I agree....though I think if you put Rossi and Stoner on the same Duke he'd come out second best.  It seems 'lately' only Stoner has been able to ride one right....and before that me old mate Bayliss ....;)

Hahaha.  Maybe I'll make a mod to do that.  I still want to make one that's all cartoony like the Jetsons.    Lego might be pretty entertaining as well...  Ship or starbase blows up, lego blocks fly everywhere.  Where's Sinperium when another mod needs to be made?  =D

My favourite photo of Vale.......... check out the lean angle...... elbows down!!

"Racing: Where the Ulna Meets the Road."    Helluva photo, Bry.

I agree, i just don't like dominance in a sport. '06 was great when Hayden took it to Val, makes for a better spectacle. I'd much prefer to watch a "race" then a fight to see who gets second. Same goes for Stoner, being aussie i obviously want him to do well and win, but i don't want him to win everything in sight with ease.
Winning a MotoGP race should be the hardest thing you can do on a bike, and Val made it look all too easy.

Hence my joy when he is brought down a notch...i'll feel the same about Stoner if he dominates the next year or two as well!




Capirossi seemed to have his moments, and it seemed Hayden was starting to get his head around it last season, though it may have just loked that way when compared to Val's year.

HAHAHA, As long as Mr Spacely is the Pirates!!!


@Jafo, glad to see i'm not the only Aussie who can't get enough Bill Paxton!!!

Bryan....the caption for that photo...

"I knew it! I was sure I saw brush marks in the paint on the ripple strip..."

  

I've seen McCoy going through turn 12 at PI [onto the main straight]....doing this....while cranked over AND pulling a mono.....;p

I also need new glasses.  Mine are all scratched up and old, like almost 5 years old.  And I see a yellowish tint when I wear them as opposed to without.  I think it's because of the Transitions Lens.  But the Transitions definitely help reduce the brightness of the sun.  Hence, they're like sunglasses.

I guess no matter how well a monitor is calibrated, i'll always see inaccurate yellowish-tinted colors.  

Make sure you don't have a cataract, mate.

Superbikes: Where being totally off your chump provides you with a distinct advantage.

I got mine nearly 2 years ago and am due sometime soon,  I am short sighted in one eye and long sighted in the other..... it all came about when I had a glue coma and cataract  in my right eye... I hate wearing my glasses .... the optometrist I was going too was flooded in the January  floods last year, so it looks like I will be looking for another one  here in Brassall,  I get the prescription glasses but instead  of bi focal I get 1 pair for every day use and 1 pair that's my reading ones but I much prefer the graduating lens myself but they won't do that here in Queensland . I hate the plastic  frames I much prefer  the metal and I can get those free too

 I have had one of those and they are nasty little buggers :'(

I am supposed to wear glasses. I was diagnosed as being short-sighted (I think) when I was twelve. They were only supposed to be for reading and being able to see the blackboard when i was sat at the back of class, etc. My first pair were great, but they broke so I had to get a new pair. The frames I asked for were supposed to be brown, but when they turned up, they were pink. I got no end of grief for them, so I "accidentally" stood on them, and told my mum they got broken during the usual stampede at the end of the school day.

I guess I should get some new ones, but that would involve going into the town centre, and I hate having to do that as much as I hate having to be around people I don't know, like say, an optometrist. Besides, if the people I've known who wear glasses are anything to go off, the glasses didn't make things all that much better, and as time went on they just needed thicker lenses, until they were wearing jam jars.

My partner tells me she'd love to see me in glasses, so I might look into getting some when she comes to visit me. And maybe pink frames wouldn't cause me quite the same issues these days (though purple would be better), lol.

HAHA........ Brilliant!!

Helen: I just buy my glasses in ASDA...... they are only about £7. I have around 10 pairs......lol

I didn't think a Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2 needed glasses...

Are they proper prescription lenses? I had some John Lennon style ones that weren't proper and they made my eyes go all squiffy after an hour, and the headaches... oh the headaches!

Nah, not prescription....... just reading glasses. I've never had a problem with any of them as regards headaches etc........ B[]

Nothing worse than unconscious glue...... JAFOCHECK ....;)

Glaucoma ....;)

 thanks Jafo hehehe, I was wondering who might pick up on the spelling mistake just goes to show I should wear my glasses more often than I do

A rare shot of StarCandy in her pink glasses....... Not surprised you didn't like 'em Helen!!
