    Of course he wouldn't. The GP paddock has shown it doesn't care about performance outside of Moto3/Moto2. Cam had some impressive races in Moto2 on a bike he was unfamiliar with and with an unproven team, but he never won and wasn't a real title contender.

    Roberts is probably our only hope for an American in MotoGP, and even that might be a long shot. We may have to wait until some of the kids racing in Yurup now in lower classes progress.

    could be… I do see some of the ultraviolet spectrum that most can’t and my color detection out performs automated formula writers for automotive finishes ;)

    and ok it’s a reddish fluorescent pinkish color and maybe a tint of orange.. :D they should go all in and use JD Beach and Brandon Paasch pink like real men :crackup:

    thank goodness racing starts next week so we can discuss real issues :D

    I’d love to make a MotoGP round. Never been to one. My close friends went to Indy years ago and bought the Yamaha team shirts. Then a friend gave them an all access paddock pass and they went to Kinkos and made a couple of perfect copies. Then they were walking through the pits and the satellite team at the time stopped from wheeling bikes out to let them walk by. lol.

    I invited you a few years ago as I drove by your shop from Naples to Austin… you had in-laws and a marathon to run or something…

    someday we will have to meet up and reminisce about Daytona and lollipop’s and godfather racing and old school days all while watching the GP… seems more fun now then when we were all running around working the entire events from load in to after parties

    I could tell years of stories about credentials and passes… you’d think they’d learn that racers are ingenious and will get by with a little help from their friends anyway… that being said Dorna and IRTA were always great to us… only tracks tried to make things difficult at times…

    The Pramac colors are . . . different. Prima probably increased the cash they were spending and got to pick more purple on the bike.
    The black? It’s like, how much more black could it be? And the answer is none. None more black.

    I know I was poking fun of the Pramac Duc but holy shit are the VR46 bikes even uglier… I hope Vale did that so Bez and Digi would ride it faster just so they can get off of the ugly things quicker by winning :D

    and it’s taken awhile but I think we’ve finally returned to the ugly 80s, actually before my time in racing, but I still have nightmares about all the fluorescent ghey ass colors that I’m sure pink polo sporting @Dave K loved :Poke::p

    speaking of 80s colors… who remembers the “Hypercolor” I think it was called fabric that changed colors with temperatures? Nothing like crotches and armpits showing who’s boss…. I remember some girls sports teams that tried them hysterically :D

    I wore a set of Zs that Adolf actually called and asked if I was sure. Yeap, dark purple ish blue with fluorescent pink accents and pink ass and back of legs. Loved that suit.

    and I’ve never owned a pink polo, that’s for bmw drivers. Pink oxfords from brooks brother, Ya’ dope. :D

    Duc should be able to secure a Crayola sponsorship across the board for next year.

    :D I’m probably mixing it all up but in my mind you had a pink preppy popped collar when you unleashed the ash tray furry on whoever it was… damn man… that story was decades ago… :D

    Those leathers sound glorious… or at least fabulous :crackup:

    I can usually spot the Ducatis pretty easy because it’s not hard to guess the top ten bikes minus a few Aprilia. lol
