98Z5V Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Any of you guys watch Moto GP? This guy has been an asshead for years now. The latest - he had contact with another racer, and they both went off the track - no injuries, nobody went down, no damage to bikes. SO... they get back out on the course, and Fenati grabs the other guy's front brake lever... while they're going 130... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) I saw this as well. He screwed himself and deserves to be banned for that. There's no excuse for doing something that dangerous. Edited September 11, 2018 by Armed Eye Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Suspended 2 races....but after it went viral ill bet they revisit that punishment. No way they can let that fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) His team dropped his ass, too. He lost his sponsor. I hope the rest of the people treat him like Kaepernick, and don't pick him up. He has a history of being a complete dick in the race circuit.

Armed Eye Doc Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 The manager of the team he is supposed to ride for next year said this. Regarding his contract for a future position as rider of MV Agusta Moto 2 , I will oppose myself in every way to stop it . It won’t happen , he doesn’t represent our company true values Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Good. I hope everyone drops him. He deserves about what this fuckhead got... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Saw that, makes me think of max biggio seems like somthing he’d do. 98 you ever seen fast or faster? Both gp docs super good Partied with some of those moto 2 guys in China. One guy Stevie Bonsey took a hell of a flight flat track racing this spring, he’s the dude that gets ejected https://gifs.com/gif/6R4loQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) I am old skool on Moto GP. It was 500cc 2-strokes. Those things fucked riders up. You couldn't control them. You only hoped to contain them. Like me. This vid rocks it. It's well worth watching. I grew up on dirtbikes (2-stroke, of course), but I always watched Moto GP - those guys were badass... My first - and last - crotch rocket was a 1987 Kawasaki Ninja 600RX. I didn't even know what I bought, until I totaled it. It was a limited edition, built on the aluminum GPZ400 race frame, and they only made 1k of them. I fucked that bike up, by hitting a groundhog. That began my intense hatred for wildlife... and I was lucky to live through it. You think I hate beavers... I hate groundhogs worse...

Matt.Cross Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 What a Class A moron. He needs to be conditioned for a permanent full-body cast, so he can spend the rest of his vegetable life thinking about how he survived the dangers of motorcycle racing only to be ruined by his own misconduct. What a piece of crap out excuse for a human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Here's a "HIGHLIGHT REEL" of that long video I posted above... My dirtbike roots, and the Moto GP 500cc 2-strokes, is why I always lusted after a Honda CR500... That might explain my sickess a little... I've got size 11 MX boots. Gauge your feet, men. If any of you can put that boot on - and start it - then you can ride it. If your feet are smaller, you might be okay. If your feet are bigger - I wouldn't suggest trying to start this thing without a boot... Edited September 11, 2018 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzukiray Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 The best GP bike racing was when Schwantz, Rainey and Lawson were all racing each other!! The best racing I've ever seen. Just sucked when Rainey got hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neighbor was into 2 stokes and had a couple Kawasaki H1s and H2 he'd restored... loved when he tore up the street, not so sure all the neighbors felt the same. Growing up with horses I share your hate of groundhogs but the Canadian feels differently about the beaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 98 still hasn’t forgiven that beaver who tried to take his salmon. There’s a couple of beavers that I haven’t forgiven, but that’s another story not for a “family friendly” forum such as this.? And why don’t we have a Beaver Emioj?I had to use a Silverback instead!

edgecrusher Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Mad Max! That was who I trying to think of! My bike now is fucking retarded. No joke. I’ve been on two wheels on the road for 20 years on various bikes, always owning a rocket, and the SKRR is just amazing in its power. I’m eagerly waiting to see what the ‘19 or ‘20 big gen 4 brings to the table. Rumor has it 200 plus hp with no mods. I’m at 212 at the rear wheel now.... what a starting point!

In reality, the factories use crank horsepower in their numbers. There's a 17% parasitic loss through the drive-chain system (best there is), so 212 to the tires is FUCKING IMPRESSIVE, brother, big time, for a flash and a tune... To compare that to crank horsepower, you'd be 212 WHP + 17% (which is 36.04hp) = 248.04 hp at the crank. I can't remember it's it was '15 or '16,but the Yamaha R1M is a bad bastard. This one, 2015.
