Guy Martin rocks.

IMO the 3 coolest dude's to ride a motorcycle:
Peter Fonda as Captain America in Easy Rider :thumbup:
Steve McQueen for just being Steve McQueen :thumbup:
and
Guy Martin - he rides like he talks :thumbup:

Just watched the Simo tribute live on Moto GP site....cant ever remember such a huge outpouring of sympathy by the racing fraternity before....bikes that is...

Very much like it was when Senna died...

Kevin Schwantz was an awesome choice to lead the parade lap...

Rossi's helmet is pretty cool too.

Yep I cried yet again.

Hopefully we don't have any more tragedies like this one again.

Next year it will be better.

Everyone can start healing now and get on with their lives.

I think the ceremony at the track, would of helped a lot of people get some sort of closure....

It is racing, it is faaaaarking dangerous, they all know it, now, they must get on with the business of getting on with it....

Next year should be a good year....but i dont reckon the claiming bikes will last long...just looks to be way too messy, and uncompetitive....factory riders will hate it, mobile chicanes everywhere!

Bloody hell, makes your blood run cold. I reckon it was a case of him wanting to be a hero or a bit of Münchhausen by proxy. Sadly the UK has also had three cases similar to this.
Makes me feel sick.

So sad that this is the world we live in :shakehead: :(.... I really struggle to come to terms with what makes some people tick...

How does the brain somehow become so 'short circuited' :confused:
