Oxley still spreading the blame

Yahoo Japan is bike .....
NR750? Burning Blood RS250? Walter Wolf.....
Dangerous place that I stopped visiting

Any idea on what kind of price I would be looking at for a decent tz250 or RS? There seems to be huge amount of variance on anything I've seen.
 
I only really trust OEM Honda pistons. There are Wossner and other replacements but I've heard enough horror stories to stay away. When I run out of spares I'll look into alternatives. But I'm not surprised that OEM are getting $$$. 4 point or cold seizure in a kart is one thing, on a 125....yikes. Also, don't know enough about the state of tune of karts to be able to comment. I like to go close to standard as possible and get on with riding...so relieving pistons etc isn't my bag. Jet the thing and ride. Bloody GP bikes are high maintenance enough...

Yeah, Superkarts are tuned to hell too, I blew 4 pistons in one day once...and I wasn't even pushing that hard!

Sorry, man. I got my dream bike (Honda RS125R that had done 2 whole races) and banned myself from looking. Plus stayed away from 250GPs
Been to tz250.com? If they are still going, another good source
 
Good spot #22.

That's a bit creepy. Obviously Prophet must be a member here. I wonder who that is. Anybody want to chime in?

Looks like Mat responded.

Mat Oxley

I agree up to a point. JL was involved. Rude gesture to VR on Sepang podium. Then tried to play part in CAS process


----

Well, Lorenzo already apologized for thumbs down (a reaction to a booing crowds, but still ok no excuse, I'm glad he took responsibility).

About CAS, it was his right (according to Kropo) as he had a stake. As much as VR had a right to appeal. So there is no guilt in exercising one's rights.


Edit: clicked on 'Prophet's' account. Looks like someone from Indonesia. So anybody want to come forward?
.

that was me. sorry :D

DING DING DING DING DING! What do we have for her Johnny?
 
Ah, you creepy booger. Well at least next time ask me to edit out the profanity.


Btw, what did u think of Mat's response?

:p

I agree if JL was guilty.

not for marc, he's the victim, obviously.

I think its good to drag Oxley to this forum.

I don't think it would be a good idea. With all doo respect to Kropo, I'm not sure his guest feature is helping his site.

I guess I am always game to tell people who are established how wrong their notions are, and why they don't know what they are talking about.
 
Oxley is a politician just like Rossi

Rossi politics backed fired last year and then he eat 9 millions sour grapes and spoilt everyone's party, in what was a great season.

Funny how oxley relates last years debacle to scool children fighting. In this case the oldest guy acted like a baby and the youngest acted like a man
 
Oxley = rossi fan boy.

While it appears HRC may start off on the wrong foot. What will be rossi, Oxley & the yellow nation excuse, when he finds himself up against Lorenzo & Vinales all of 2016? Oh we know the answer to this............... Vinales is helping Lorenzo to beat him. Another great Spanish conspiracy. I can just image whats going thru his head since PI when he sees Vinales performance. Someone should tell Suzuki to put on kick protector on Vinales bike.
 
Did anyone see Mladins take on it?

Soup :: Sepang Schism: WWMMD? :: 02-15-2016

"At Phillip Island Marquez definitely had speed up his sleeve as evidenced in the last two laps," Mladin said. "Was he screwing with Rossi? Who knows. Maybe so, but this stuff happens all the time. All racers think they owe someone else a touch up for being a ........."

Mladin continued, "Obviously Rossi seen something he didn't like at PI. (Then) at Sepang he decided to run Marquez wide. Still don't see what the big deal is about that incident. In no way did Rossi cause Marquez to crash. Marquez wanted back into the track and turned into Rossi. He could have braked to a complete stop then turned back onto the track. Rossi's leg came off the bike cause it got hooked onto Marquez."

And the events that came after the incident, with Rossi being sanctioned? Like Kevin Schwantz, Mladin seems to feel it was something that should have been handled in private.

"Personally," Mladin wrote, "I think it should have been settled in the pits like the good old days of racing. But thanks to all the do-gooding ......s in the world these days there are now rules and regulations in place at most events that tell you when you can fart and for how long."

What do you think? Typical Mat?

I'm pretty sure Mladin is calling it like he sees it. I believe he is apolitical.

Had a rider put such a move on Mladin he would have been crying about it to high heaven. I read his take when it was published, I just laughed. I got to see him race often in the many years he was here, besides being a great talent, the one thing he was known for was complaining about everything and being the most ill-tempered person in the paddock. I can not think of any one rider who would have cried more had a rider put that Rossi move on him. Maybe with the exception of Foggy.

He doesn't see any big deal with Rossi's move? I saw Mladin get stuffed by Eric Bostrom who was riding a ZX7 to his GSXR1000, and Mladin couldn't stop whining and crying about it during the podium ceremony. Somewhere on a crashed computer drive I have personal video of people mockingly laughing in his face and telling him to get over it, me included. Mladin had less tolerance for hard moves on him than Rossi does, and that's saying something. That's why he couldn't stand Ben Spies. Because Ben had the audacity to challenge him on the track.

To be honest Jums I've never seen a top racer not whine when something has gone against them.
