It must be awesome to crash and not worry about how much your bike will cost to fix!

[Lloydo46]

and having a brand new set of leathers and helmet on every outing.

[mushrume]

@Lloydo46 iam with you man . a 1000 dollar helmet and a 1400$ set of leathers is more than what my bike cost on average to fix

[mushrume]

@Lloydo46 i bet he keeps the leather until he is forced to change them by sponsors or he dumps . when they get broken in you woulden't want to give em up .

ah yes casey should watch , valentino rossi races from largs to gourock for a kebab ,.

he dont crash even one time no.

[gsxr600L1]

love the way he just goes sliding tarmac and then onto gravel, but still gets up straight away, jogs over to the bike to see if it's ok, and gets on with it

@westaus05 No argument there :)

Cheers!

@westaus05 Gee! Rossi has never crashed on any bike did he? Rossi looks totally at home on the ducati this year doesn't he. Rossi's never come close to crashing the ducati yet has he? You know, the bike that stoner wasn't pushing hard enough on. Even though the bike is different to last year they were changes Vale asked for & look where he is. When Casey made that comment to Rossi, it was in relation to the race, not about rossi's career. He said "Your ambition outweighed your talent"- one off.

"Road Racing Experience: Not essential, but high performance riding experience required.
"

"Other criteria: Talent, ambition, drive and gasoline in the blood!"
