Phillip Island 2015 is up there for greatest rides.

Too bad the legacy of the race was ruined when it became a point of 'suspicion'. Still cracks me up.

Wsbk has had some great racing, the duels between Edwards and Bayliss are some of my favorite, a great performance was the duel between Spies, Haga and Haslam, Wsbk Assen 2009 (race 1)

This is how close racing is done!


 
Seems to me you are trying to derail it as well, this is about racing not who you don't like, so please bottle it.

I'm trying to derail a thread by pointing out someone who attempted to derail the thread? This is the logic that prompted you to speak up?


So, lets apply your standard, let's not point out people who are attempting to derail this thread then. In fact let me borrow some words here to express this point:

Uhm, guess what you did above Theo.

In your haste to jump to Keshav's defense (a person who actually attempted to troll this thread 5 posts in) you didn't quite think it through.

How many “I like Rossi” threads do we need?

5th post into this thread. Is this a trolling of the thread? Yes or No?

In Jumkie's world an opinion is an opinion or point of view, unless he doesn't like you; then by Jumkie magic, an opinion is magically weaponized and becomes "derailing". What would we do without the Great Arbiter to tell us what opinions or points of view are socially acceptable? Good thing Big Brother is here to tell us what to think. After all until he weighed in, us poor naive types believed the thread was entirely devoted to talk about racing. What were we thinking?
 
kancer trolled this topic bc he didnt like the poster who created it

the sign of a bitter old deluded man who needs to ruin everything that doesnt meet his standards. hilariously u have ..... machine trying to ride his coattails like usual. ..... machine have u ever figured out that you are an empty soul of a poster who has nothing to add to this forum other than ur ramblings about nothing?

Phillip Island 2015 is up there for greatest rides.

This actually reminded me of the Le Manns race where VR and CS battled it out...for the podium. I say it reminded me of this race because PI 15 is linked to Sepang 15, where the crime was to race hard for...the podium. Take a look at VR battle CS below, can you imagine Casey slowing Rossi down and taking him wide causing him to crash BECAUSE in his mind he conjured up a theory that Rossi was dangerously messing with him, in sketchy conditions to boot? And not without merit either, considering this was after Rossi had torpedoed Casey, so it could very well been perceived as Rossi employing dangerous intimidation on the track. Kevin Schwantz said in support of Rossi taking Marquez wide, 'this is what is done to tell the other rider we don't like how you are behaving'. What do you honestly think would have happened to Stoner? It should also be said, the context of this battle was after Rossi had torpedoed Stoner at Jerez, oddly Race Direction didn't have a meeting to tell VR to calm down, no penalties, scoldings, heated safety commission meetings, changes to rules, etc. You can see CS backs off because Rossi increasingly dived in for the position, quite out of control actually, how many times does VR overshoot? Similar to Jerez in similar conditions, causing a crash! I love the commentators on this one, "Rossi is back!" Uhm, this was for the podium gentz. I should mention this was a race won by Jorge Lorenzo, the guy that doesn't know how to ride in the rain.

Valencia 2015 from Lorenzo. All the pressure on his shoulders to win, against what the majority of fans, media and even his own manufacturer wanted. He rode at a record pace, made himself almost impossible to pass and won a world championship. It was clutch as .... and anyone who questions his mental strength after that ride is a moron.

You can never be a man about it and just say, you know what my bad, I trolled this thread at the start thinking it wasn’t legit. And move on. No shame in admitting you were wrong. It would have avoided this flurry of exchanges. Honestly, that would have been the way to go forward Kesh. Plus, notice the contrast between your reactions and Synn on this thread. Nobody is a saint, but in the words that you recently used "give credit where credit is due."

Kesh, you trolled a thread from a member you said was on your "ignore" list. This is a fact!

Your words betray you as usual. It is clear that you trolled this thread because you assumed it was not legit, see the highlighted part above. In fact this was discussed, by Gaz, Mdub, and MikeM. You jumped the gun Kesh, and 5 posts in trolled a thread from a member you have on your "ignore" feature. You trolled the thread because you disapproved!

I don't expect you to take responsibility nor your enablers to point this out to you. This is a good thread and you tried to destroy it 5 posts in! What is the point of the ignore feature if you ignore the feature? Instead of Theo telling me not to point out your attempt to derail the thread, it might be more helpful if he went straight to the source of the 5th post into this thread, that is YOU. Instead, he gives you wings to capriciously avoid responsibility for your own trolling, no wonder you feel bold. It’s a simple equation Kesh, you make pledges and promises, when you don’t keep them I’m going to point it out. You’ve promised not to troll, you took a pledge, and you announced that you had put several members on your ignore list. I’m going to hold you to it. Dog knows your enablers like BM and Theo don’t have the integrity or the balls to do it.

There have been many great performances in GP, Nicky in 145 degree heat at LS in 06, Toni Elias Estoril 06 (granted not the GOATR), Rossi Catalunya 09, Stoner Philip Island 20XX, Lorenzo Valencia 2015 ...

Agree, it was one of the best performances ever, the pressure was massive, and the weight of most fans hoping he would make a mistake or crash was palpable. Cue yellow smoke.

I espouse an opinion in one sentence and you type pages and pages of horseshit. Keep telling yourself that you are doing everybody some kind of service by dragging out your childish vendetta. Clog clog clogity clog.

Shut up and go munch some vindaloo, Kurryfart.
This isn’t the thread for you.

Not for nothing, but you did troll with that post you made on the first page.
 
Actually, one I forgot ......... dates back many years.

1988 ...

1988, AMA flat track, Springfield Mile, Bubba Shobert vs Scott Parker.
(If anybody can find footage, please post).

I've said this before, but I think Bubba Shobert is one of the greatest riders ever to race a motorcycle, unfortunately his career was cut short by a freak accident at LS. Shobert won AMA flat track on a upstart brand called Honda, in a series that was dominated by H-D. The AMA tried to Dorna the rules but Bubba was the flat track equivalent of Marc Marquez.

The Springfield Mile is one of flat track's 'Cathedrals of Speed'. Its no joke, because the speeds and proximity of your rivals is death defying stuff.

I found this clip, scroll up to min 7:20. It was a photo finish. (If anybody can find footage of just this race.)

Not really. No trolling. Commenting on an obnoxious surfeit of Rossi hagiography threads started just in the course of like two weeks.

"Is valentino rossi the greatest"
"I like Valentino Rossi"
"Greatest ride of all time from the greatest rider of all time"

The only thing I'm guilty of is having a strong opinion. I didn't insult anyone or say someone was stupid or make racist comments. Simply pointed out that one thread about the greatness of Rossi is sufficient. Once the thread took on a life of it's own and diverted to talking about rides by people other than "The GOAT" I went with the flow and peacefully participated.
 
guys I literally don't dislike anyone in here, quite the contrary actually, but how about you try to get laid a lil more often?


I'm sure that'll calm all the bitter spirits.


PS: if getting laid doesn't work try out Buddhism

You mean like this list of obnoxious surfeit (excessive/too much) Rossi hagiography/(evil in reverse) threads started:


Rossi has aparently “spat the dummy” Barry Machine
Rossi is now blaming electronics Barry Machine
Can Rossi win another race?...where? Barry Machine


Did you troll these obsessive threads immediately? Why not? Barry's threads are in the same TROLLING vein as you assigned to Synn!

Like I said, your own words betray you. You trolled this thread 5 posts in because you wanted to register your disapproval (from a guy you claimed to ignore). Meanwhile Barry is doing the same .... you describe above, like a machine, adding threads excessively to assure us Rossi is the evil (reverse to Synn) or as you said "obnoxious surfeit of Rossi hagiography". I'll say it again, Barry's excessive production of threads are in the same TROLLING vein as you assigned to Synn! Will you include these in your list too?

Just be a man about it Kesh. Admit you ...... up, admit you treated this thread using a double standard for which you are unwilling to treat Barry Machine's obsessions, and move on.

People post far worse. Yourself included.

But when jumkie you bigsparrows and synn get on here posting pages and pages of pure crap about your bitchy little vendetta ...... its useless.

Other than seeing what ......... you are. :rolleyes:

Try harder to stick to racing. Or go and start another forum ..... though we know how crap that was in the past.

Kancer will never admit to being at fault. Ever.

Klog, klog, klog.
