Hahaha, what a great story. King Kenny saying he was the hardest guy he trained.."to pass". Hahaha Reminds me of the tshirt, "You're fast, cuz you were hauling ... when I passed you."
Fantastic.
I'd say Lorenzo owes KRSR a bit of that 2010 bling.

Great story. I'm glad the details finally came out. Since we never heard anything I just figured what happens at the ranch, stays at the ranch. I don't know why the details took 3 years to surface.
Am I the only one bothered that Kenny would give an up and coming non american rider this great and rare oppurtunity.

Well how would you feel if Schwantz started training Mark Marquez? I'm sure that would never happen. His loyalties are with Suzuki ,Texas and America. At the time Jorge had no ties to Yam or American.
I find it strange. Americans in moto gp are at a disadvantage to Spainards. I see no reason for a legend like Kenny to further their advantage.

Johnny, this is what I like about you man. I feel the same way but you got the balls to say it. Its the same thing you said about Paris Hilton and her new 125 team. At first I thought, well at least she's giving the sport exposer. But now I'm like, ..... should have hired an American. My first thought was, how cool is KRSR to offer help at his age. How cool is it that the man still can put the beat down on these kids. And I suppose, yeah, you also admire the man for giving back to the sport. But as you say, why we giving tips to the enemy? I want Americans to win and Italians and Spanish ..... to lose (though I like most of them). When did I start feeling like being nationalistic was a bad thing?

I know what you mean to say, and in a way, yeah, I get it. But ...., our American effort in GP in terms of national awareness and sponsorship is complete ..... JonK tugged at my frustration in this department, and that is, we need to focus our effort and become more nationalistic in providing our nationals support. The Italians and Spanish support the .... out of their riders while marginalizing Americans and Aussies. Why not do the same? Yeah yeah, I get the ill logic behind this, but ..... I know you don't get it Goatboy, afterall, I've rarely met a Brit who didn't root for Sir Valentino with nationalistic pride.

I guess if we had a racer with a personality I might, at least I suppose the Americans in GP have been decent guys for the most part; we just don't get that over here.
I think actually it's impossible for me to be Nationalistic, a rider from the west coast of Scotland would have to be an obese alcoholic, we all are.

In the past, i might have thought that way, but as i get older, sport takes a back seat to more important things going on in the world. In the end its just a game and i treat it as such. 40 years ago, i wasnt allowed to sit on the furniture while watching football. If something went wrong for my team, i was libel to tear the end of a couch off and throw it through the tv screen, so i was made to sit in the floor. I could really care less who Kenny trains or invites to his camp. That would be like Spaniards raising hell with Puig for taking Stoner under his wing when he was a kid.Im sure some do, thats why i remind myself that the word fan is short for fanatic.

Arrggghhh, what are you doing to me? Nothing against the blokes kissing, but that music is just awful. All the autotune in the world couldn't save that girl, and god knows they've tried.
