Stoner is coming back with Ducati = for testing

For those who don't have videopass, care to explain?

WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET IT.


hah, basically the interviewer said to him: "5 of the top 10 riders are ducati. ducati seems to be strong." in which he responded "yeah, it's clearly because of my testing already."

but he was joking, obviously. i just thought it was cute/funny.
 
I'M GOING TO GET IT SOON, GOSH.

P.S. How much is it in the US? It's 200 Euro's here, about £150 or $200
 
I thought so, it's a fuggin rip off here because BT sport have the exclusive contract.

No.
Its because Dorna changed their format to that multi screen bollocks.
Hence they started charging 145euros, which has gone up I believe.
However people who got a video pass before the format changed can have auto renew as I have so only get charged the old 95euro price.
This year was great, high exchange rate meant I only paid about £70 for mine:spin::p

......... Sure he has the right but doesnt mean anyone has to respect it.
If I change my name to Jerry Sandusky should you respect that?


Well Knockdown I dont agree that you want to name yourself after a ......... that molested boys for decades but I do respect your decision.

Makes sense right?

yes, but saying that I or anyone else has to respect it is mealy mouth political correctness run amok.

I would likely qualify very much as a "liberal" by current US standards, but even I am not so keen on the Islamic thing these days, albeit my distaste is perhaps more for Wahabism, although that barbarous and medieval ideology does seem to be becoming more and more influential on hitherto more moderate adherents.

I don't think things were as they are now when the man in question changed his name from Clay to Ali though, and he was disrespecting a name given to his forbears almost certainly mockingly when they were slaves rather than disrespecting his forbears themselves, so I am with you on that.

Funny how nobody goes around refusing to call the pope by the name he takes when appointed.

I've watched Ali's bio and agree that he was as dumb as a box of rocks and that he was sucked in to Elijah Mohammed's scene and used as a puppet. That notwithstanding, his intent when converting very much seemed to be motivated by a genuine desire to live a better life and to be a part of a community that (he believed) was fighting for a better life for blacks in an extremely racist country. Blacks wanting a better life in that era didn't have a lot of choices when it came to organizations that made a real difference.

People convert from Christianity to Judaism all the time and it's not controversial at all, (unless your name is Sammy Davis Jr. ;)

Let me let you in on a little secret. The video pass allows you to watch 20 riders or so circulate around various tracks. Four of those riders will top the timesheets in various scenarios like practice, and qualifying. Every once in a while a 5th rider will enter the top four but that will be short-lived. On raceday, 9 times out of 10 those same 4 bikes will place 1st thru 4th. Buying a video pass is like buying video feed of the Wales Weather Channel. Im going to go out on a limb here but my guess is that its going to rain tomorrow.
Now, if that money is burning a hole in your pocket and you really want to spend it then just send it to me. I really could use some money for a flight to Shovs Club and maybe have a little leftover for a bottom shelf shot of tequila. Although Im sure Shovel will probabaly tell me that my drink is on him. I'm a little wary of what that phrase means, coming from him, so I'd prefer to pay for it out of pocket.
If you really want to watch something unpredictable then just go to the "What are you listening to?" thread and look out for Sparrows posts

I call him that because it was his given name, and I don't recognize Islam as anything more than a cancer that he sadly succumbed to.

Lots of folks feel the same way about Catholicism. Personally they're all nonsense to me. No one more than the other.

And if he says he is going to race, then we get to play the never-ending round robin of trying to figure out which race(s). Imagine if you are Ducati? Every press conference that has someone from Ducati, whether it be the riders or the techs or the garage sweeper, they will be asked every single time about Casey.

Why do that?

I think he is probably going to race, but we won't know till the latest possible time they can announce a wild card entry for whatever race it is so as to avoid all the ........ dragging on.

He is testing again today.

The guy never did an official test session with Honda, then does 2 days with Ducati? I find it curious.

Other thing is, he also denied he was retiring, till he retired.

Guys, with all due respect. There is enough .... going on in the world thanks to Religion, if I wanted to see or talk about it I'd log on to a website called NEWS. I come here to feed my love of bike racing and bike banter, and seeing as this is a thread about Stoner returning to Ducati, I'd appreciate it if religion was kept out of it and if you must, started in a thread in the lounge.

Have a good night :)

Phrase you'll never hear at an Athiest meeting.
"Hey guys, Whose head we cutting off this week?"

A thing you won't find at Mecca: separate bathrooms for blacks, Chinese, Indians and Malaysians.


A thing that Christian America conveniently forgets; not so long ago (in the scheme of world history) a little thing called the Spanish Inquisition. Oh yeah.... and that little foray known as The Crusades where hundreds of thousands of Muslims were killed in medieval fashion in order that white folks could steal whole countries and run off with their invaluable holy relics.

I'm sure you think "It's all water under the bridge. Forgive and forget.... right?" I mean that's certainly the philosophy that you preach. :p

Can you shut the .... up?

Discussion is over.

Stop dragging this .... back to the front dude.

Damned right! Changing your name is the sort of thing that kings and queens , popes, friars and monks can do. But damned if some uppity black boxer should be allowed the same self-determination.
