AGREED! he is a mega road rider, but a PR nightmare. All manufacturers should feck him off and watch him come beggin
The japs usually only give you one chance, look at honda with Rossi, so will be interesting to see how this all unfolds, good rider who's ego might outweigh his talent
It sounds as if he is going to be a bit of an Anthony Gobert, brilliant on a bike but a plonker off it.......
It could've been in the adjacent Tent and he'd think nothing of a No Show! This is the Man who arrived (late) at a BMW PR event wearing a Kawasaki T shirt!
He looked very lean at nec.... Dunno sps, think his record maybe justifies the ego lol and rossi walked away from Honda, but your right, the jap manufactures are ruthless mofo's. I'd still bet he could build his own bike and win on it tbh.
I think he is a twat, but he is also a great rider and the races won't have as much value if he doesn't race.
No offence but when we can ride a motorcycle as well as this man, that's when we can make comment on his thoughts and actions...till then...........I suggest till then we keep it...... and just enjoy watching him doing what he does best.
He's a brilliant road rider who has the potential to be maybe the best road rider ever. However, he's starting to burn all his bridges by the looks of it. I understand the wanting to work on his own bikes but the ' factory's ' aren't going to wear that. If this stories true what options does he have left factory wise ? I'd imagine if he just bought a bike and raced as a privateer it'd be very expensive. I hope he does continue to race as he is brilliant to watch.
That the same kwak that's never won a senior? Remember he has already ran Paul bird fully sorted wsb bikes and said the zx10 was a real handling round the TT
A lot of people don’t like him and will not miss him neither. He is always grumpy and I will make a bet, that Bruce Anstey could be the winner on a BMW in 2015. M. Dunlop will regret his behaviour and his stupid decisions when he gets older and unsuccessful with his private bikes.
Totally agree jimbo massive talent and I think he will beat his uncle joeys record if he stays safe,and didn't joey do the same with honda I come to think
