Marquez better in raw talent. Rossi better from a pure racecraft strategy

I wonder how well MM93 would have done on the 500 2 strokes without the electronics and tire tech teams have now

i have to admit, i watched more moto gp with rossi than MM. so i'm a bit biased towards rossi.

Nothing anymore. Finally had to admit I'm retired. But, I've tracked or raced a Triumph 675, GSXR 750, and various SV 650's. The lightweight twin racing was by far my favorite. I won a good bit of races and have multiple regional championships in novice and expert. If I never set foot on a track again I at least have some great memories. Fun times. I did buy another Ktm 200 last year and was planning on hitting a hare scramble or two at some point. Hasn't happened yet. Life just gets in the way of the fun.

Yeah that's a sweet ass bike. If I lived out west I'd probably would have went 250/300. I love the 200 for tighter stuff. I grew up on 2 strokes

I have a 2018 250 TPI. fuel injected 2 stroke makes for a great off road bike

what brand? i'm trying to find a yam/honda 250 stroke but they have all but disappeared on craigslit. this virus shit has made all used stuff hard to find. but for me, i'd be riding at 5000 ft to 10000 ft so FI would be tits.

I was lucky and had dinner with Kenny Roberts Jr when he was World Number 1 and Sete Gibernau.

Also got to have a lunch and an afternoon with Chris Vermeulen. He was a full on normal bloke eh..loves his toys.

i still would rather watch the TT racing from Ireland, Isle of Man, Isle of Wright, etc. for those guys to go that fast on little country roads is mind blowing to me. and the passing of each other is incredible too.

TT racing is awesome! Isle of man is just the next level.

If you look back at last generation of riders (im including Rossi) then a crew chef makes a big difference. Jeremy Burgess was the man to ride for. He made #1's

What gets me is the whole electronics edge that some teams have. Yamaha lost so many years by forging their own path.

Suzuki's hole shot works awesome going by last race. Amazing.

Im just getting back into Motogp after a decade of not really following it. Been a great season to get back into it.
Also back in to bikes after 12 years out of the saddle. Good to be riding again. Not good was spending $1250 on leather and boots today.. haha.
Already have an acquaintance wanting me to buy a ASBK spec Yamaha R3 thats for sale and go club racing...lol. Sport is full of Bad influence aint it?

I stopped riding with my first child, wife would not budge. Now we live in America and I feel like I could ride here safely, not nearly as crowded as Tokyo. But now I’m too old and I’ve gained so much Covid weight, I’m at 103 kilos.
