Re: Rossi's new exhaust

Who wants to take bets on how long it will take for some R1 squids to start chopping their pipes halfway up the midpipe and duct taping another piece of pipe next to it

So has Edwards bitched about not getting that yet?

True that... not bad for a bike that alot of people thought he would struggle with most of the season. Granted its still a step behind where it needs to be but he does his thing still

Re: Rossi's new exhaust

Christ you guys. OPEN your eyes. Rossi goes to Yamaha......... Michelin come up with a NEW tyre. Doesn't suit the Honda, or the new chassis, but wow, the Yammy, you can adust the chassis so the tyres work great. Coincidence? Yeah, the Yamaha is say ....10h.p down, but Rossi can flog the piss out of it............The Honda's are 10h.p up, but can only be ridden at 75% coz they don't handle, chatter etc. Honda are also using the Camel team to run Bridgestones, a Jap tyre............... once they get dialed in and are winning races, you don't think Honda will switch? Then, you don't think Michelin can see that? So why wouldn't they get into bed with Yamaha instead? Rossi and Burgess aren't stupid. Far from it. They would NEVER have gone there unless they KNEW they could win............not for it to be a challenge...............and Honda are ****ing themsleves big time tripping over themselves to change a bike that didn't need changing (said Burgess even) etc. I still maintain that Rossi , if on say......Edwards' Honda, would be no where. On the BEST RCV? with the right tyres, etc? Yep, kickin arse. BUT it ain't just ALL Rossi. Believe what you will.

Re: Rossi's new exhaust

I am always amazed at the trash talk that goes on everytime the MotoGP guys have a race. I look forward to the coming days after the race to read the threads about who did what, who knows what, what he said and the reasons why he lost or f*cked up. This is like reading a cheesey novel. You guys are great. Keep up the good work.

That's an exhaust?

How much technology went into that? Apart from using a hack-saw

With a retarded statement like this, all I could surmise is that you must be CE's girlfriend (not that there's anything wrong with that sort of thing). Your love for Colin isn't going to make him any faster. And putting out the candle of others will not make your flame burn any brighter. So don't put Colin in the same class as Rossi, let alone Sete or Max. He simply does not measure up.
