MOTO GP

From Mugello in Italy. Valentino Rossi, a living legend in the sport (SEVEN time world champion - he's only 26), is going for his seventh straight win at his home circuit. And if he does that'll see him leading the championship.
Hehe. He's got a new helmet too - a picture of his grinning face we can see when his head is on the tank, which is all the time in a bike race.

The grid's clearing; warm up lap to come then they're off...

It's all about the helmet? Sorry, couldn't resist. Wish I'd known it was on, would have cheered him on. What was the result?

LOL - should be thankful you never included the word 'purple' hoho!

But it is a great pic of his manic face grinnin' ear to ear.

Aw KB - y'shoulda seen it. A sublime display from the master. Not even the trace of an error. Hit the right spot to the inch every turn every lap.
This...is why he's the undisputed king!
I'll say again, if it wasn't a prerequisite for racin', I'd give my nads to do it!
I'll just have to make do with my dirt bike which will be on the road soon hopefully (plus with a set of supermoto wheels - road tyres for gettin' it sideways woohoo!)

Hurry up and get it on the road.

Saturday week, my mechanic's comin' to look at it so...maybe a few months after (or sooner even, hopefully).

I may not look like much in the flesh, but by fuck, I define cool on a bike. And I'm an expert. Woohooo!
