Re: Rossi going back to Yamaha

Well, how good was Casey Stoner ! I am surprised at the move, to me it seems as tho, he has thrown his hands in the air and said "I give Up" I haven't heard if Jeremy is going to Yamaha with him ? I hope Casey gets the respect he deserves for giving Ducati a Championship, no one else has b...

:ride: I'm a newbie, but am loving my raptor 1000. so good to have the power with the low seat height. my other bike is a zephyr 750, so there is quite a difference. always loved the ducati monster, but it's great to have the jap motor, with similar looks. i do need to do something with the forks, t...
