frosty58 · Feb 1, 2009

Traverser · Feb 1, 2009

Winona Ryder, Sean Ryder, Mitch Ryder and er....can't think of any more. Maybe they could set up their own Ryder Cup'

Goatboy · Feb 1, 2009

I would pay to see Sean Ryder on a Moto GP bike, obviously it would have to be alot to cover the damage.

al your bein a bit misguided when you suggest stuff like this. i agree that wsbk races were very entertaining last season & had more satisfying close finishes but that does not turn said series into the premier class by any stretch. how many riders in wsbk would give their left nut to get a chance to ride in gps? now how many gp riders do you think would do the same to go to wsbk?

I know what you're saying..but here's what i'm saying...the RIDERS make the sport...not the bikes...
I'm a GP fanatic brother....i LOVE moto GP....Me saying things like this breaks my heart....

GP used to make me think..the best riders, on the biggest baddest bikes around...the bikes are no longer that...SBK bikes are.... You take the top 5-6-7 riders in GP...toss'm in to SBK...AND bring the GP.com commentators along...

nah, pedrobot's brains, which runs on windows, will get blue screen of death and al the track data will turn upside down, resulting in backwards driving for the rest of the season ^^

I don't think the solution is to move the best riders to a supposedly more exciting and popular race, but to fix what is wrong with MotoGP...and by that I mean fix what is wrong with Dorna. MotoGP is the ultimate racing class, and just because the idiots at Dorna are trying to cheapen that by placing so many restrictions on the teams doesn't mean we should give up on it. I don't want to see Hayden, Rossi and Stoner going head to head on factory made hardware, I want to see them ripping up the pavement on custom made machines that the average dunce could never even handle.

Screw Dorna and their restrictions. In 2010, I want to see Stoner and Hayden riding platinum Ducati's fueled by liquid plutonium. Forget cost cutting and engine restrictions, this is premier class racing, it's supposed to be ridiculously expensive.

Thats been the attitude up until now but its not making the sport sustainable. Restricting performance is not the way to go imo. no cc limit, no fuel limit , turbos or whatever should be alloud. that will make power affordable and the racing exciting

do you work at dorna, by any chance? your ideas sure sound as bad as a dorna plan

try to come up with ideas that dont kill the sport...

I was exaggerating. Thank you for calling me on that as we obviously have no room for being dramatic. Forgive me. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/.....gif

I know they have to cut costs in order to keep things running, but I'm just not too psyched about the ways they're going about it. I don't want these beautiful bikes to be chopped up and made into less than what they should be.

I don't have any grand ideas about saving the sport, but it sure sounds like you do. Let's hear your grand wisdom Slide.

turbos would great! I can see the bodies flying now!

Don't let Lorenzo get a hold of a turbo...I don't think he would survive one race

i know what your saying but bikes only go as fast as you twist the throttle. seriously , lorenzo has got balls and he's tough. he will be fine.

Everything Ezy suggests trys to pussify the sport while adding to the cost. moto gp needs to be the fastest motorcyle's but affordable for many to compete. powerful normally aspirated engines are very expensive, compressor engines are cheaper to design and build. i dont want to see things like n2o tho. thats cheating.
