Mr. Boost Fade. AKA Internet tough guy. Im an idiot because I don't share the same opinion as you about something that's impossible to prove.
In his defense, I think he said you have proved it on previous occasions. I'm not gonna say he's wrong, but I'm also not… Well, no, that's it.
Yea, the previous occasion he referenced was in the Dungeon, in the Martin thread. Again, a difference of opinions. No need to call names because you don't agree with someone.
If there's any reason I am an idiot, its not for believing Kevin Schwantz on a Monster Yamaha M1 could beat James Ellison on the worst CRT bike, or for thinking that its not ok for an armed adult to confront and kill an unarmed teen. Its for wasting way too much time arguing on here.
No I said if. I do often wonder why I feel the need to argue on here though. Its a minor personality flaw, but Id say that overall, no, Im not an idiot.
I still think he would beat Ellison at the very least, but I do agree, that if asked, he would probably say that he would come in last place. He seems like a pretty humble guy, and respectful of all the racers.
The only factor debating kevins ability to hang with Hayes, Haga, Spies, etc... would be his physical condition, hes OLD! But i wouldent doubt his abilities one bit. He manhandled the 500cc era with grace. I bet he can still throw a bike around pretty damn good. Mike Hailwood was pretty old and still owned the TT is his prime age. The debate should of been Rainey in the chair VS Christopher Reeve on his stallion around the kentucky derby. Still would of put my money on RAINEY!
Not that I was checking the dude out in the pits or anything but agreed. That guy is in crazy good shape, I wonder what his body fat is.
The eyes and the reflexes are more inportant than the physical stuff, and that's what you lose with age. No way he can hang today.
Not sure those are as important in motorcycle racing as other sports. Feel is important so he would need some track time. He also wouldn't have the aggressiveness to really push hard either. My other answer was more pot stirring than anything, I think he'd be able to qualify tho.
Joey Dunlop was still winning at 48. I think once competition started Schwantz would do better than alot of people think.
