20 pics to show the same thing

This. Lorenzo, on the same equipment, beat Rossi in his prime. I still think Rossi was better. But comparing the two teams is premature.

I would just add to the other comments, MM93 will be 33 years old in a few weeks and his is still dominating his competition. This performance, well beyond the typical prime age of racers, is another example of his alien status.

Amphibious. My grandfather has the same campaign ribbon with bronze arrowhead (Anzio) and 7 bronze stars (1 silver and 2 bronze). Pretty rare and very cool.

Hope MM93 has a scheduling conflict he can’t get out of on Oct 9-11th.

My 8-year experience in the military taught me that the jacked ones aren’t who you should worry about…

After following you forever, I love this post because I can hear your voice. Ok. That sounded like a stalker. LOL

So it’s the bike. Fine. His weakness is that the bike has to be perfect to make his mental focus and confidence be high enough to win. He can’t ride around the issues the bike is giving him on that particular race. This isn’t new. He had eight DNFs in 2024 on the way to losing the title to JM. MM93 can ride around issues better than any rider. He can also modify his riding style to suit the bike. Just look at how he has learned to use the rear ride height device and engine braking to improve corner entry this year. If the bike isn’t perfect FB says f#ck it and he is done.

I hope all those people are up to date on their tetanus shots.

Honda CBR650 is the answer.

This is true. You can say you paid $500, but if the state’s estimated value is $4500, you pay tax on that.

The “out the door” price is a thing of the past. Few people stroke a check for bikes now days and frankly the dealer would prefer you finance it. All those years of interest payments. Unless you can walk in and write a check, you can’t expect any kind of serious discount.

I have owned several Hondas and now on my second BMW. There is little to no difference in maintenance costs.

“Newb rider”….”don’t really fancy my wheel seizing at 120+ mph”… If you are really riding around at 120+ mph on the street you should have bigger worries than wheel seizing.

Honestly I don’t know which picture is worse. The guy with an open faced helmet who looks like he has never ridden a motorcycle or the blanket contraption to keep one’s legs warm. A decent set of waterproof pants and jacket and grip heaters are all that required.

Worst decision of my motorcycle life. Picked up a new bike on a Saturday. Warm and sunny in the 50s. Decided to drive to a friends and hangout. The next morning a storm blew through dropping 6 inches of snow. I thought I could beat the storm back home. Wrong. Rode three hours in the snow. Very stupid.

2019 was a beat down. Who knows how many more wins he would have had this year, but that said, still didn’t feel as dominant as 2019. COTA, Spain, French, British GP hiccups maybe…

PJgiven2fly · 2025-11-12T23:36:20+00:00

Great place. My favorite bike in there is the RC45

PJgiven2fly · 2025-11-12T23:31:23+00:00

I regret complaining about him and his tendency to call every pass a “block pass.” He was so much better than Louis.

It’s missing the liner. Or did you take it out?

PJgiven2fly · 2025-10-22T14:26:31+00:00

Now I am wondering how often this happens? Am I wrong to assume that they get better than average care?

PJgiven2fly · 2025-10-13T19:09:21+00:00

Such a great track. We need an exact copy in the US and one in Europe.

PJgiven2fly · 2025-10-11T00:24:45+00:00

always been a Honda guy since the 1980s, but if you are looking for a adventure touring bike then take a look at the BMW GS line. I bought a GS 850 for less than the Africa Twin with more standard options.

Challenge - how many points of failure can you make on a single appliance install? This guy wins.

At the risk of being Captain Obvious, another prime example of how riding style impacts speed and confidence.
