i agree. ni may still dig up a few photos to put on here. its sizing them down thats the problem. its says under the upload button "max single upload size 10mb jet i have to down size them under 1 mb to upload.

Cool by me. Thanks for the upgrade.

I know it's a late reply but I have to say every photo and story here is pure gold.

I can only say I'm jealous of y'all.

I'm with Andy Roo, I don't know how I missed this!! You lucky pair of .....

Just been reading the entire thread again, because it makes me smile. It's like a good book or CD, you keep going back to the best bits. Anyhow, hadn't appreciated before how good the Lorenzo shot is Rog.

Amazing thread guys, really good read. Couldn't stop laughing.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Jumkie @ Aug 1 2008, 06:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Here is another true story. I'm calling this one 'The Hi-Five of Near Death.'

So we are standing next to the MotoGP garages trying to get a glimpse of the riders along the railing. Here are a few pics to give you an idea the of the crowds we had to fight off to snap a picture of a rider.

Then after waiting and waiting, ah we get to see somebody we recognize. Everybody starts saying, its Lorenzo, so more people rush the rail and we fight to get a glimpse. Roger and I wiggle our way up to the rail and see him coming down.

4227SC_0368.JPG]


Keep in mind, this is right before the race. Literally minutes before the start. Yet, he stops to take a moment to sign an autograph! (I'm not a fan, but this goes a long way for respect, and he's got mine).
4228SC_0369.JPG]




So he continues to come toward us. I keep snapping pics and just then Roger sticks out his hand...and Lorenzo looks right at him, dawns a big ... smile which turns into a laugh. Side note: I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but Roger's four front teeth are a dingy shade of off-white, but the rest of his teeth are gold-plated (not kidding, he looks like a ....... rapper when he breaks out a big ... smile.) I'm thinking this is what Lorenzo saw and couldn't help but laugh his ... off. This or perhaps tickled that Rog being a grown ....... man, is yelling out his name like he's a groupie for a boy band. So Jorge reaches out right to Rog and gives him a hi-five! Keep in mind, Roger is a big hefty guy and Jorge is an inch and 5 pounds bigger than dwarf Peders. So that hi-five jolts Jorge! ....... Roger starts smiling like a 13 year old girl, turns to me and says, "Did you see that?!?" I say, 'well i'm standing right next to you, how could I miss it? I says, 'not only did I see that, but I got your ....... hand reaching out in my picture!'

(By the way, remember the guy in the yellow shirt in every pic with Jorge, well that's Lorenzo's personal bodyguard. Keep him in mind for reference below).



Well remember, I'm calling this story 'The Handshake of Near Death'

Lets continue for an explanation.....


So we run out of the paddock and up to the hill to see the race. All happy because we saw the riders before the race, and Roger still smiling from that personal 'hi-five' he got. Opening ceremonies start, the national anthem is sung, and bam the race starts....cheers all around.

Then, ah man!

Holy ....!!!!

I turn to Roger, dude, what the .... did you do? Did you break his hand with that hi-five? You're bad luck man! Hey everybody, don't touch Roger, he's ....... bad luck! We all break out laughing giving Rog .... .... .....




Seriously, the very next picture we snapped after the race as we rushed the paddock was this next picture:

4230SC_0450.JPG]

Its poor Lorenzo (see his personal guard, his back to the pic). Well they had Lorenzo wrapped up like a mummy, no ..... They didn't want anybody snapping pictures of him so they wrapped him up in sheets and rushed him away. It was rather surreal and made me cringe to see him wrapped up like a dead man. Just moments before, while in the paddock, he was walking cheerfully toward his garage, signing autographs and giving "special" fans hi-fives and .....

Once we knew he was ok, we resumed the berating of Rog and how he might have caused poor Jorge some bad luck with that ‘Hi-Five of Near Death.’



You thought I was lying, eh...

Come on Rog, tell them the, 'that .... is gangsta' story.


So I have a Netflix account and they just put up a video called "MotoGP Riding Secrets" for rent. Being as it is the off season and it was about MotoGP, I picked it up for something to watch. It turned out to be mostly boring .... but early on there was a section that followed Jorge Lorenzo as he talked about his philosophy of riding and what not. There was a scene showing Jorge at Laguna Seca shaking hands with one crazy-assed dressed huge dude. Yup, Roger was caught on film and is in a MotoGP video.

No ....... way Jum should have been right there too??

Where is Rog anyway, last I saw him on the boards was when he was tangeling with the admins ?

You sissy ...... Come on Rog, who's going to keep me in line? If you won't say anything I could bash Rossi for fun all day long. Who would stop me? Curve? He's perma-baked and is tending to a Hopkins-induced boner. Who will keep the Haydenites in check? With you keeping to yourself and Migs going soft (I wouldn't know literally, that's not very appropriate for this forum), I have free reign on this forum.

Come get me, Rog.

Also, nice one on being on a Lorenzo documentary. I'll keep my eyes open for that.

Rog, I believe the man just called you a "sissy ....."!

Glad to hear it. After I posted I thought about it.

What if Rog didn't take too kindly to being called a sissy .....? Even with the smiley face afterwards. He's a big guy. And he knows karate or kung fu or something that would leave me battered and bruised in a matter of moments. I like the UK. I'd like to go back one day without having to look over my shoulder waiting for the gold plated smile to knock me out.

All the best, Rog. Hope you hang around.

When I figure out when I'm coming back, I'll let you know and we'll knock a few back. Have the London Pride and Caffrey's chilled and waiting.
