Hayden to race at Suzuka

Go Nicky!

 

Go Nick.....hopefully his throttle does get stuck like Stoner's did last year. Sheesh!

 

Seems like he's done Suzuka before but I'm not sure.

 

I dont think he did...i think Honda stopped sending their top level riders after the Rossi/Edwards team in 2001.

 

I think he did about 13 years ago. I'm looking forward to this! I wonder if they can take the fight to Yamaha this year!

 

After more research, he did in 2003. Crashed out on the second lap due to oil on the track though.

Cool! Hope he does well

 

ftfy

 

That crash was scary.

 

I was wrong...

 

Didn't he ride with Seven Stars? I seem to remember pictures of him, the bike and corn rows on the crash truck.

 

.....

 

I hate to root for Honder in anything especially the 8 hours . . .

 

I love that helmet graphic from way back when.

 

wonder if Honda will roll out the new bike?

 

Turncoat.

 

I'm going to root for Honder and Yamaha leaving kawasaki and Suzuki to race for the win.

 

Let's not forget PJ will be there too.

 

You being a walking double-negative, I'm not sure I know how to take this... If you root for Honda and Yamaha, they're sure to lose, but then you just stated that Kawasaki and Suzuki will race for the win... Did you just make everyone lose?
