MotoGrandPrix-Japan 2019

[Busy Little Shop]

I want to hear Honda tell MM it’s the bike, not the rider.:laughing

For HRC engineers it's the bike... for the MotoGp team manager its ram rodding the engineers and hiring a winning rider... for the CEO its funding and what venue...

The race was not great. Results kind of anticipated.

Still. Fun.

Márquez in race mode rides like raging vengeance. I expect Quartararo to be on the podium in Australia and Malaysia and to notch his first win in Valencia.

MM helmet is pretty amazing.

Raging vengeance?

As in running other riders off the track?

Seems appropriate.

we'll always have Moto3, I guess ... arty

congrats to Mr Dalle Porta and Honda ... :gsxrgrl

at least the rest of the Moto3 podium was orange ... go KTM! :ride

It is rare that Moto3 does not deliver great racing.

Bin or Win Binder is a hoot to watch. arty

Check the haft of the katana for the sneaky little "SHOEI."
That helmet is probably worth more than my bike.

Not only that, but a quick glance at the spider can look a lot like a Yamaha tuning fork... foreshadowing...:afm199

I thought that too. :laughing

I was talking more about how they actually do that. Like a vinyl wrap would be my assumption but that is pretty round.

It's an ant. Spiders have 8 legs.

True. I get an F in bugs for today. My quick glances need help.

I think most of those helmets are custom painted. Takes a lot of talent.
