Me neither unfortunatly.

I dont think anyone has unfortunatly to me its one less option in an already small choice of riders that can score good points.

Best choice really why risk long term damage when retiring, so championship 2 horse race.

Im pretty sure i will decide to go and next year i will take the bike, might even decide to have a rideout with a certain few

Well good luck with it as you can see there not that scary really!

The ultimate humiliation

I looked ahead for the rest of the season and couldn't make the changes I wanted later on with what I had so I had to change which worked out well because I had Crutchlow originally. Yeh i know you did, i also nearly changed to lorenzo pedrosa combo. just to help ian out with battle of telford homes, nicky out this weekend too.

Difference between sucess and failure is so small they all only perform on good equipment Stoner won his championship on the duke when they went to 800 and ducati caught the japs out it was a steady decline form then on as i sort of said previuos, stoner knew the game was up and jumped ship to honda, im pretty sure even the mighty stoner couldnt win on this ducati, yes i think he would do bettter but not significantly. However it would have been nice to see him, pedders, lorenzo and rossi battleing next year unfortunatly hes decided to go fishing instead.

Good luck to vale he will need it to beat lorenzo personally its a tall order imo and the move could do yet more harm to his rep because he won't be able to blame the bike. As for whose the best well you can't compare eras and tho still around rossi is of yesteryear and in this present era he is bested by lorenzo and stoner its a real shame stoner is retiring.

Baggy pulled a late chamge to his team which paid off this week can't believe I'm still in the lead! Big weekend next week all 3 classes

As i dont know what there made of but as someone suggested drilling could you drill and tap it then loctite a bolt in it and maybe get it out that way obviously just a suggestion as i really have no clue about these things as proffesionals only do my bike!

So they actually showed all the qually then, what do you think others who don't like bikes were saying when it ran over? I watched it on eurosport as soon as session finished off, I seem to have bbc'd myself

Mines the e45 n possibly same as one you have got, I also got the sport rack rather than the plate but on my bike you have to cut sections out of tail piece after removing it so no way was I going to try to fit it.

Oh it can

Seems ok to me I think mine all in was over £200

Exactly. I wouldn't write Rossi off totally, but give both riders equal machines & my money would be on Stoner every time as he is the better rider. Rossi reminds me of Alan Prost, good with good equipment. Stoner of Aryton Senna i.e. making poor machinery competitive due to his overall ability. In your opinion, personally there of different eras tbh how many 500 titles did stoner win, could he have won any who knows they are all exceptional, if lorenzo beats stoner this year with stoner on the honda would that make him the best? I still think rossi should have stayed on the duc and see what audi could have offered...

Done exactly the same was gonna change mine last night but didn't fit with future plans hopefully.

Ezpeleta seemed to know a week after stoner announced his retirement

I think he peaked a while back he's been dissapointing recently.

I think and hope lorenzo kicks his ass!

So as you say its s totally different bike to the one stoner rode, I'm not taking anything away from stoner but you can't compare the 2 machines, when stoner won his title there was even a tyre war on and yhe bridgestones were made for the ducati, as I said once the japs caught up ducati was doomed, expecting them to build an ally framed bike like the japs have been doing for years and for it to win with no real updates is imo rediculous. Stoner did win on the previous incarnation but he crashed it a lot as well showing it was already flawed.

According to jb there wernt many alterations, you also cant compare ducati caught the japs out but once they caught up ducati stood no chance. Imo if this is anything to do with ezpeleta then his legend status becomes tainted somewhat, still dont think with stoner retiring anyone will see which way lorenzo went!

When I got the blade first thing I did was remove tool kit and use the space for the disc lock. My bike goes wrong it gets sorted by a proffesional, I am not, never will be and have no intention of being, breakdown is cheap incase of emergencies, if people want to fiddle that's upto them or buy a more reliable bike
