    Wow. That was close. Could have gone either way, but I'm glad for him it was the good way.

    Very nicely done. $100.00 worth of elbow armor saves a MotoGP rider and bike....impressive because Colin made it look pretty easy. Yeah, I meant to do that......:madgrin: Mr. Edwards seems to be having a pretty good weekend at Jerez.......

    I heard his elbow is very sore, so you might want to leave him off your top 13 on team manager :eyebrows:

    I was thinking earlier that this little competition is going to lead to some pretty funny MotoGP run-up conversations.....hehe :biggrin:. I'll leave him out of my top thirteen, how many weeks do you think he'll be out? :biggrin: Let the games begin......

    Very very impressive. And for his throttle hand to almost come off and still pull it out, makes it even more so.

    That is awsome. Great saves on both riders. I guess it just shows the skill those guys have.

    Man. That is something. wowza. I am actually thinking about buying Television just to watch the speed channel and see some of these races. Or to get a tivo or something so I can record them since they are on at like 2 AM on a thursday night...

    Those tires must have some rediculous stick to be able to re-grab if the bike is pushed back up ever so slightly.

    Can anyone tell me when/where the next MotoGP even is?

    The next race is 13 April in Portugal. Motogp.com has all the info you're looking for. SPEED channel usually broadcasts the races on Sundays.
