jumkie told me to believe in the power of dreams, well i had to keep pinching myself to make sure i wasn't dreaming
I have long suspected you were secretly a stoner fanboy roger
. Casey himself obviously detected this immediately. You will just have to learn to stop fighting it.
All jokes aside it doesn't seem casey was particularly cowed, or even significantly morose at this point in time. I guess being a multi-millionaire at age 22 and heading for highway one with adriana beside you can' t be all bad. I must say I am more in accord with his taste in women than his taste in cars.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Jumkie @ Jul 28 2008, 06:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>....... Roger, as he was squeezing by the Hummer, looked into the open window of the driver, and there staring back at him with a big ... smile from none other than Casey Stoner! Roger almost pissed his pants, says "Hello Mate", and Stoner returns the greeting and breaks out laughing at Roger acting like a star-struck schoolgirl. ....... unbelievable. But believe it, I have the pic to show for it.
Well I for one would like to say Rog. ..... that it is nice to know that not one punch was directed at Stoner, by you, upon your meeting.
But I am somewhat dismayed that you were disarmed by his smile and reduced to a giggling schoolgirl
Magic moment for sure .... could not have scripted it.

Undoubtedly mate.
Come to think of it, when I did the highway one drive from san francisco to la some time ago(last decade) with some friends it was in an equally ideologically unsound vehicle, a 7-litre/liter chevrolet suburban; I think we had the car rental place take out the gun mounts at least
.
It is absolutely spectacular, particularly down to as far as carmel.

Friday night we all got pretty wasted on all the booze i smuggled in. i smuggled some 9% special brew and a selection of strong cider. we drank a lot of that then i started mixing it into snakebites
then out came there tequila so we were banging that. i had bought a litre bottle of woods navy rum over with me for them to try ( 57%vol). pretty funny watching a dozen Mexican blokes staggering around talking like a pirate asking for another shot of pirate juice
some bloke came over out pitch the next day laughing, saying it was funny watching us and hearing people saying they could not feel there lips or face any more
we ended up going to a club in Monterey where they had a band playing and it was wall to wall woman and 1 or 2 transvestites i reckon
. i really cant remember how we got back from there but i woke up in the rv doorway with a blinding headache and jumkie had a bad hand, word was some parking meter looked at him a bit funny so he clouted it
how the hell we got to the track on saturday i will never know, i perked up for the parade lap but come that evening i really did not feel like drinking anything other than water, but that did not stop us going back to the club. that night monterey was just a mass of bikes. we had to climb a fence and get past security to get in the club. at about 11.00 everybody except me is totally wasted, i was still feeling jet lagged and ill from the night before but we decided we better get a cab back to carmel so we can be rested for tomorrows race. long story but we didn't actually get a cab until 3.30 in the morning, i think the cab company had put the word out that there was 3 mexicans and an englishman that they should avoid
while we were trying to get a cab jumkie had spotted someone who he said he thought was earl out of my name is earl, jumkie is the master at spotting famous people from a mile away. one of jumkie's compa's (mates) shouts out to him "yo mate have you got a light". earl or his reel name jason lee walks over the road to us and says sure but none of us had any ciggys as none of us smoked
he said "why the .... did you ask me for a light then" we just said ah we clocked who you are and wanted to say hi. we stood there and had a right laugh with him. jumkie told him i was a brit and told me to say something to him. i said i dont not what to say so jumkie said well tell him he's ....... gay or something
with that jason lee got all hot under the collar telling us that he is not gay
then jason started to put on an english accent and really take the piss out of me to all our amusement. we then ran to a cab thinking we had a ride only to see someone was already in it, by the time we turned around jason lee was running and already 2 blocks away from us
well be got a cab in the end and got to the races.....good times

Great story and pikkies Roger. Looked like Jumkie is a great host and took a lot of effort to give you a great time.
I have to admit that I am very curious/ bemused about your change in attitude towards Casey. Is it because of that meeting or because up close at the track you could see how fast he is........or just a bit of everything. Please indulge me ...............
Cheers, bunny

ive never said i hate casey, you lot assumed that. i just said i dont like the tantrums . but sure going to a race like this does tend to remind you of there skill than just seeing it on tv plus getting to actually ride the corkscrew highlights what nutters these racers are.
i watched in awe casey and vale battled and had massive respect for both of them. i was rather saddened on my return when i watched the bbc's coverage and heard what stoner had to say in the parc perme interview, but as i said im going to ignore that.
and jumkie was a great host, hopefully he may take the trip over the pond and let me take him to donny or i.o.m tt

I'm sure Roger will elaborate. But in a nut shell, you see that these guys are real humans. From afar we see they are professionals and super talented at their craft. We admire their abilities. The thing is, most everything we know about these riders is through what is on TV or what is written, and of course what fans say about them (which sometimes does more harm than good, as I have learned). They become almost like an intangible abstract entity. Ah, but when you meet them face to face, you see they are as human as you. At that points its just two guys with similar interest in motorcycle racing, us the spectator, and they the professional racers we admire. Its an amazing impression.
