Decided to start a thread to aggregate and discuss all of the information related to BMW's SBK effort. Redding is currently fanning the flames, which I'm sure BMW are thrilled about. Meanwhile, the lower-profile riders continue to score decent results.
Redding: BMW Didn't Make The Steps We...
This is a motogp rider appreciation thread.
Going first. I always will remember and appreciate Wayne Gardner. He was the reason 500cc was first televised in Australia, in conjunction but often delay from F1 races, which I also loved. Anything with speed. I used to set the VCR recorder if it...
Pardon me, I didn't get permission from king Keshav to create a new topic, but I will go ahead anyway.
In case none of you has noticed, this forum sucks. It is one continuous conversation about Rossi.
There are so many great storylines that need to be discussed.
Time to drag this forum...
After 3 rounds I think the main contenders have made themselves known along with one other man who will likely be battling for the title:
Fabio
Pecco
Vinales
Zarco
Mir
Rins
Morbidelli
M Marquez
I think we can all or do all agree those are the 8 guys who have a realistic challenge in...
little late getting this thread started... Bambam took the first win, Roczen won round 2, and Tomac round 3... so far a good season, as every year.
anyone attending any races this year? I usually hit a few
A1 is 2 days away, it seems like it has been forever since the MotoGP season ended, can't wait to see 2-wheel racing again this weekend.
any predictions for the season?
Let's kick it off.
Who will top the test?
Who will surprise? Who will underwhelm?
Casey Stoner has done only four laps...and has already done an incredible 2:01.1! His talent is otherworldly.
I know this thread won't get much action, but I've noticed a push to break into the American motocross scene. Canceling the des Nations won't help international MX interest, but MXGP has now run a few races in the US. Ryan Villaputo was a major disappointment during his stint in MXGP. Other...
There you have it finally, in 2017: Andrea Dovizioso and Ducati can win multiple races against Honda and Yamaha. That makes me and many others happy. For Ducati, of course, But also, and in a very special way, for Dovi. Wonder why?
In the exclusive world of the MotoGP riders Dovi has always...
Season is half way done.
After Roczen went down I thought the title was over, but looks like moving to Team Green has transformed Eli Tomac into a consistent big boy class contender. I'm a Dungey fan, so I hope he scores his three peat, but I'm not rooting against Tomac, who has injected some...
I had high hopes for him at the start of the season, but he has become extremely reckless in the last 6 months (ever since he pulled off that pass at PI). So who else is he going to take out this season?
....... mother fuckity .... you guys! I cannot stand to see another thread about these two guys. One is a retire test rider for Jorge and the other is an active rider. We get the rest, you don't have to start another thread to just state your opinion about an ongoing argument. We get it...
I just had an idea. Thanks to Jack Miller's epic put down of Neil Hodgson last year at PI. Anyone have/remember any epic rider quotes?

Nicky Hayden's "It Ain't Fishin'!" Quote from Barcelona 2006 sticks in my mind too.
Seriously, for someone as aggressive, skilled, and willing to scrap as Murderous Marc Marquez is, Rossi really has made him his ..... in 2015. I mean, has he not... and done so quite easily?
I just wanted to start a thread where we can all congratulate Jorge Lorenzo on his 3rd Championship! Not sure why nobody started this earlier. Way to go JL and Yamaha.
