Just sitting here watching a bunch of absolute lunatic teenagers riding 125`s around silverstone in the rain. I just wish I was that flexible but I`m glad that I`m only as mad as my own personal box of frogs and not theirs. Cool Cool Cool Cool

To quote Danny Kent (125cc moto GP rider), he wasn't gonna give 100%, nor 110%, but (wait for it) 120%.

So that'll be less than the guys who were gonna give 130% then......

So what next, 200%, or maybe 1000%, or infinite% or infinite to the power infinite% ................ maybe I'll get me coat.......

Hey Cabbie, what about Edwards then??? under the knife last weekend with broken collar bone and then a podium on the GP !!! and riding without painkillers too - wow  Shocked

I found the lean angle and the amount of braking that could be done amazing.......

Love watching the bike racing.

All Classes are full of loonies!

Have to say however that Jenson Button was mighty impressive today in the Canadian F1 Grand Prix. The most bonkers race I've seen in a long while!  Grin

Got bored with waiting for the restart - and expecting another 4 laps behind the safety car, so we switched channels.  Good for Jensen though.

Hey Cabbie, what about Edwards then??? under the knife last weekend with broken collar bone and then a podium on the GP !!! and riding without painkillers too - wow  Shocked

found this..........

 
 
 
This
comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs.
experience

 
Here
is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical
logic. It also made me Laugh Out
Loud.   

This
is a strictly mathematical viewpoint....it goes like
this:


What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever
wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We
have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over
100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?


Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer
these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T
U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:


H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%


and



K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%


But,


A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%


And,


B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T

2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing
will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G

1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with
 
 
mathematical
certainty, that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and
Attitude
will get you there, it's the
Bulls**t
and
Ass Kissing
that will put you over the top..

Just to remind Moto GP watchers that Assen's race is on SATURDAY 25th, as in 'not Sunday', and Crutchlow is reported as being OK to race with his meccano collar bone.  Wink

Watching live Moto GP qualifying during my lunch break on the web as the ' TV ' isn't showing it...... (glad I payed my licence fee)

Quote from Steve Parrish : "... it will be infinitely very very difficult...."  guessing it'll be a bit of a challenge then  Grin s'pose its a lot easier than simply 'infinitely difficult'.
