Gained some new respect for the current world champ!!
World Champion on my 150R - Supermoto Junkie
Do you think we'll ever see Bayliss, Stoner or Corser down at south Merang?? Didn't think so either!

That was a joke at the expense of Honda riders.
Cant even get the blokes from Melbourne to TT anyway :roll:

No-one that attends TT since Nick and Violet went back to Greece anyway mate.
Off the top of the head,
Theres Tom of course who was here at the start with the 400,
now the 650.
Antti with his XR Big.
Sam my mate from Eldorado,
Bob (kingralph) with his 650 L.
There is no doubt a heap more as well as CRF's set up for competition too.

Hey, how cool is that 8) 8) 8)
He's a great bloke is Nicky, he's just not quite up to Rossi's standards, but he is doing a huge amount of good PR for motorcycling all over the world.

Maybe I should take the tongue from outta the cheek.
IMO he is the most approachable as these pictures show.
Also not above riding a CRF150 for the fun of it, and for that alone coupled to being GP World Champ at the same time is gold...

He's still relatively young in many ways Mato,
He will mature eventually and has certainly done so as a rider through the years to get to the point he is now.
IMO he should stay in Supermoto Racing/Dirt Track and dominate the scene there.
Rather than branch into the full tarmac deal that is MotoGP and be 'non reliable' as such.
If you at all doubt the fellas ability watch the Team Scream short video with him and Mike Metzger and Max Biaggi.
It will reassure you although he has a gob on him like all septics,
He does have a certain 'feel' for the machine all the same ;)
Should we start another knee out vs foot down argument here?
Anyone want to say they could go faster than him around that corner with their foot down? (Stay out of it Shane, we all know you could)
couldn't be bothered tom, i would of been stoked if nicky rocked up. Regardless of how nicky won the title he still did. that s what it took to win the title that year and he did it
Nicky won the title by getting more points than anyone else last year - Makes him a worthy world champion in my book. So what if Rossi had mechanical failures - Who can remember when perennial runner-up Randy Mamola lost the title due to mechanical failure?
Just like most people here, he loves to ride but he's lucky and talented enough to get paid to do it. Both him and his family (Siblings and parents) have worked very hard to get the level of success and I reckon they deserve it.
Ther's some great pictures of him racing with Vision Hayes who is sponsored by John Hopkins, that kid is going to be world champ one day!
i would love to see some hayden family footage of them racin dirt track

i dont know about that but i watched a video of at national dirt track race and Ryan Brown a mate over here that races in our supermoto championship gave both him and his brother a spanking , Rayn pole , Tomy second Nicky 5th on the grid and Ryan just fucked off and showed tham both the wy around 8) 8) 8) 8) .
funny thing was Ryan had never said anything before only like, oh i done a little bit of dirt track back home :shock: :shock: :shock: sneaky bastard :D :D
