I think George has another win in him this year.
Probably not this weekend though.
 
I hope he has another win in him :) I kinda hope that this magical fuel tank is the answer to all his problems and he now returns to the metronomic identi-laps. Someone here said he was like the ghost rider from some game I can't remember the name of, ha, that's accurate.

In actuality, I think it has helped enormously. He is one of those that needs everything 'just so'. My horse is like that - I think he's autistic. If everything happens exactly as he thinks it will, he's awesome. If something odd happens, or he gets his tea half an hour early or late, his sky caves in and he loses all his confidence.

I'm excited to see him on the Honda next year. I think going back to a Yamaha, especially a satellite one, would have seemed very 'tail between the legs'. Plus they never gave him his WC party lol so fukem

Mondays of a GP week are always a huge excitement to me. It will feel like a horribly long week and by Thursday I won't know what day it is and will keep looking for the FPs, wondering why I can't find them. This happens to me every GP week and I don't learn.


By the way, I am a girl. A very small but quite old one :) I have a bike licence and did have a baby blade for a good while. It was far too fast or me and it was only a matter of time till I fell off - I did, but quite slowly. Sold it before I fell off it quicker :) I have an oldish R32 now which I think is the nuts. I adore it. My husband has several bikes knocking around, in various stages of build. He builds customs, fixes and does up harleys and does all the cool stuff like making his own brackets and exhaust pipes.
 
You Englishman have similar tastes, although not in preferred gp riders,, the much discussed Roger had a similar vehicle, chipped etc as yours probably is, and was I think even taller than you.

Synn is correct that I am older than some on here, so I don’t go for the turbo cars any more, although I do also drive a Subaru, a BRZ in fact, a classic Subaru blue/Rally Blue one at least.

Getting older has the advantage of you being able to afford to insure high performance stuff though, i remember paying thousands of pounds to insure first a gsxr750 and then later on an fzr1000 exup when i was in my late teens/early 20's, my r1 costs a pittance to cover today compared to those days..and i'm still not too old to stand it on the back wheel...

Myself and a mate went through a crazy Japanese 400 stage about 20 years ago, it was great, I loved those mad little 400s.
I just dropped you a quick PM about custom builds, I hope you don't mind.

You should get better pit stands.
I spent a few hundred bucks on mine and a child could prop a bike up with those.

You havent spent an afternoon taking photos with an old camera at "Road Warriors Cafe" at Mt White have you? ( some time ago )
 
Do you know, that is actual coincidence! It's really Furioso I wanted. I didn't even know what it was other than my horse (have I mentioned him?!) is descended from Furioso lines. Furioso is male plus for some reason, this forum said the name was taken. So I went for Furiosa :)

Linny would have been easier all round huh
 
Thank you :) I know I don't deal with conflict well and I got a bit upset with all the sniping, didn't read it all, made some rash conclusions and sweary posts.

Thank you though, guys. I work remotely and also have few friends that are into MotoGP. So I love it here. I've read through other forums and yea, never felt like I wanted to join in. This place is great. Apart from when it descends into name calling and I apologise for blaming the wrong ones. Or in fact, anyone. It's nowt to do with me and nor do I want it to!

Someone needs to do some insulting now before this gets all too fluffy
 
All of you smell awful!

I once smelled so bad that even I couldn't tolerate it. It wasn't because I had fallen in something either, it was my own aroma after a 2 week jungle patrol in Central America. It was like burnt dog egg.

Great horse name!

I used to ride a horse named "boofa" ... but by all rights he should have been called "furioso" or "krakatoa" or "supernova" or something explosive. 1 kick and he went from mild to fire breathing wild for the rest of the day. :D
 
To Gekko I have to ask, is there something I missed regarding Jumkie being some unapproachable sacred cow who is above us all and beyond reproach simply because he's so thin-skinned? He never showed that kind of restraint when he piled on vicious attacks on Kropo, or did you miss that my friend?

For you, he should be unapproachable. Please don`t think just about you and him when you try to engage him, think about all the members of the forum and question yourself if they really want to get thru this .... again.
Or better, start a poll with the question "who here wants me to engage Jumkie" and see how that pans out. But if you do receive some approvals, those who do that don`t wish the well-being of this forum.

Regarding the Kropo issue: we all know that in the history of PS were numerous spats between some members, some lighter, some more serious. The problem is that these days the Signal To Noise ratio appears to be less than 1, the noise becoming unbearable.

Do you know your name means 'angry'?

If you live in a glass house don't throw rocks.
 
Can someone explain to me why with all the animosity and personal feuds and attacks going on on here the poster known as synn always gets a pass?...where is the criticism for his endless vitriol?...the double standards on here are ridiculous.
I've answered this question several times. Kesh has been asking this. It is a deflection, and you asking it serves Keshav's purpose and lack of responsibility. With all do respect Pye, children often use such logic when confronted with misbehaving, "well, he did it". Sound familiar? "What about him?" Sound familiar? What does the adult usually respond? 'Take responsibility for your own actions.' Would you like me to elaborate?

But did you invite Carmelo to your trailer in for a discussion? :p





Are you him?

OMG - has Lord Voldemort been trotting out this old canard again??? It's one of his biggest, smelliest loads of ........ ever, and some are actually buying into it. I never "invited myself" into anything, I was invited. I never "demanded" anything. It was a gesture of respect. And all was peaceful across the land...


.... until, Ayatollah Jummani's BBF (best British friend) got frustrated at his inability to make a cogent reply in an online debate and having failed to bully me into submission using mere insults, betrayed a basic trust among friends, because he couldn't resist being a jerk-off at my expense. I called him out and like a jealous girlfriend, The Ayatollah came to the rescue and declared a fatwa on me because I'd dared to speak badly of the Prophet Roghammed from whom all blessings (or at least all expensive wristwatches) flow.

Junkie is big on Grand Gestures, but his largesse comes with a big-... price tag, that being, if you eat at his table, you are forever in his debt, to the extent that even if he stabs you in the back and tells lies about an honored guest, said guest is to take the dust from his feet and only speak kind words about him, because he has purchased your loyalty.

Unfortunately for him, not all people can be bought.

Which is evidently true on both sides of the equation. When Jumkie admired a my "Hecho En Mexico" belt buckle I made a point of going three hours out of my way to revisit a market I'd been to in Mexico to get one for him and sent it to him in California.

When Jumkie was too broke to go to COTA - I PMd him and offered to use my frequent flier miles to throw him a free ticket to go to Austin, even tho I myself could not go that year.

These too are the acts of a friend. But I don't go 'round constantly throwing this stuff in his face, because frankly, I don't know which one to throw it in. Instead of offering to give him a free airline ticket maybe I should have got him a watch, and then we'd still be friends.
