Can't believe how bent out of shape some of you are getting over what was a pure racing incident caused by two giant ego's refusing to submit. F1 hasn't been the same since real men stopped racing, Hunt, Lauda, Jones etc. Stay away from MOTOGP if that minor touch causes heartburn.....because riders rubbing shoulder to shoulder (literally) at 200mph won't do your health any favours.

That sounds like a comment from the 1950's. 'Real men' were portrayed similarly to John's photo above, but with a pipe in hand. You were obviously impressed with Rossi's lucky escape though. Brave riders, but 'real men' c'mon.
I used to have two boys and a girl. Now I have two Men and a Woman. :?

Personally I stopped watching Power Rangers when I was about 9 but if rdgreen still enjoys them who am I to judge :P :rofl:

Never watched power ranges that was for kids. :oops: Moto GP on the other hand is not. :thumbsup: That split second at exactly 2 minutes is just terrifying. Could have killed two riders instantly right there, a fraction earlier or later. Not like the cocooned safely of F1 at all. :o But way safer than riding at the IoM TT. :) Worthy of note who gets paid the most and the least of those three events. :wink:

Yip, Go a little further down the ranking to BSB and I have heard that some of those riders pay the team to let them ride the bike!
