Breaking News...

Motoman,
Maybe you are pointing something that no one suspected all along! McGrath has been drinking! Way too much "Bud Light all week could make anybody ride like that one the weekends! Maybe his mechanics too!

Boy, I feel better just knowing why he's riding poorly.

;)

It's a damn insult, in my opinion, that they haven't offered LaRocco a factory ride. As good as he is, if I was him, I'd refuse to ride any of their bikes (like I do ).

LaRacco is a Factory Honda Rider. He was offered the Honda Factory Rig and declined. He gets ALL the factory parts just like the other riders, just has his "OWN" rig.
Regards

When you attend a supercross event you get a more realistic look at bikes and rider styles along with desire and determination. Tough sections and jumps seem almost effortless for the top guys while you worry about the
others surviving. I saw RC hit short and flat on a triple this weekend but
his bike ate it up no problem. I admire RC for this tenacious desire and all out effort even when banged up, as opposed to a couple of big buck guys I saw
out on a trail ride in San Diego. Anyone who counts out RC for the championship will be in for a big surprise.

Also, Ping will win at least one round.

Yes, JP, all that and Ping's sphincter tone still has not normalized after the 22nd to 2nd place Bubba onslaught going on behind him as he dribbled across the finish just in the nick of time.

Word has it that an open fecal extraction was required to prevent bowel perforation....:eek:

But I love Ping. I just wish he'd quit acting like a Jackass & admit that Bubba's the next best thing since sliced Dunlops. If he had half the humility Pastrana did, he'd be a lot better. He's God-Awful fast, and I respect the hell out of him for doing what he's done so far (more than I ever thought he had in him), but Bubba's better. He knows it.

Fecal impaction SUCKS, but treating fecal impaction sucks worse than actually having it. :eek:

According to the announcers, Ping matched Bubba's lap times at the end. It's a moot point, cuz the writing's on the wall. It's nice to see Ping pull one outta his ass, though.

Bubba is baaaad, but Ping won cuz he didn't crash. I'm sure he'll take a win anyway he can get it. Hell, I'll bet he's even HAPPY about it.
