hate watchin ppl high siding in any form of bike racing as they can be very nasty.. only seen one that made me laugh tho..
was in the 125cc races on Phillip Island before the MotoGP event, one of the riders high sided and landed on his bike almost standing after the bike hit the tarmac.. he just looked around to pretty much say WTF!!! then hit the green stuff and came off badly..
Anyone with a remote interest in moto GP should "find a way" to watch Faster (which that clip is taken from as you probably know). Excellent film/documentary about the final days of the 500s, the arrival of the 4 strokes and some great interviews with all of the riders.
Yeah watched it last night 1am local time, thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Great racing some of the moves those guys pull are insane The nerve they must have makes for riveting racing
the kwakar (kawasaki) is a demon in the wet wet/dry scenario but in complete dry its a sack of potatoes, mainly due to top speed / tyre grip.
but for some reason in the wet and wet/dry track, either the bike just loves it... or melandri has big kahoonas (gonads) what ever u wanna call them xD
Can't get to YouTube at work, I'm going to guess that's Raffaele de Rosa's near crash though, and it was awesome. I love how he just shakes his head in disbelief when he gets back on the bike, I think he's going to need to change his pants though.
Rossi has confirmed he'll be racing in the special superkart race o the thursday before the US GP at Laguna. They lap around 2 seconds slower than the MotoGP bikes. Wish i was there to watch
