Oh oh, I think I know this one...uhm, let me see. Oh I have the name at the tip of my tongue.
[HRC: Well Pedro is out, so mothball his bike I guess.
knock knock. Who's there?
Your old pal Casey. I hear Pedro is out. Can I ride his bike?
I'll even do it for practically free.
HRC: Nah, we're good. Thanks for offering though.]

As I said in the other MurderMac topic, I'm pretty sure Stoner would be leading the championship and people would be talking about Rossi as a has-been if he were on the second RCV.
Honda is displaying that typical ignorance as usual. Not letting Casey ride for Dani was the DUMBEST decision I have ever seen. Though I'm genuinely wondering if that talk about 2016 being the earliest Casey could be ready is an indication they might be seriously consideration throwing Dani under the bus as soon as the season concludes. It sounds like Casey would actually like to ride MotoGP again.

I don't think Casey will ever return to regular MotoGP. Unless, perhaps if Carmelo Sepped down. I was also surprised that Casey considered toying around a few rounds on Pedro's bike, but to return to the circus full time is entirely a different animal. So I still hold my view, Casey Stoner will never return to MotoGP.
(But if he does, I'll send kaitlynmatters.com a $100 donation as a penalty for being wrong about my predication. Of course I would have to do so under an assumed identity, as I doubt I could log into the site under Jumkie. Maybe I could log on with one of the sockpuppet aliases I'm always accused of having?)
They didn't just deny Stoner. Nakamoto said he would only put Stoner on the bike if Stoner looked like he could score a podium.
His latest Stoner comment and his comment about not caring if fans like to watch MotoGP have put Nakamoto in the Bernie Ecclestone club. The substance of their comments is diametrically opposed, but the mania is the same.

Remeber in 2011, Valencia tests, first time Stoner rode the HRC Honda?
Pedrosa kept complaining that the engine was too aggressive, and Stoner stepped in and immediately praised its... smoothness?
Which reminds one of Doohan, who wanted to keep the NSR500 engine in screaming configuration otherwise "anybody could ride it"...
These Australians...

HAHAHAHAHAAHA Jesus, this took my a while to reply to, as I couldn't see my blurred keyboard from my tears of laughter.
Hi, my name is Jumkie. You have some funny takes, you have fit in well here.
So, let me address your take about everybody trying to bone Casey (Casey fans were actually referred to as Casey "Boners", and if you must know, VR's fanatics were referred to as "Boppers"). Actually, Stoner was a polarizing figure here. There were many Powerslide members who thought he was a ..... (thats what it was called before motogpforum, which well actually before it was powerslide was called motogpforum, sorry for the confusion, I'll move on). Not sure how long you've been following MotoGP, but Casey Stoner was perhaps thee most talented rider in the last 15 years. But he wasn't given a silver spoon or rules written to usher in his talent onto the record books, which made his accession rather unique, and in some cases questioned. He had success on the machine that three world champions and one runners up (5 world champions if you count lower categories) struggled to make work. This of course prompted many to say the bike rode itself in 2007 (only for the bike to be the villain in 2011-2012). Casey Stoner eventually left the sport at the top of his game. Some described the retirement in a negative connotation as "quitting" while others saw the resignation as a refreshing '.... you' in light of a view the sport as been highjacked and of blatant corruption (I'm in the latter category). But even for his detractors, it was difficult to make a case that Casey Stoner wasn't an exception talent, especially after Valentino Rossi, the standard of perfection (for many) could NOT make the Ducati perform (of course for these people it had nothing to do with VR's skill). But make no mistake, there are several, if not the majority, who considered Casey a ...../quitter/spoiled brat, etc. In fact, most of my friends do, many of which have long since left this forum (a topic for another day).

I prefer women, but if Stoner can ride me as well as he rode that Desmosedici it might be worth a shot.

holy .... - i have Jumkie's approval! i feel like i've gained 10+ coolness points to my already thousands that i give to myself on a daily basis.
anyways Jum -
my first motoGP race i ever watched was actually the '08 laguna seca stoner vs. rossi. that epic battle was what made me fall for motoGP. so for me – i've only really known from 08' til now. also by reading stuff on the good ol' internets.
also – it's adorable you guys get hard on's over certain riders.

Laguna 08, one of the greatest memories of my life! No not just because of the race, but because of the people I watched the race with and all the shenanigans that transpired that weekend. If you're interested, go to the Socials board here on the forum and read through the "ROGER & JUMKIES EXCELLENT ADVENTURE" thread. http://motogpforum.com/motogp-social/7623-roger-jumkies-excellent-adventure.html
Regarding my approval, hahaha, as they say, be careful what you wish for. You remind me of a comedian I once saw (true story), who had the crowd roaring with laughter. That's because he was taking digs at a bunch of .... that everybody was in agreement with. Then he said, "Yeah yeah, right now you guys are like, this dude is hilarious. ha-ha-ha. Until I get to the part in my show where you will say, that dude is a ....... .......!" And funny but it was true, at one point in his show I thought, .... this guy! I've made many life long friends here, but I'm sure I've made just as many enemies; of which on a serious note, I'm not proud of. In fact, I would like to apologize to most all of them (there are maybe a couple who I don't care for, but only very specifically, and they've been long since gone). I have this awful way of expressing myself on this forum which has rubbed people the wrong way, and they are justified in thinking so. I dislike that about myself, but I keep thinking its just me being "genuine". Again, a poor excuse and rationalization for being an ........ Believe me, I'm tying not to be (with little to no success). And the other thing is my cynical view of the sport, in a space where there are diehard fans of the sport, well that doesn't go over well does it? Its like I joined NAAFA (the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance) and went on there calling everybody Fat Fuckers.
And you might as well know, there is only ONE great rider and human being in MotoGP worthy of proper worship: Honest, deserving, and beautiful to look at, and that is Nicky Hayden.

the edit to add ..... is my favorite part of this post.
hahahahahah.
PS. i love all the pictures of ..... butts.
From what i've seen this year he's just overriding too much and binning it, with a bit of nous he'd have another 30 odd points.

On another forum I had someone try to tell me the only reason VR didn't make the Desmosedici work was because he didn't stay for 2013. Note the key word didn't as opposed to couldn't.
