Moto 3 I'll be watching Maverick, the kid is something else, Moto2, will be Redding and Crazy Joe.



Motogp, it's going to be a joy watching Jorge take the title back and watching Spencer's head unravel again with the pressure of being beaten week in week out.

I'm a MotoGP fan for 2 years so I dont know a lot about the guys, Respect all of them but since I started to watch the sport I have found interests in the following riders:

1) Casey Stoner: Like his hard competetive and aggressive manner on the sport. Got to love and respect his riding style. He rides the bike so beautifully and is a lot fun watching the sport when this guy is around specially when he is riding the Honda.

2) Valentino Rossi: In my opinion you just can't ignore the talent and the greatness of this guy. I also like his badass style, his high reputation and the fact that he is so relaxed and calm and his hard work on the Yamaha.

3) Ben Spies: He is a cool gentleman and a very talented rider. Many respect for the guy.

4) Collin Edwards: Funny, cool and a relaxed dude who seats on his bike shuts his mouth and rides on the track.

5) Jorge Lorenzo: Smooth, consistent and a highly talented rider which I respect alot but there are some disturbing things in his personality that reminds me of a ...... I hate in the soccer world (Christiano Ronaldo)

6) Dani Pedrosa: I like this guy more than other riders. Like his fast and on the edge riding style, When it is his day on the track he is so spectacular to watch. I also like the way he puts his heart for the sport and the developement of the Honda, eventhough he is unsuccesfull catching titles after 5 years, and by the way there are some points in his personality that I find them cool and a lot of them is because of the place he was born (Barcelona) and I also find them in many of the athletes from there (Barcelona Soccer Club).

Like I said before I'm new to the sport so I don't know the guys a lot but I have mentioned the way people don't like Dani Pedrosa alot. Besides the 06 accident and the Puig thing is it really something wrong with the guy or his talents in comparison to other riders? Because if you see his result the only negetive thing about him is not having a MotoGP title. I would be very pleased if you give me some information about what is the reason a lot of fans hate the guy. and by the way what is the wrong thing about Puig? He looks like an annoying ... but is there any specific reason?

سلام Sa.lam Cobra, and welcome to the nuthouse.

There is a lot of mindless banter here, but if you're seriously interested in MotoGP, you will get a lot of interesting stuff, from guys who generally know what they are talking about. Also check out the site of our resident philanthropist, at: www.motomatters.com



Regarding Dani;

1. He's not Rossi, so the Rossi fans hate him

2. He's not Stoner, so the Stoner fans hate him

3. His evil keeper screwed Nicky (probably the second most liked guy in MGP), so most fans and particularly Americans hate him.

4. The Spanish like a flamboyant showman, so they prefer Lorenzo

5. He's small, and shy, so cops .... for no being an extrovert.

6. And a lot of people think he got fast tracked to the best seat in the house, in preference to a lot of other good riders (other fans fav riders), and he hasn't delivered.

He's not my favourite rider, but personally I really like Dani, and have a lot of respect for the guy.

None of the people that bag him would ever have the balls to ride one of these monsters on the edge, or get back on after one has tried to kill them. Dani will win races this year, and is probably still the 3rd or 4th best rider in the world. Not bad for a fragile little dude, who has suffered massive injuries.

You keep supporting him, and when he wins get on here and let everyone know......



And PS... I hope .... gets better for you soon in Tehran.
 
I actually quite like Dani and I am a fan who leans slightly towards Stoner as a favourite! I don't know that many Stoner fans dislike Dani at all......

Thanks a lot man, I have been around motomatters too. good place, and by the way thanks again for the information you gave me about Dani, Yeah, I have mentioned the things you said about him from his interviews too. A lot of the points in his personality the shy thing and etc are common in the place he is born.Guys from Barcelona are not much of a show person. they just do their work and for being number 1 in my opinion you have to have a soul of a champion and Dani really isn't good in wanting to be number 1. in all of his interviews he just likes the title. But if you see the other aliens their thinking process towards the championship is a bit different . They just want to get to that .... no matter waht happens. and about the reason he is still in the factory bike in my opinion the guys at HRC think he is a great person for testing their bike and improving the set up of the bikes. And they got Casey for bringing them the titles. So as for the teams matter they just need a great test rider for their bikes. The way he rides the .... out of the repsol Honda is really amazing in my opinion but if he wants to gain some titles he has to change his way of thinking towards the championship and being number 1. Well Tehran is the same ..... It won't change, We even dont have the permit to ride bikes above 250 cc in the streets. but thanks any way

Forget about not being able ride big bikes.... What about shops running out of essentials and plummeting value of the Rial, due to sanctions, and dealing with the risk of military conflict not only from the west but from the GCC states.

Most of the world has a completely screwed up impression of Iran created by western and Arab media.

I have been to Tehran many times, and whilst the government are fucken morons, Tehran is a beautiful city, and Persian people are some of the friendliest people I have ever met.

Lets not get into political discussion, but keep enjoying MotoGP dude.
 
Well for the average American we know two things about Iran. The Ayatola Kummeini (forgive my spelling) taking Americans hostage and your current leader (or not leader, never understood that) standing before the UN every year and calling for the destruction of the jews.

Right wingers ratchet up the anti propaganda and have lamented that we did not attack Iran during W's reign of error because there a bunch of terrorists.

Left wingers tell me that iran is predominantly a youthfull nation that craves western democracy.

I certainly dont know where the truth lies but am surprised and delighted we now have a token Iranian

This site never ceases to amaze me

I would like to point out as well that the one of the hottest women on the planet is Iranian former anchor of CNN headline news Rudi Bakhtiar.

And that Iranian kid from the boy band One Direction is so hot I would bang him.
 
unfortunately the things you say about Iran is right, Well we have been sorrounded by our politicians ignorence, It has been with us for centuries and Me as an Iranian have to say the reason we have these problems come from the way Iranian peoples attitude is towards their countries developement. They act like they dont give a .... about what happens to them as long as they are not starving to death.

Enough politics, I really hope that I can get a ride with one of the big 1000 cc babies you ride to school or college. I have a Honda CG125 (1979 model), actually its an iranian version with a chinese engine and its even more shittier than the old Japanese version. These ......... are still continiuing to build the stupid ........ bike after 30 years with different brands and engines. My dream bike is a Honda CBR1000 fireblade so I have a very long way to go

Since I joint this site back in 2008, I noticed that there are aren't many posts and missed those regulars, maybe they have gone to crash.net....there are so many posts especially on the subject of the most popular and beloved rider : Valentino Rossi



Wonder why..

I now have 1441 cc, and would be quite happy to lend you one cylinder ( 360cc). Would that help you a bit?



ps. Welcome aboard. I too am curious about life in Iran, but perhaps you could elaborate in "the lounge" . Are you able to speak openly without fear of being traced?

Thanks for the welcoming, That is very cool of you dude. Well 360 CC is nothing compared to the beast your riding but for a guy like me who is killing himself to get a 220 cc indian Bajaj bike (one of the best things you can get overe here) is a lot of help, Thanks a lot.

As for the politic part I have to say: Well I'm not much of an important guy for the integelent services over here and by the way I dont have that much information in that department but if I can be a help to any of your question it would be a pleasure, I didn't know there is a place called "Lounge" in the forum, So accept my apologies if I took the discussion far away from "the favorite rider of 2012".
