Whats the possibility of any GP riders opening `emselves up to some light grilling on the forum.Has anybody got the required swing or tact to entice a top rider on to here?
that sure would be very cool. we would have to somehow organize it so that we all do not ask hundreds of questions at the same time. it would be overwhelming.
I think it is very possible if the membership increases with quality members...so far so good.
I'm sure we could get Colin Edwards if we play our cards right. He does an ok job on his board at posting every once in a while.
right now the can of worms is open haha so wot 1 question would u ask a moto gp rider? wouldnt it b nice if they really told the truth like say a real gezzer like
mick doohan or wayne gardner,, wow that would be good..
im a rossi fan but would love to know how they rate rossi
I would love to know who the riders think has some of the best untrained talent or who has a very bright future. i just think opinions from the riders might be different. instead of hearing the same commentators.

I did however have a nice chat with Mick Doohan only a few months ago, i am not making it up, i do sound like i am, but i promise i did have a good old chat with him.

I would love to know how they handle the transfer of grip/slide on the MGP bikes.

Yes i'd love to know that too drill. if i met one of 'em i'd have to ask them a technical question, it would be so fascinating. I know that a lot of the riding for them is natural and almost subconscious, but id love to chat to them about what their mind is going through in a race and how their brains cope with all that speed and trying to think about tactics and trying to understand what their bike is doing under them at the time. Plus i'd ask what their fav track is and why, and i'd also ask how they rate themselves against Rossi. I mean we all know theres no-one better but i wonder if any of them really think they could beat him and ask them one to one without the 'media talk'. It does seem that at least 95% of them think that rossi is better than them and so how does that play in their heads, have they already been defeated by him before they get out on track?...
We've been working for a couple of months on getting some riders involved in the forum with very little success. We were close with one rider but it seems to have fallen to the wayside. Hopefully we can get something going here as the site grows. Keep your fingers crossed.
What might be a better idea, is for someone to jack up an interview with one of these guys, then gather everyones questions from here and put up the transcript afterwards, think this might a be a more realistic option
It's tough to get riders on sites like these that are privately run. The problem is, their management wont allow it...or at least i can gether thats alot of it.
