Kool or what?Is it really the first SBK rider to win a GP?[What about
Frankie?]

Did/nt even get all excited about it, like "i won, yeah and?"

Confirmed it was his LAST RIDE in MotoGP and that he is happy where he
is..................:

**********************************************

Give me a home among the gum trees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two

A kangaroo

A clothesline out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair

You'll see me in the kitchen

Cooking up a roast

Vegemite on toast

Just you and me

And a cup of tea

And when my friends will ask me

The place that I adore

I'll tell you right away.

Give me a home...........

Ummm, Hatz, couldn't help noticing, there's an Aussie flag up your pole but
no sign of the usual Italian one, or the yellow one with the number 46 on
it...

 

FYI I have both But will NEVER Bow to a japanese one...


<<or the yellow one with the number 46 on

MMMM, must have gone up in yellow smoke/fireworks i saw after the
telecast...

 

He's the first SBK champ to go on and win a GP race

Kocinski did it the other way around

 

Unless you're japanese, why would you?

 

Simon Crafar won a GP race at Donnington in 1998 and he came from
superbikes.

Yes, but I was only referring to SBK champions....

 

Nicky Hayden was AMA Superbike Champion

AMA isn't SBK though...

 

No fool! (And they never said it was!)
It's the first Supers CHAMP to win a GP. (Little John did it the other way
round)

The first World-Superbike race winner to win a GP was a certain M. Doohan
in 1990.

 

DAMN; beaten by 5 hours (or thereabouts)

 

Crafar never won a Supers race though (not that that was a criteria).
Tamada won a Supers race and then a few GPs.
Mick Doohan won 3 Supers races and a GP or two too.

 

Ahhh very good clem... I'd forgotten about that!


G-S

 

Now can you see the need for daylight saving? You would have only been
beaten by 4 hours (or thereabouts)


Beer mate?

Hang on, didn't Crafar win in the rain at Valencia in 1995, or was is
94 (damn this lousy memory ;-( ) This was just before McCoy showed how
to slide it.

That's why I added the "thereabouts"! I wasn't sure if tropicus was
tropical or not!!

Crafar came very close but never won a World Supers race.
He did win the 500 GP mentioned above though.

 

I was on the phone to him a few minutes ago, he is coming back to live on
the Gold Coast in a few months time.

rides a Jap bike.... and jap ridin gear.
