Rossi and Ago do the TT

Bazillion-times MotoGP world champeen Valentino Rossi and the legendary Giacomo Agostini were invited to do a few parade laps of the Isle of Mann TT circuit. Rossi rode a stock R1 with some pretty stickers, while Ago was on an MV Agusta. I use the term 'parade lap' very loosely...although the pair weren't up to the race pace of the TT regulars, Rossi and Ago were, by no means, fucking around. Wheelies, darkies, and knee-down antics ensued. Search that popular online video site for evidence...it rhymes with 'new lube'.


According to #46; “The lap is great and impressed me a lot because I know that it's dangerous and also fast. I don't expect a road like this to be a track and it is unbelievable to be going flat out around it on a Superbike. You need to have two great balls! For the first lap it's impossible to push for the first lap. I want to come and make five or six laps to understand it better.”

I'd love to see video of Rossi at 9/10 effort on the TT course--not enough to kill himself, but fast enough to see if he handles things differently.

Also curious if anyone has any interest in the TTXGP next weekend, the zero carbon race. The MotoCzysz entry seems pretty cool, and there are other American entries like Brammo and KillaCycle. There be others as well, but I'm busy with work.

As a tech geek and long-time Oregon resident, I'm pulling for Brammo--as a mech/tech geek and long-term Oregon resident, I'm pulling for MotoCzysz. Looks today from the TTXGP site as though neither are in the running. Conflicting news from other sites as well.

Check Youtube...err, "new lube," for info on the MotoCzysz E1, or whatever they call it--sounds evil.

...on preview, doesn't look like the link worked--just Google TTXGP

Batteries should be used to start a fuel powered motor that's about it...

Great profile! That said, I'm not down for sucking Arab cock or raping America's remaining wildlife for fuel.

I think Americans are still ahead of everyone when it comes to education and innovation.
