Just pissed that your reason to bash buell was also used by one of the big 4?

After all, they never added weight to the rc51 when it was dominating. Nope, everybody loved it when nickey was kicking ass on it.

The only difference is that buell makes shitty bikes that are beating the Japanese sewing machines. Now, you're all butt hurt about it.

Oh well
Butt hurt? Don't flatter yourself. Honestly, I think it's pathetic at best.

For the record, though, I've never been one to bash Buell. I really like their streetbikes, particularly the Xb12S.

I do, however, think that if Erik wants to go roadracing, he should pull up his big girl panties and race the 1125 where it belongs- Superbike.

Stupid racing series!

Yea but was the RC-51 the OFFICIAL bike of the AMA?

Oh btw I fucking bitched and called every Nicky Hayden ball licking bastard out on it too! The year that NH won the AMA championship, Mlladin had like 2 or 3 DNFs, one from a tire failure I believe. Like I said the only way Nicki Hayden has ever won any championship is for the really talented guys to have a disastrous season and/or for him to have a huge advantage.

He won the Formula Extreme series on a 900 when the other teams were running 750s

He won Superbike with a 1000cc V-twin (WSBK spec bike with approx 5x Yosh Suzuki's budget btw) against 750cc inline 4s, the top man in the field (Mlladin) had a terrible year and he still barely won.

He won a MotoGp championship on the dominant bike when Rossi had one of his worst seasons ever and still would not have won if Rossi hadn't crashed in the last race.

You are the anti-American.

If you were a real American, you would demand that an American sportbike step up and compete on a level playing field instead of making excuses and calling anyone who doesn't support the racing effort anti-American.
