Round 8 - MotoAmerica at the Brickyard

Maybe I should get new friends.

 

nah - this is exactly WHY we are friends.

 

Orrrrrr, a friend.

but I'd bet that if you needed a friend to bail you out of jail you'd be shit out of luck. Why? 'cause almost everyone here would be sitting in the cell next to you telling you how cool that was.

 

Pickled Egg lives kinda close to me, maybe he'd bail me out. He wouldn't be in the cell next to me cause he is a responsible adult with kids and stuff.

 

Well nobody will have to worry about cam next year he’s going to moto2

how legit is speedweek? I find it hard to believe he would move over to moto2 especially if American racing is ‘financially lacking’ per article. He’s been in 125gp and knows how cutthroat it is over there & has emphasized he would only go over to Europe with the right ride.

*edit* it does look like joe is going over to italtrans for 21... makes it a bit more legit

 

all 5 of em? nope.. lol. and now have a couple of E-mtn bikes to keep me occupied on days off the dirt bikes.

 

The truth about the events surrounding Matt:

So.. can we finally put the bullshit to rest about the crash?
From Westby Racing...

adding the text for those without facetube or that need the black and white in front of em..

"...
In our previous press release on Mathew’s injury, we erroneously reported that he had been taken to the hospital by Kiara in a passenger vehicle. In actuality, Mathew was transported by ambulance from Indianapolis Motor Speedway to Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital.
“Right after the crash, I was in a lot of pain, mostly from my thigh,” Mathew said. “It was so bad that I didn’t even realize at first that I’d also injured my ankle. All I wanted to do was stand up, and when I did, I couldn’t bend my knee. Then, I quickly realized that I couldn’t put any weight on my foot. That’s when the doctor (Dr. Julia Vaizer from Indiana University Health Emergency Medical Center, which is located in the infield at Indianapolis Motor Speedway) helped me sit in the passenger seat of the safety car to take the weight off my leg till I could get in the ambulance. I’ve noticed that there’s been a lot of chatter on social media about them ‘stuffing’ me into that car, but that’s not what happened to me at all. The medical people at Indy took really good care of me. Dr. Vaizer did a great job.”
Kiara added, “Yes, the medical staff at the track were brilliant, and so was MotoAmerica’s Jim Buskirk and Norman Lastovica. Mathew was originally planning to have surgery on his ankle at an orthopedist in Atlanta, but Jim Buskirk recommended a surgeon right here in Indianapolis. We are so grateful about how everything worked out because the care Mathew received from the track, Methodist Hospital, and from Dr. Tim Weber (orthopedic surgeon specializing in foot and ankle trauma) with OrthoIndy, who did the surgery on Mathew’s ankle on Tuesday…all of them did such a great job.”
For Mathew, unfortunately, his 2020 MotoAmerica season is over, but team manager
Chuck Giacchetto
said, “Mathew is our Superbike rider. We wish him well, and when he’s ready to climb back aboard the #11 Westby Racing
Yamaha Racing
YZF-R1 Superbike, we’ll be ready to support him 100%.”

 

I get my apologies first.

 

You should go on a hunger strike until you get them. That should put you at about 120 pounds before the season is finished.

 

I don't know if you are well nourished enough to endure a hunger strike, so I'm recommending that you simply hold your breath until your apologies roll in.

 

I'm no Mongo, but I can maintain a hunger strike for quite a while if I need too. Maybe not 120lbs, but easily 30 or so. But, I expect the apologies will be coming right soon since all of the stupid people that I called stupid will now be fully understanding of the facts and will readily admit that they were wrong. Or not.

 

Gonna say a lot of us have broken many bones and otherwise wadded ourselves up a few times and yes, we'd rather just lay in the grass until the flashy bus got there than try to stumble over to a cramp sports car and climb in in full gear.
