Default Hollywood Motogp

I didnt make it there but some of the crew did...





This was Hopper who pulled up with a nice Rizla GSXR. He did the major burnout. Note the rubber chunks on the back fender.
















The scene. Mamola riding Sete's girlfriend - the hot Spanish model. And yes, he got a mean burnie, a wheelie and a stoppie.



Another Randy. That bike was really loud.(note the treaded tires?)

I think its the fact that riders from outside of US are looked at as gods in their home countries. The Japanese already think they are gods gift because their engineering puts their bikes always on top. The Italians have motorsports in their blood so any GP rider is an instant celeb.

Due to lack of GP venues and coverage in the US for the past 11 years Nicky just doesn't get the love that the other riders do from his home crowd (though people are starting to come around). Even among the hardcore GP fans there are still a lot of doubters and haters, who say he's a Laguna specialist, blah blah blah. The bottom line is this year he has rode incredible on tracks his opponents grew up through the ranks of 125 & 250cc's.

Pedrosa isn't mad he's just wondering when he's going to hit puberty..

Rain tires. They heat up faster and are the only things that would provide any grip riding down a city street.
