  2. You'd never hear it because the Japanese are very polite in your face
    but behind rice paper walls they are locked together like one family
    adamant against mixing with other cultures... at least that's what I
    gather from living in Japan for 3 years... I got the feeling they would
    mimic my culture to make me happy...

    Nothing wrong with that so long as they're willing to live with the
    consequences (that goes for folks like Edwards too).

    Yup! I've got big hopes for Laguna Seca next year: Edwards and Rossi
    going 1 and 2 on Yamahas. Wouldn't that be cool?

    You really went to Mugello?
    You lucky so and so, that looked extremely cool.
    It was the best race action of the whole reason i thought, rossi and
    tamada duelling.


    No chance, they will be grinding their teeth, and kicking themselves.

  14. The racing was mind altering in person...

    Nakano's tire blew right in front of us...

    I also got to talk with Mick Doohan...
    http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/MickDohannLarryTony.JPG

    Not to mention hugging a Ducati V4 engine...
    http://www.fox302.com/userdata/netters2/files/ShopPics/DucatiV4Love.JPG

    And gave a big hug to Ducati for making the V4...

    You don't know the Japanese... they may stare into their bowl of noodles
    for a while but that's about the extent of their angst...

    Personally, I would _hate_ living under that water tower. Does anybody
    ever get the urge to wipe that stupid smile off? One way or the other?

    I liken it to a souped up sewing machine. That's OK. I'll take bland.
    My masculinity is secure and I don't need to advertise my presence
    everywhere I go. If I need to make noise, I'll crank up the thrash on
    the Peavey and whack the Strat.

    Well, yeah. Duh.
    Ho-hum. Yeah; not excited enough to build it.

    Yamaha builds a V4 cruiser. Has been building it for years. It hasn't exactly
    set the sales floor on fire.

    But go ahead, if you think a TC176 V4 would be well-received, hacksaw away!

    (There's a guy in England who built a V12 out of a KZ1300, using the stock
    crankcases and two banks of cylinders. Wonder if he ever thought of cutting the
    resulting monstrosity into thirds????)

    Singles, Twins, and Triples. Anything with more cyinders than that ought to be
    powering a car!
