as much as I'd like to bash him, I can't say I blame him at all.

Re: Mladin says "No" to Daytona 200
I wouldn't be real excited about running Daytona, tire failures or not. It's not a safe track.

Re: Mladin says "No" to Daytona 200
"“To look at it in a different light, what happens now when a guy can buy a CBR1000 or a GSXR1000 and with a set of aftermarket cams, pipes and a little tuning can make a 180 horsepower? Anybody can come here and go 180 to 183 miles per hour. And unfortunately all these privateers don’t get the same treatment we get with tires, and the factory guys are still blowing tires. What about the lives of all these privateer riders? "

True enough.

But he's gonna get a phone call from Suzuki "asking" him to mention them first next time...."

Now I'm a Mladin fan. That is huge. Whatever he's said before, I can't help but respect him for saying that.

Re: Mladin says "No" to Daytona 200
I would agree with him on this issue. He's got a great point. FIM and Dorna didn't take the riders seriously about Suzuka, but after the death of Kato, they finally woke up.

Well if no one else wants to bash him I will....

Mladin, Ya chicken Sh!t pvssy, Shut up and ride!


Having said that, if this is as serious an issue as it is being made out to be, I think there will be some changes made. Maybe some precautions, maybe this will put Mladin back into the runnings. But when all is said and done, He will eventually run out of excuses and have to use the final one...

I'm just not as good as people make me out to be.
