Pause for thought.....

Yup, and that's why you got a response like Skid, because you pointed to Elias as a .... canon but then again, your boy, and perhaps mine too, have put on some very close and questionable moves, but you chose to single out Elias, the guy that your boy just complained about.
2. Yeah, I see your point, but they are big boys. More people die on the interstates in my country, perhaps we should ban cars?
3. Perhaps they should ban the Isle of Mann?
4. Yeah man, you got me thinking. .... Toni, hes an ....... (jk). Nah, but really, we have always had deaths in racing, but they are trying to make it safer all the time. Despite that, there are freak accidents.
5. You touched a nerve you jerk (I say this in the most loving way) because you singled out Elias.


Well, I'm not gonna become mr subtlety now am I?

You cant carry the encyclopedia of GP in your head all the time AND think about everyone elses feelings. I'd have to be a God like Rossi to pull that off.

Uhm, I distinctly remember you not thinking Pedrosa's torpedo of Hayden was that bad and dangerous. Yet, this is exactly the type of "incident" that can end a career, if not, God forbid, a life. But here is the thing, you tell Skid to get off his high horse (an Elias fan), but man, as a Hayden fan I was crushed to see my boy go down as he did in Portugal; I was excruciatingly sensitive to what posters said about the incident. Perhaps you “knew better” about the dangers of motorcycle racing as you say to Skid, eh buddy? But you thought I was going overboard and perhaps even ruining the sport ife we reprimanded Pedrosa for that incident. Nop that's not "hypocritical" is it? I distinctly remember getting on and saying they should reprimand Pedrosa, hell even get ride of him for that crash, but a few Rossi fans like yourself were not really too phased by Pedrosa's reckless dive bomb. Double standard maybe?

You see, this is why it smacks of hypocrisy. I do believe Pete had some good intensions starting this thread. As I have read both yours and Pete's stance on the sanctity of life, even extended to animals, that you have a good heart, but you gotta remember boys, when you mix in a .... storm of criticism on a rider because your boy (the 7 time champ) complained about him, well, expect a push back, especially if when the tables were turned, there was an absence of threads coming out in favor of safer racing.

To be honest, I picked up on Elias here due to the Haystack incident. But, with me being a Mindless Cheerleader, folks are naturally gonna think that it's coz he fell out with Rossi.

Here is my plan, tell me what you think. Everybody who doesn't cause an accident can have these girls immediatley after the race.

Everybody who does cause an accident gets this women.

And they can open the champagne bottle to celebrate and be recognized as: The Reckless Piece of .... of The Race Who Caused an Accident Winner.

What are your thoughts? Discuss.


Jeez Jumkie, wee Asimo would never come out of there alive!
