinda puts all this motorcycle talk into perspective, doesn't it... Anyway, I found that sometimes my bike was a great consolation. It really puts you in a different mindset when taking a long ride. I hope you can get away a bit and take a ride somewhere with some friends.

condolences pete

I'm a Rossi fan. And i think Nicky in not the true champion of Moto GP(don't have other motive then i'm rossi fan). Is simple i dislike him because he won the season.
I enjoy the moment when his team mate crashed him Estoril 2006. At that time i was happy but Hayden has on 2006 the luck with him an won the title.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=419318574025504961

2006 is history. 2007 is coming.

Hope at the end off the season the ranking will be:

1. Valentino Rossi
2. Marco Melandri
3. Dani Pedrosa
4. Loris Capirossi
5. Chris Vermeulen

if I'm right with the first place I'm very happy.

About Pedrosa i think is a robot not human. Even in this picture if they are real he don't look different then i saw him on the season.

Soo... are u a fan now?

What is wrong with him? He looks more uncomfortable than........well Dani Pedrosa with women. I think after these pictures were taken he took a shower and had the doctor at Clinica Mobile (hope I spelled that correctly) administer a double dose of cootie shots.

Wow, look everybody, we have a real genius at work here. Your analysis and reasoning as to why Hayden is not the “true champion” is remarkable. You say your reason is “simple”; yeah I agree, cuz only this type of “simple” deduced logical thinking is spawned by a “simple” mind. (By the way, Simple also means Minimal).

Let me get this reasoning straight, you “dislike him (Hayden) because he won the season.” Hum. I guess if we were all like you, we would have disliked every previous non-Rossi champion because, in your illustrious rationale, he…. “won the season”. (Incidentally, this is precisely what a champ need to do to be a champ.) And so it begs the question, had Hayden not won the championship, would you not “dislike him”??? So since you are a “Rossi fan” are you not gonna like any future champions…when they do the unthinkable and…..”win the season”? Well I got some bad news for you, based on your reasoning (unless Rossi finds the fountain of youth) your gonna be busy “disliking” plenty of future champs.

So I see you think it was Hayden’s “luck” that won him the championship. By your reasoning, I guess your boy Rossi was lucky when he won all those championships too. So what was it that caused your boy Rossi to dump his bike when all he had to do is finish in the top ten to be the world champion? I was about as happy as you were in Estoril, but for me it was in Valencia. (Incidentally, it didn’t take someone else to take down your boy, he did it himself).


Oh, I noticed you are fairly new here. Welcome to the site.
(I say new even though you joined some time ago you've only managed to post 19 times).


(Hopefully you will sharpen your intellectual skills and actually make some sense next time.)

When you're on the bus,..when.....when the nutter gets on the bus.......does the nutter sit next to you?

Burky …. I guess he will sitt near you ... please use words in international English... rather then UK terms
"Nutter -U.K. a taboo term that deliberately insults somebody’s mental condition or way of behaving (informal) "
please translate the meaning of your post ...i ain't from uk to know ....

One issue to bring into light first … English isn’t my native language like in your cases ( jumkie and burky) so maybe my way of writing in English isn't quite clear and correct, ok? I'm romanian … so I should exepect you to learn Romanian and then to have a proper conversation, deh … nope I do my best with English language.

Now to make myself clear why I dislike hayden and why I consider he ain't more then a champion on points:

Take a look at this stats ..

Nicky Hayden's seasons in motogp

Season Categ Starts 1st 2nd 3rd Tot Poles Bikes Pts Pos
2006 Motogp 17 2 3 5 10 1 Honda 252 1
2005 Motogp 17 1 2 3 6 3 Honda 206 3
2004 Motogp 15 - - 2 2 Honda 117 8
2003 Motogp 16 - - 2 2 Honda 130 5


Valentino Rossi's season in motogp
Season Categ Starts 1st 2nd 3rd Tot Poles Bikes Pts Pos
2006 Motogp 17 5 4 1 10 5 Yamaha 247 2
2005 Motogp 17 11 3 2 16 5 Yamaha 367 1
2004 Motogp 16 9 2 - 11 5 Honda 304 1
2003 Motogp 16 9 5 2 16 9 Honda 357 1
2002 Motogp 16 11 4 - 15 7 Honda 355 1
2001 500cc 16 11 1 1 13 4 Honda 325 1
2000 500cc 16 2 3 5 10 - Honda 209 2


As u can notice the 2006 season.. Hayden has 1 pole/ 2 victories and a total of 10 podiums …and rossi has 5 victories 5 pole and a total of 10 podiums scored….
Hmmm I guess then the places 3-4-5 brought nicky's win. And how many times he fought for victory if I'm not wrong? 2 times 3 if I count the germany gp …rossi had a dnf at le mans when he was in 1st position. If I say that IF ( I know, I read that if doesn’t matter in one race)
So I can say that other racers dnf/injury and misfortune contribuied in a serious amount to nicky final success?
That's why I said I dislike nicky because he won … because he won it in a dull way .. by being safe and just bring home the bike.
He has less victorys then capirossi and melandri the riders in 3rd and 4th.
I know you'll write another essay to convince everyone that hayden is the worthy champion but not for me.. is my right to have an opinion and to post it on a forum ...

I wouldn't have had anything with melandri or capirossi winning this season or maybe pedrosa ….i wouldn't disliked them … it's just the"bring back home and take no risk" syndrome I hate…

As for rossi's lucky wons check the stats for the other seasons

p.s. Pedrosa is an Asimo .. I just sayed that he's a robot as a joke … not meaning anything bad



I should start to put too my fake smile on and post next... i maybe didn't posted much around but i read the posts here

Superb, I have a new friend!
Personally, I don't 'dislike/hate any moto GP rider, I have total respect and admiration for them all.

I'll quote you.....

Now that only took 6 hours to respond, or write, or research......why?
Fact is fact, Nicky Hayden is a true World Champion and deserves our applause. Nicky Hayden won the title, from behind, at the last round of the season. Nicky Hayden withstood the pressure, Valentino crashed. Nicky Hayden won the world title on a developmental machine. (Has that been done before? Has anybody 'won' a GP on a developmental machine? You tell me!) My hat goes off to the Kentucky Kid, what a fantastic result and display of charachter.

Now, back to you Mike. Now maybe you've caught me in a bad mood (but I don't think so), but why oh why are you so anti someone who beats Vale? It makes you appear...narrow minded...if that is not too 'English' a term. To your average moto GP fan it gives you a bad name, too overconfident.
One thing I can't help wondering is, at the final GP, where around the circuit was the Valentino celebration party, and where did they slope off to?
The statistics do indeed say it all, Nicky Hayden, 2006 World Moto GP Champion,.....Congratulations Nicky.

Maybe this will help....

it took 10 minutes... i had better things to do in the rest of the time ... like studying for exams, what took you so long to anwer to my post then... it a few days though...

did you acctually see the part where i say i wouldn't have anything with capirossi, melandri or pedrosa win it... i sayed nicky WON but won in a dull way for me... i respect him but i dislike him... do i have to like him.. it's an obligation? thant's why i'm narrow minded?
it's my right to dislike a person, i don't hate i just dislike him ...

btw: rossi won the championship at the first year he switched to yamaha ... that ain't an achievement?

Hi Mike. I must say, I like you already. Usually it takes at least a few exchanges for me to warm up to somebody. Even though I disagree with most all your points of opinion; you came back with a fairly good post and backed it up with some stats, and I appreciate that. But like I said, I disagree with you. But you gotta expect when you say something as lame as you said in your first post, might get someone pissed (here in the US, pissed means angry not drunk); so you must have known you would get such a response. So, I think you did it on purpose, so I still think you are a “nutter” <not the fake kind.

Anyway, I understand English isn’t you first language, actually, it’s not mine either (but I don’t expect you to learn Spanish to have a proper conversation, as you say). So thanks for making the extra effort to respond. So you spit out some career stats to make your case. Actually, I think a few threads already argued this point and so I really don’t want to rehash every single argument, but I will just address a few things you said. But let it suffice to say that one can argue justify or defend these stats for and against. I could just as give you a reason as to why I think Rossi’s stats are “inflated” (that means overrated). For example, look at the stats: Kevin Schwants only won 1 championship, yet he was perhaps the most successful non-multiple champion of his era, and sometimes won more races in a season than the champion of that year. In fact, the year he won his championship, Wayne Rainey crashed and was paralyzed, so would you say Schwants isn’t a “true” champion. If you did, it would be rather disrespectful and that’s what you said about Hayden. Randy Mamola never won a championship yet has the most wins of any non-champ. Just as I could make a case that certain riders were the “true” champions, I suppose I could make a case that they were “not the true” champions. But your reasoning was so repulsive to me, especially being a Hayden fan, that I had to respond. Now when I say Rossi’s stats are “inflated” compared to Hayden, you must remember, Hayden didn’t grow up on the tracks that people like Rossi, Melandri, Loris, and Pestdrosa did. (Did you know that Italy and Spain have hosted more Gps than most of the world combined?) So like I said, I don’t want to get too much into it, but I see it obviously different than you.

Not I’m not making a case that Rossi isn’t a “true” champ. I admire Rossi but certainly don’t worship him. But let there be no doubt, Rossi will be always considered one of the greatest riders ever; and he deserves it. But it seems to me that you perceive how Hayden performed based on how it correlated with Rossi. In other words, it’s all about Rossi for you and you only see it based on how he was affected by other’s performances. Now you did say, you would have been ok if other Europeans won the championship. But the fact is that when these other guys were not scoring as many points or DNFing, Hayden was on the podium. So I really think it just comes down to you not liking Hayden, as you said, it’s a “simple” reason.

You describe Hayden’s performances as “dull” and “safe” or “it's just the” bringback home and take no risk" syndrome I hate…” Perhaps this argument is the one I dislike the most about what you think. Let me ask you, are Loris, Melandri, Pestdrosa, boring, non-risk takers, dull, and safe when they are not winning? Don’t you think these guys are trying to win even when they don’t? So what makes you think Hayden isn’t putting it all out on the track to win too? What the hell does “dull” mean? Does Hayden not back it into curves in that great American style learned on dirt tracks? Does he not do hard passes on front-runners to gain positions? (After all, some said that it was his hard pass on Pestdrosa that infuriated him to take out Hayden the next lap). You say he is “safe”. If you mean safe to mean prudent, I agree. But so are Melandri & Loris (I don’t think Pestdrosa is very prudent). You said this:> “That's why I said I dislike nicky because he won … because he won it in a dull way .. by being safe and just bring home the bike.” Do you mean the last race or do you mean the whole season? Either way, it’s your lame opinion, but its wrong.

Here is a real one

(BTW: I love Romania.)
