Sounds like he trying to force a pass again, Daytona again? But, I know I have to room to talk since I am no were as skilled as the AMA riders.

He's a wreckless fool who doesn't need to be in the AMA.

Re: Yates Broke Shoulder In Crash ...

He was the one doing the passing, and they were just testing. This ones on him. Can't feel as sorry for him as I ordinarily would, because he has demonstatrated himself to be a truly poor sportsman.

Yeah, if he didn't feel good enough to drop kick the EMGO rider, threaten his pit crew, lay out on the track or anything, he must be hurtin' for certain.

Very true but I don't see them running up the inside of other riders and slamming into them causing a crash. Then bitching about it or headbutting or missile dropkicking them on national TV . It's not the first time Mr. Yates has made someone he was trying to pass go down...

Re: Yates Broke Shoulder In Crash ...

Yeah, his attitude problem has gone much further than Mladin's or Gobert's ever did. The former are both big time asses as well, they just never pulled on-track horseshit. Yates has the ability, but he should have been made an example the first time. If it happens again he needs more than a little slap on the wrist.

Re-live the memories...

"yates" titled video is rated R for language (Team Iguana video). The other is the Speed broadcast.

Hmm...Yates and I have the exact same birthdate...we've now both broken a shoulder on a racetrack...we both have Suzukis...we each have a blonde wife...

I feel like kicking someone.
