You didn't think spies was talented. Obviously you didn't see him as a temp kick his teamates' ass at the Indy moto GP weekend. The weather was an equalizer, but the regulars on the same equipment were waaay behind...

I can't wait for next year. The only thing I don't like about him was the disrespect he paid to Mladdin. I don't even know what it was, just something Mladdin eluded to in an interview before the last race of the season...

Anybody know what that was???

And if he disrepected a champion like Mladdin, it hurts my image of him. But I'll still root for him... but maybe not as much as Haga....

you're smokin straight crack if you think that boy doesn't have talent.

Laguna, 2007, corkscrew, greatest pass ever made, any of these ring a bell?!?!

 

[D-Zum]

I don't know...I think the greatest pass ever was at Laguna in the corkscrew this year when Rossi over took Stoner. But, that's just my humble opinion.

Spies has definetly got mad skills!To come into the Superbike class get second his first year then 3 championships in a row says it all.He might not like Matt but he learned alot from racing with him.He'll be a front runner this year.He just has to learn the new tracks.BMW must have made Corser a good offer to leave Yamaha and jump on a new bike.I think Jonny Rea will be running up front as well.You know Haga will be up there to.

Jim are those times from Portimao?

yep!

I'm just poking fun at those who don't think he is talented. I think the fact that he is doing it now on Yamaha as well flies in their faces. maybe it wasn't just Suzuki.

 

[Fire929]

I'm still not so sure this guy has any talent....

He only moved up one place on the second day and he wasn't able to break the track record.

Jon be glad you are able to go out and ride around some great tracks.You don't have to be the best to be having a blast.Think about all the people who ride bikes that wouldn't have a clue how to get around a track at any kind of decent pace.

 

[jimgl3]

are we any closer to March?

 

[Rick Johnson]

Jim don't know how far Jennings is from you but you could go soon.I heard lots of people have been going for winter training.

I think Mladin was angry that Ben said Matt's bike was illegal when Matt believed they had identical equipment.
