When in doubt-GAS IT! Ted Hubbard

"If you're not scaring yourself in every turn, you're not going fast enough." -Ed Bargy said this when I got my license from his school.

The Aldana quote from On Any Sunday has always been a favorite of mine too.

 

Three of my favorites, all of which I dont know where they come from

"When in doubt, Gas it!. If it doesnt fix the problem, at least it will end the suspense!"


"If you love your bike, set it free. If it comes back to get you, you probably highsided"


And first told to me by Leo Sulpy about Roebling Road raceway, but It is a mantra of mine now...

"NO matter what happens, JUST TURN. You stand a better chance on the pavement than you do in the dirt"

 

Gawd's honest truth, never give up the asphalt...The bike wants to turn more than you do, at least try to help it do so...

Quotes from Max Biaggi and Valentino Rossi

Max Biaggi: `I won the race but I understand how Rossi must feel because it happened to me in 1998. I am happy to have the 25 points but it is not like a normal celebration. All I can say is that I have sympathy for Rossi but the rules have to be applied.´

Valentino Rossi: `I know I was the best rider on the day. I deserved the win – I rode well. On the first three laps and on the podium the atmosphere and support for me was incredible – it was like being at Mugello again. I didn´t see the yellow flag – there was no debris from Ukawa´s bike or any visible danger, but it is clear from the video footage that I passed Capirossi under the flag´.

Dont remember the exact quote from Faster but:

Rossi: "I lika rida zee streets. I have a cbr. But is dangerous. Is dangerous because all of zee fackin idiots driving zee cars."

Hopper had a really, really good one at the end. Still gives me good bumps when I watch it. He said something about hitting the same marks, lap after lap. When you're on, you're on, and it's the greatest feeling in the world.

 

Huh, you just reminded me of a Doug Brauneck quote as related by Kevin Cameron...Brauneck referred to the Team Dr. John's Pro Twins Moto-Guzzi as, "a place to sit and think about your riding."

THAT is a well set up bike, as opposed to a place to sit and hold on for dear life, or sit and ride around set-up problems, etc., etc...

 

I know you've all heard this one at some point:

"The trick to making a million dollars in racing is to start with two million."
