I don’t think Marquez or Rossi acted with malice, so the contact is a wash for me. But why does Rossi stand the bike up and go wide? He was deliberately running Marquez off track. Too what degree this can legally be done is beyond my understanding.

At least they’re consistent. Now we know not to trust them about anything, not just diesel.

But isn’t Rossi’s knee not in the “normal position.” He stood the bike up for the whole corner (while running Marquez wide).

Brodozers should be numero uno

call me a hipster but that looks slick

The old rectangular barends were cooler but this looks good. Too bad about the weight though.

Just a lot of wasted development dollars that could have gone into putting a round freakin’ headlight on a bike like the R3.

perhaps one for the modern times... if only they would build em

You did a great job with this series (I pretty much agree with all the picks). Really enjoyed it and it’s got me pumped for Spectre.

It seems that anyone not deeply entrenched in the Rossi camp agrees that most of the fault rests with him. Usually people defending him/attacking Marquez end with “ForzaVale.” It makes sense for Jorge to lay the blame on Rossi for many reasons, but partly because it seems right.

Are there things about Harley-Davidson that suck? Of course. Same goes for all other bikes. And are there other great cruisers out there? Yes, absolutely. But Harleys are just so damn fun.

You’re kind to say so. All the reviews seem to think so, especially Autocar. Nice car btw

Those spiked wheels say it all. It doesn’t matter if you leave lots of room, you don’t just go around so you can be “first” or “king of the highway.”

Marquez’s helmet touching Rossi and Rossi’s foot touching Marquez’s controls could both be “accidents.” But Rossi looked over at Marquez twice during that turn (judging where he was), then went wide of the racing line while Marquez was on the outside (acting on that info). I think that puts Rossi in the wrong; if they…

RIOT!

I would recommend: watch the first season as much as you can (a lot of it isn’t integral to the story but develops the characters), watch the second season, watch the OVA Trust and Betray (one of the best anime films ever imho).

It’s not a balance fallacy. “Balance” has to be taken in context, and in the context of the United States, the two of them are on opposite ends that are unrealistic for the US. I wouldn’t call either of their ideas impossible or crazy, just not mainstream for the general population.
