The sport will not grow with decreasing bike sales, period!!!!
So... then don’t we need more winning on Sunday?

Wow...there's a lot of angry people in this thread.

I realize most of you come in here to vent or show everyone how smart you are or pick a fight or share a story or prove someone wrong or brag about how connected you are or complain about, what seems to be, everything under the sun.

It's hard to believe you guys even like moto. Maybe you should go to a forum about something you do like.

Enjoy the racing tonight

Gear? Sounds like your asking after powder to blow up your nose. It's called kit.

Sorry if any of these have already been mentioned:

1. Whenever they let a teammate by at an outdoor its, "I had a bobble in that back section"

2. Whenever they let a teammate by at a supercross its, "I went a little wide in that corner"

3. Dropping anchor

4. Tongue in his spokes

5.Whenever they DNF they never know what caused it...."I don't know I'll have to find out when I get back to ther pits"

6. Let the race come to them

7. If you're not crashing you're not trying

8. Dress for the crash not the ride

9. Put their head down

10. Grab another gear

OMG... NO ONE has mentioned this one????

"Bar to Bar"

I am SO tired of that!!!!

"There they go over the triple, bar TO BAR!!!!!"

I threw up a little in my mouth (*) just typing that.

(*) my second most hated cliche'.

I'm with the guys who disliked:

Colorway
I gave it 110%
"We" and "our"

Another one I just thought of that I find kind of counterintuitive, when selling bikes proclaiming it, "Never been raced". .....as if racing the bike versus just using it on the same track during practice days puts so much more strain on the bike. Not to mention, if the bike was being raced the chances of it being maintained at least half way properly are exponentially better than buying a "Never raced" bike from somebody who just rides wheelies on it or who believes each and every suggested replacement interval the manual states is an outrage and is only ever followed by guys who get everything free.

Agreed with this one... " once he got in front, he set sail..." Not a good metaphor for a motorsport.
My all-time least liked phrase is "have a good one..." .

"We made some changes" - but then telling us zero details about the changes.

"Gnarly" is a bit overused.

Clapping at the press conferences + the softball questions by the "reporters" who just want to be buddies with the riders at the press conferences.
