Laguna Results

Even with some of the stupid comments by the commentators, I guess they have to talk down to the masses, I'm just glad that MC racing is starting to get some coverage. I know the Oregonian doesn't give a **** about it, they won't even reply to my emails. The only racing they want to cover is CRASHCAR.

I'm pretty new to motorcycle racing... I was hooked after going to my first Superbike race at VIR last summer... but if I remember correctly, doesn't Rizla produce rolling papers? I asked this awhile back & don't remember any response.

Yes. There must be big bucks in roll up papers they have backed a good 2 bike team in BSB for several years.

I would have to agree with those who thought the coverage of the race was not so hot. Atleast the commentary (was for fourth graders)...the graphics with lean angles, gear indicator etc. were pretty neat.

Now we need it in HIGH DEFINITION!! :yahoo:

So, a rolling paper manufacturer can sponsor a race team? Interesting & funny at the same time.

Yeah, I rarely get to debate racing with other folk, so when I do, I kinda get hardcore about it. Plus probably every sportbike rider has got to be a frustrated racer, don't you think?

I'd always wondered about the Rizla thing, I did think so. Well according to www.rizla.co.uk, they do. And they've been doing it since 1532!! That's almost 500 years?!? :blink:

It fits because most of the racing sponsors have been tobacco, like Marlboro, Camel, Lucky Strike, Gauloises, etc. but the uptight Puritan ******** have enacted legislation banning tobacco advertising at sporting meets. Personally I think everyone has the right to go to hell in their own way, so I think that's wrong.

Yeah, but I DON'T want my motorcycle racing dumbed-down goddamnit. Everything else is, and so it's all a puddle of ****, and I don't want to see motorcycle racing going the same way. It's one of the few things left on TV that I enjoy.

I LIKE the SpeedTV chaps, they actually know what the hell they're talking about, have a grip on who the riders are, and add value to the race. I also want the director to be smart enough to not focus continuously on the lead guy, especially when he's 5 or 10 sec out front, and show how the battle for 2nd/3rd/4th is going or maybe some other nice dicing even if it's 10th place.

And this is Freddie Spencer for god's sake... he's the only same-year 250/500 champ ever, and he should know this stuff cold. I'm just putting it down to nervousness/it's-live, but he still sucks.

How many times did they show Roger Lee Hayden, even though he was kicking butt? Maybe twice?

Sorry. I'll climb off my podium.

.....Bridgestone is clearly the tire to have.

Short memory, it seems. A week ago in Germany Bridgestone was NOT the tyre to have. On this day, at this track, yes.

If you guys wanna whinge about the race commentary....start your own thread. This one was about the race results....check the heading. Bloody thread hi-jackers :lol:

You are correct that he is not the primary instructor, but does offer tips and pointers to students while at his school. A imbecile he is not, regardless of a technical slip-up or not. As for your avatar and riding experience, all I can go by is your motobio-blog which does not impress me all that much. Back in the old days of racing, riders pretty much kept there ***** in the saddle. Nowadays its pretty much off to one side or the other with alot of side to side transition done with bodyweight shifting from peg to peg. I used this quite a bit while racing/trackdays @ Pacific Raceway and Spokane Raceway Park. I'm no expert..........but WMRRA did give me a Expert Race License last night...............or did I stay at the Holiday Inn Express last night?????
I remember now.........It was the Holiday Inn Express last night and my Expert race License expired in '01!

At 42, my mind is going! I just remembered I have to get my drivers license renewed!

Guess I'm no expert anymore!

Happy Riding Cowboy!

Wow, a WMRRA Expert license. I'm SO phukin impressed. Don't they give those out for not crashing for a couple of races?

I took my last WERA Heavyweight Twins Expert regional championship at 45 in 2000. If "modern" racers hang off, I guess this pic proves I'm a geezer.

I'm done with you, Captain Assumption.

C'mon Andre,

Were just starting to become friends! :yahoo:

And it's not that you're a geezer, You just ride a bike kinda phunny. <_<

xxx's & ooo's

Bryce

PS

Your right again about the WMRRA expert license.....Easy to get! It was given to me, I didn't have to ask!
