I wonder if Nicky Hayden feels that way

wasnt aware of that episode. Actually read an independant journalist review of the cube yesterday that made me kind of sad they never produced their triple. guy said it was smooth as silk up to 10000 and then went completely banannas. Also said the reversed crank made the bike corner harder the more throttle you fed in. Thing sounded like a blast

That's what I was thinking. If you want to throw Hayden into it he SHOULD be up there with Stoner

I'm glad surgery went well. I hope he recovers enough that it won't come into play and the championship is won or lost ON the track. What's funny - why was there no love lost for Ducati last year? I'm ever more convinced the only role the bike plays is whether it runs or stays together or not. But, the RIDER wins the championship.

Example - if Rossi would have had a running bike with tires that stayed together would Hayden have won the championship?

Example - if Spies would have had a running bike would Haga being in or out be an issue?

i dunno about that one zoom, theres so many engine styles and power deliveries out there you really cant say its all rider. Hell, if that were the case wouldnt corser be further up?

He first needs a bike that runs.... I'd post more about that, but can't. Sorry.
