Is that what Rossi fans think? How simpleminded. I don't think I have worse life than racers, actually I think I live better life. But then again, I do not hate any racers, either. I lost all respect for Rossi, true, it happened when he turned a moron. I think he lives an unhappy life. I do not feel sorry for him, although I feel sorry for the sport he is poisoning.

:spin:If Rossi didn't exist the boppers would all join the Justin Bieber fan club the next day

Tho I was only an OK club racer, I remember how alive I felt from the time I was rolling the bikes and gear into the truck in front of my house, right up until that dying of the light time late Sunday afternoon after the last trophy was accepted, when you looked around the paddock and everybody was picking up the trash, folding up their canopies, hanging up the leathers and putting the helmet back in the box, looking in your pocket to make sure after buying that extra set of slicks that you still have enough money for gas and putting away all the tools and seeing all your friends driving away and taking a fistful of pain killers for that broken collar bone or those bruised ribs, knowing there was that ......, long boring drive home from Road Atlanta or Mid-Ohio eating at crap highway rest stops along the way. That fried to the bone feeling after driving 36 hours without sleep crossing the Verrazano Bridge as the sun was coming up, knowing I'd have to go back to work the next day. Life when not racing sucked. Especially the winters.
I won't lie, I miss racing. But not the time in-between races. So I totally understand why guys with millions in the bank stick around long after they've stopped being competitive. If that's all you've done since you were a little kid - it's hard to imagine being happy in any other way.

Obviously, you haven’t met curryfart.

Weak Tea is must be environmentally aware. That's why he keeps recycling the same impotent jokes.

MotoGP riders are making millions because us fans watch the sport, and therefore make it popular. We also pay to watch the sport (at least I do, as I don't have much of a choice). I think every fan has every right to express his opinion on every rider. We are not hooligans who beat each other up after all. We just claim to like or dislike some of these milionaires who ride motorcycles for a living.
So eff Rossi, really

My sentiments exactly
Me too. Simon Crafar wrote a tweet a few yrs ago where he posted a photo of his family and said something like "In my 20's I based my happiness on race results, my 30's I was lost. In my 40's I'm sure again and this is what success is"
I race now for fun, which means when I'm free for an event I do it. But I don't give myself the pressure to get my outfit ready for a race deadline. I remember 10 yrs ago I'd lose 3 weekends a month to every month I went racing. 1 weekend to prep the outfit and load the trailer, the next for racing, then the following to clean and rebuild the outfit. Along with the long hours on the road like Keshav said, it begins to take the fun out of it.
I don't envy anyone having to fly around the world to live in a hotel and race paddock most of the yr. Been there done that, no thanks.

Totally relate. One more reason why I think Stoner is such a champ. He never got addicted to the brolly ....., the attention from the press or any of that ...... He'd done what he set out to do and went on to enjoy all the stuff he'd missed during the years on the road and found real happiness with his family.
I am sorry that you see yourself a joke.
Shirley, there must be something worth living for?

Sorry if I've missed someone else posting about Motogp in amongst all the quality banter but Dani passed fit for the weekend.
Good luck to the wee fella.

Good for him. I already feel sorry for whoever is in front of him as he brakes for turn 1.

Oh Rajesh, you’ve had about 7 months to weaponize yourself and “Weak tea” is all that you’ve come with? This is even sadder than your non existent “Racing career”. Hell, even “Subaru driving fat ....” showed more promise.
Step your game up. You’re better than Barry. Barely, but better.

What's sad is that you are (possibly) an adult who clings to a 11 year old's concept of what it means to dominate. What's sad is most of your nastiest insults are projections of all the things that you hate most about yourself, a guy who has nothing, has never ridden a motorcycle or been to an actual race trying desperately (and failing spectacularly) to wound people who are and who have everything you wish for. What's sad is you have so little awareness of the fact that you are and always will be - nothing more than an ordinary troll with no acquaintances (never mind actual friends) other than a few other morose trolls.
And I never said I had a "career". No matter. Even the most humble novice club racer will have more insight into racing than a no-experience ...-clown who's never ridden a bike, something you haven't denied.
