Hawt Motorcycle Talk
I was streaming live when both Tomizawa and Simoncelli were killed, and I thought for sure I was going to see it again (only more violently) as soon as that bike started ghostriding itself out of the crash and back toward the track.
How both bikes split Rossi and Vinales without crushing either into a fine mist was probably the most miraculous thing I've seen on a racetrack.

Yes, I saw the crash. Rossi was definitely very shaken up by it. Kudos to him for going back out.
I changed my avatar a few days ago when people were adopting SEC teams to follow. Since I don't give a flying fuck about football, I decided to support Rossi. I want him to get his 200th podium.
I think he'll retire after this season, especially after dodging that crash yesterday.
I've watched many replays of the Simoncelli crash. Just horrible all around...
Pedrosa still has regrets for not shaking his hand leading up to that race. He was pissed at Marco for causing a crash that broke Pedrosa's collar bone. -
Dorna removed the feed of both races with the deaths, so I'm guessing you found one of the YouTube clips that are out there. With both Simoncelli and Tomizawa, there was no hiding anything in the live feed. You knew right as it was happening that both were dead. Not something you ever expect to see in a live sporting event no matter how dangerous the sport.
I'm absolutely certain Sunday's crash would have been another death if that bike hit either Yamaha rider.
In other news, still liking that SS? -
Oh yeah, one more thing: Call me crazy, but I might place my first real sports bet for that little fuck Marquez to still win the championship. Particularly with Portugal added to the calendar, the guys at the top keep flaming out at a rate that's going to allow Marquez right back in it by season's end.

I first saw Simoncelli's crash on the Prime movie "Hitting the Apex". Then, I went on YouTube and found more videos from a couple of different angles. Colin Edwards hitting Marco's torso was bad enough, but then Rossi hit him in the back of the neck. I can't even imagine what Rossi went through int he aftermath, because he and Simoncelli were pretty much best friends.1to392831weretaken said:Dorna removed the feed of both races with the deaths, so I'm guessing you found one of the YouTube clips that are out there.

I love the SS. I've gotten even more comfortable on it. I haven't been riding it as much as I thought, because I've actually been doing a like of bicycling in the past 3 months.
If I had the money, I'd be very tempted to get a Streetfighter V4. But then, what would _I_ do with 208 HP? The SS has 110 and that's a lot of fun. I just wish the tank capacity was a little more than 4.2 gallons. -
Take this to the motorcycle racing bored!

You try being a technically gifted bored selector while blowing ass after an exciting race!

Great photo sequence.
It's still incredible to watch the videos. -
Was bored, figured I should post a picture of the SuperSport S.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to own anything other than a Ducati moving forward. I have a 2008 Ninja 650R, which I'll keep. But, I'm definitely addicted to the Ducati sound. Wouldn't mind test-riding a BMW though. -
No wai! Would you rather fuck an Italian broad or a German chick?PurpleBaze said:Was bored, figured I should post a picture of the SuperSport S.
