3M_chix should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Anyone has any encounters with the riders? Please share...

Just curious.

Has any of you met up with any of the riders (Rossi, Roberts, Biaggi, etc..)? Where? When? What was the experience like?

I really wanted the chance to meet up with them in person. We don't have a race track here in my country, so they obviously won't be here. The closest race track is at Pasir Gudang and Sepang in Malaysia (My country is just below Malaysia). Even so, I didn't get to go there to watch the live race.

met mick doohan at sydney airport after he won at eastern creek in 1995......met anthony gobert at phillip island last year

would be great to meet rossi, but i'm sure you would have to be extremely lucky to close to him, the world wants to know what it is like to be valentino rossi.

I've met Wayne Gardner, but when he was driving cars not bikes. And I've met Barry Sheene too and that was only a couple of months ago.

I was spannering for a fellow racer at Chris Walker's first ever bike race meeting. He had a novice jacket on and rode an RGV250.
He was **** fast as well, won a race and was just as hard on the bike.
By the way did anyone notice that Chris's bike was the slowest through the speed trap at Jerez, slower than the twins!
Has Honda given him a dud, I know he is new to it but he is not that slow for goodness sake.

For some reason, 99% of speedtraps in the braking area and aren't very good indicators of actual speed. Just who brakes last.
