How does the rear tire fall off? see it at 2:04.
Awesome race today. Those twins are pretty strong but Yamaha does it again.

Always and forever will be a Kawasaki rider.
Single sided swingarm, the wheel failed, the hub stayed on the bike and the outer rim came off.

You begin your riding career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

Not knowing about this thread, I just put a big picture of the incident in the pictures section. God would I love to see the rider's eyes, I wish he had a clear visor!

Yeah, too funny re: the slap. It lit a fire under Melandri's ass though didn't it?
Yeah it did! Glad to see Maxi Pad suck the whole weekend.

Sounds like Biaggi was just off and in a foul mood all weekend.
I hadn't heard about the sissy fight until now but I got a couple of chuckles out of this article.
