RE: Rossi's Ranch: Time For Tea?

[RemaL]

Enjoyed that.

[Walter Sobchak]

Come on Rossi, go old school and make Yamaha blow the cobwebs off a YZ250, the way Moto X should be, looks like a fun back garden to have.

Clearly visible on Google as well!

Vale is probably thinking, "Wolverine's accent is really strange off camera"

Great fun that, do you think if I phone him up he'll let me have a go?

[Yazza54]

Anyone else surprised Yamaha actually allow Rossi to do stuff like this? I thought a lot of the riders would have certain activities in their contract they wouldn't be able to do incase of injury during the season

Maybe his contract is rather special!!

Where about are you doing that? I've always wanted to give it a go, even more so after playing around on short track bikes earlier in the year.

harthill £70 for two and a half hours intro. bikes, gear and eh everything included. dunno how good it will be but when you think it's £50 for an hour or so of go karting seems a steal

I guess the quarry 2 fields away has something to do with how he gets away with building that then. (possibly landfill or something else, but a big commercial hole in the ground never the less).

Think some of you may be a bit starstruck.

That film was crap.

You say that but he's still run into noise related complaint trouble from a nearby village if I remember rightly.

I think it's deemed as a safe way to train compared to MotoX. The riders claim that they need to do it for training purposes (and KR Snr and more recently Hayden and Stoner coming from dirt-track/flat track racing certainly supports the argument), so I don't think the manufacturers have many complaints. At the end of the day you could hurt yourself on a push bike without trying too hard and loads of them love to cycle.

I might have to book onto one of these now...

That track and surface is crying out for some proper manly Flat-Trackers though

Joking aside, I do love Rossi's enthusiasm for almost anything bike related

He makes a valid point. My silk nickers were wet just reading the name 'Rossi" in the thread title

Yes, I should think they probably were
It's just a bit of fun showing what a biking fan he is. Don't wish to get drawn into 'another' faboi thing.

Rossi was watching when Kenny Roberts rode the TZ750 at the Indy Mile in 2009.

I wonder if Yamaha have a spare YZF-M1 engine?

I think they're gonna need a bigger track.

Quite agree
