Default Would you let your fav racer on your bike??..

Ok, I'm bored so work with me..

If you had the chance to let one of these guys flog your track ride on your favorite track,(that you've ridden) no holds barred, would you do it?

Here's the rub.. They will not cover any damage caused to your bike if such accident does occur.

I'd love to see it but I couldn't let them. So.. Nope.

Yeah, maybe not for a full 25 laps, but a couple laps, sure. Just to compare my times to their's on the same bike. Would give me a GREAT reference point to see where I need to improve.

i agree w/firefighter. rossi had the same bike i have. i'd let him do a full race. i'd trust it more in his hands than mine. it's not like he's intentionally gonna throw himself down either. if i went full bore i'd have a 20x greater chance than him eating it.

Rossi can jump on my track bike anytime he wants and if he bins it up, I want his signature on it!

No way in hell. Only me. I admire them but I'll take my chances. They crash every once in a while, and with my luck it would be on my bike.

Got a little man-crush on Nicky I see. Sounds a little gay. It's cool whatever floats your boat.

so maybe i do, so what? j/k. i'm confident in my sexuality. there's too many americans here who playa hate nicky. i'm just trying to stand up for the guy. and i've been brainwashed a bit. a previous girlfriend of mine was infatuated w/him. she convinced me he was cooler than the bostrom bros. btw, riding a gp bike would float my boat.
