Post by: keeptwostrokesalive on July 20, 2011, 11:07:17 AM: I cant believe just how quiet this bike is. Even when he has that thing WFO I can barely hear the bike.

Wow...now I see why Rhyno was so pissed after the race. I noticed that LaPaglia dove in on that guy (cr500) twice like he wasn't even there. Bad behavior even for racing...

These guys are young and want to get the position. If you leave the door open you should expect that. I've been ran off the track more than once. Even by friends. Was I mad? No, it's racing. The guy who made the video even said "I left the door a little open and lapaglia was sure to take advantage. a little agressive, we hit pretty hard, but thats racing and he actually apologized to me at? the award ceremony."

We all have our opinions and I am fine with yours but if a racer has to apologize he obviously thought that he did something wrong right?

I only race the beginner classes so i dont have the experience at that level but their was no agressive slamming like that. I plan to move to the novice classes but if its full of folks like that (which i havent really seen or just didnt really notice) I would probably just stick to the reg. track days. Getting to old at 31 lol..

Can turn inside, brake harder, get on the gas quicker -- with maybe block pass or handlebar bumping at times but doesn't need to toss competitors off the track. There are fast folks out there that ride like this yes? Rider 2 doesn't *quite* ride as fast (or maybe he does?) but takes almost every opportunity to push riders off the track. Why not? It makes sure that competitor will not be breathing down his neck for the next lap or so -- and is "accepted".

Would you respect the talent more of rider 1 or rider 2 after the race?

I know how I would vote. Yes, it is racing but that stuff is not necessary if you really are fast. I for one would be mortified if I pushed/bumped someone into a crash situation and they were seriously injured because of it. Just another point of view and more to think about...

Well put. ;D
There is a diference between racing hard and fair and being a prick. (In any form of motorsport.)
