    Sweatypants I am so smart! S-M-R-T... I mean S-M-A-R-T!

    dudes in WSBK are mad hungry, and he would come in there with his crybaby bitch shit thinking it was retirement and get smoked there too and then go sulk. like Captain Planet without the little Mexican kid...


    no heart.

    It's Jim Carrey from
    Me myself and Irene.
    He found the cow laying in the road and was attempting to put it out of it's misery.
    He had emptied his pistol in it, but it wouldn't die.
    Funny ass movie if you've never seen it!

    I bet Ape is reducing their offer price as we speak.

    I think Mav's only shot at a long successful career is if Aleix is terrible and the Ape is already ready to run at the front. Otherwise their low budget and slow development are going to get to him and he'll retire, probably in the middle of some season after a meltdown.

    Anyone read Mav's Aprilla deal? Maybe there were incentive clauses for this season ;)

    Chill, Winston - just give Mav’ a call and go bounce some bikes off their red limiters to blow off that steam.

  7. I have never liked Jim Carrey. It's like he is way too animated trying way too hard to be funny, and he just comes off stupid (to me). Ive only liked 1-2 of his movies, and those were movies where he was playing a normal/serious type role.

    he says of himself that Jim Carrey is also just one of his roles

    Spend more time around cattle and you’ll have no problem punching one.

    Quicktoy Is it Winter yet?

    Yep. Full confirmation. Yawn. Don’t care. Lol

    Agreed - seems like that signing is just slowing down the inevitable train wreck.

    Next question is, will he ride a Yamaha again?

    My guess is Yamaha will focus on tryouts.

    BHP41 Calling out B.A.N. everyday

    He’s one of the fastest riders out there right now. It would be good for Yamaha to hold his feet to the fire on the contract and not let him ride for anyone else; at the same time sidelining his ass for rest of the season.

    Right now, he needs to rehab his image. He will be fast as hell. Who is available out there would bring more constructors points to Yamaha during the remaining races? If they are smart, he will be at Silverstone. Just put a muzzle on him for the rest of the season and hit his ass with the door after Valencia.

    Was listening to a podcast this morning that made some good points regarding development for next year. Probably don't want to risk backslides or failures with new parts on your championship leader's bike but do you really want Mav testing out parts for next year given he is leaving and he tried to sabotage your equipment? I'll add it doesn't seem that the relationship with SRT is there to have either of their riders test new parts but given one is on a 2 year old bike and the other is an uncompetitive pensioner, I'm not sure that would be practical even if that relationship was better.

    Sorry about the confusion, the post-season test had not even crossed my mind. I was talking about the final race at Valencia. The minute he can no longer provide constructor's points, they have no use for him.
