No, he's been here for longer and admitted to it when he said he met with members from here at Valencia 2006.

Only his screen name is new, but he himself is not new.

Didn't see that post. Starting to think that "Yakamoto San" is a certain sulking Suburu owner.

I have a solution to all this bickering. If we a just follow the 10 Stommandments, we could get along just fine.

1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make yellow idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember the 2007 season, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your hot wife and your daughter
6. You shall not say mystery illness
7. You shall not commit to any employer for long
8. You shall not steel hopes of a return
9. You shall not bear false ambitions against your talent
10. You shall not covet his retired lifestyle, or else be branded a jealous hater

Will answer for you JKD.

1. Doohan
2. Don't you go knocking Kevin, Dave and the merry band of banana eating Minions, That is just despicable.
3. My wife (oh god, you are pathetic - how she describes the ... life apparently, something about I forgot the batteries .................. again)
4. Ah the sounds of an 800cc ............. nope, give me the 990/1000 that sound so bloody much better
5. She needs a meal but she is eating for two. As for the kid, well she has her mum's looks which is a bonus
6. Let us call it 'how to piss off the Marlboro man in 9 easy steps'
7. The grass aint always greener on the other side, but .... sometimes it is worth smokin
8. Quitting means quitting, not like this I will leave the sport if I don't get my fresh undies every race threat.
9. Bring it on ............ oh wait, part time and they still struggle to catch me ......
10. Gone fishing :p

We know Casey like to go fast out of the gate then take a break.
Im beginning to think he retired early, just so he could beat everyone to retirement

I suspect he retired for a new challenge - the Dubs Downhill Enduro MTB series but he knows the challenge that lay ahead so he is training for another year or so before announcing the new career.

I am a polytheist myself, and would add Lawson to Doohan. I can only go by reports where Hailwood is concerned.

Can he handle it?

I decided to keep it as Aussie as I could.

Personally I seriously rate Doohan, Rainey, Lawson and Spencer as the best I have seen at the top level (in that order) although I do bounce around Lawson as I wonder if I ever really appreciated just what he did so often he is swapped with Rainey but Doohan stays #1 for me (and I admit Aussie bias)

Sure Rainey is well and truly up there for me as well as you know, but I give Lawson great credit for casually winning a world championship straight out of the box by taming the vicious Honda of that era after being a career long Yamaha rider in 500 gp racing. Didn't really see Spencer in his pomp.

Lawson is the often forgotten one in that he went Yamaha - Honda and won the championships but I actually give him a heap of credit for that Cagiva win - watched that race from start to finish and still admire that ride as much as I do others.

Rainey to me was the opposite of Lawson in terms of outward skillset. Lawson was subtle, deliberate where Rainey was just grab it by the balls and ride the bloody thing ...........
 
?
He had "Lucky" on his fairing long before he won the 81 title.
?

You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately the moniker has incorrectly become synonymous and associated with his title.

See my previous post. Oh hang on, this is easier...

In fairness, the 'lucky' moniker was pretty much self styled and referred to his off track exploits, so really I'm wrong to suggest that they named him after his championship for many reasons...but it was known as a fortuitous title so it stuck for that reason.
 
Didn't he do time for a coke lined suitcase?
Based on their other appointments, Dorna should hire him as PED inspector.
 
Well that was wierd!

2016 and not a dropper post in sight! :eek:

The guy made a dropper joke in the video. I saw a few. How stupid does the dropper post sound to non bike rider. Whats your favorite tech on your bike? Man I love this seat post that goes up and down by the push of a button.

Still a few folk hanging out without them, but that vid just shows why they are so good. That hill was a flat for some runs around here, so they are a must for me.
A road rider asked me what they were and whether they were of any use. I told him that in near 50 years of riding they were perhaps the most inovative and useful thing ive seen come in on bikes.
There is no reason to go over the bars on a bike these days. Even xc riders are embracing them.

Exactly right. Downhillers have even started using them on the courses with long flat pedal sections. The guy that won the first round of downhill had a shock made by a motogp team. His mechanic works for tech3. His shock had a lockout switch on the bars using a dropper button.

The riding positions in that video was brutal to watch. Not a single rear steer.

What happened to the Stoner fighting?

To help keep things rolling, so to speak:
The Stoners were just visiting the Spies and the Edwards. I guess some in MotoGP liked him. It looks like the Stoners have a fabulous life style going on.

In the history of social media, has there ever been anyone that isn't having a fabulous life? #family#blessed
