Danny Hart is the new World Champion. He won it in fantastic style and in the most horrible of conditions. If this doesn’t impress you, check your pulse.

Enjoy the day.
Two Wheels. One Dark Lord.
…i gotta admit, mikey, i missed his infringement on the racing surface at the start…
…i saw him using the truck to knock the tire barriers into place on that last parade lap & i remember thinking to myself that it seemed rather late for that type of action…i guess i surmised correctly that the drivers had complained during the ‘parade laps’ but i missed the near miss…
I suppose my generally antagonistic attitude to motor “sports” is more about the fans. Jesus, a more brain-dead gaggle of mouthbreathing cousinshaggers you’ll not find anywhere. Well, maybe at WAL*MART. I feel abit unclean any time that I am exposed to that lot.
Hey, BGW, just looking for some clarification:
“…i’m not a “hater” but i’d suggest i’m a ‘non-relater’”
“i resent that “…haters gonna hate…” bullshit when you clearly haven’t taken time to get a serious fucking perspective…”
So which is it?? You can’t resent something you’re not correct? And if you feel the need to curse at me over a comment that wasn’t directed to you, then you are the one who needs some perspective.
Joe- You ever been to a NASCAR race? I live right by Chicagoland Speedway and went to a race a couple years back…the crowd is really quite different than your perception. LOTS of $$. Nice families. Actually, it was a good time. I pity your narrow vision at times.
I bike 5-7 days per week, mountain and road, geared and singlespeed, and I love it. But I’m also a gearhead that LOVES fast cars and fast boats. Nuthin’ wrong with me.

Oh…and Senna was a freakin’ GOD.
Been. Hated it. Prayed for a bullet to the brain.
“Go fast. Turn left.” Wait. What? That’s it?
And as a construction worker I’m around noisy gas-powered machines all day long. Bugger if I see a reason to spend a second of my precious scarce leisure time around ’em, let alone pay my hard-earned money for the privilege. As to the fans, the less said the better.
Reckon that’s why my ideal downtime is on a bicycle, preferably fixed gear, and ideally in solitude. But whatever trips your trigger; just leave me out of it.
Oh, and as to “LOTS of $$…”-There’s rich assholes aplenty in this world. Astounded beyond words that it’s escaped your attention.
Oh, and how did this mutate into a smog monster thread in the first place? Thought the topic was bikes. Downhill to be sure; not my cuppa. Bicycles though, so close enough.
But it used to be “Drunkcyclist”, not “Drunkmotorhead”. Call me a retrogrouch. Call me a curmudgeon. Call me late for supper , though, and I’ll kick your ass. But whatever you call me, I miss the old days. Can’t there be just one car-free site? And why not this one?
Joe, the old days of this site were filled with porn. And it was awesome!!!
Yeah, those were the days…

And what happened to TheFixFixFix link? Church on Sunday’s now too? Sheesh.
…son…if you can’t pull your head out of your ass far enough to understand what i said, then you just go on back to whatever the fuck it is you think you’re good at…
Joe…curmudgeon does not even BEGIN to describe you. For one thing, “go fast, turn left”…hahahaha…obviously you haven’t DRIVEN a Cup car…I have. I’ll be DAMNED if those guys aren’t athletes. As was stated earlier…many of them could probably ride circles around some of us (especially you).
Rich assholes? Sure…there’s plenty now…but wait until Obama gets ahold of them. Then, they will just be assholes. Kinda like you…
+1 for porn.
@61-I understand fine. That don’t mean I have to give a rat’s ass. As to what I’m good at, enough folks seem to think I’m good enough at it that I make a decent living.
@62-“…ride circles around some of us (especially you).” No doubt. Most days I’m grateful just to get out of bed and give a good solid eight hours. I figure as long as I’m fast enough to beat the undertaker I’m doin’ okay.
And damned if we don’t agree about old Barry Hussein. But he ain’t a king; not yet anyway. Any shenanigans will have to go through Congress, and they’ll only have to hold him off for another year and change. Hell, he makes Jimmy Carter look good.
Great. Another year and change of BS designed just to tear down Obama.
The fact that millions are suffering isn’t important.
And given the pathetic crop of GOP candidates, it looks like I’m voting Dem again this time.
Perry ? Really ? I wouldn’t elect him to be dog catcher.
And I wouldn’t elect Barry Hussein to shine the dogcatcher’s shoes.
Neither would I in normal times. But nothing is normal anymore.
When in doubt, I always choose to split power.
Good point. Hell, your boy had both houses for two years. Ran up more debt than all his predecessors combined. Now he wants to spend more money we’ll never be able to pay back, sice the last stimulus got so many back to work. Fucker ain’t got a clue. “We have to pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it.” Behind closed doors yet. And him promising* to put the legislation up on the Internet for all to see.
*and cut the debt in half**
**and end the two wars we already got***
***never mind the third one he started in Libya****
***and close Gitmo****
****and blah blah blah
Jeeze, I think I’ll have that drink after all.
“****and blah blah blah”
OK.
Except for Libya, all you posted was all Bush.
Helloooooooooooh ??????????????
You can’t have it both ways. You excoriate our 43rd president for his policies. And yet no one dares to criticize your vacation aficianado in chief, despite his continuation of said policies. Usted muy loco, I theenk.
And my point, in case you’ve been hitting the sauce awhile, is this:
The hoop-shooter at 1600 promised to do away with all that Bush nastiness. He broke his promise. This goes to his character, and ultimately his fitness to serve a second term.
And have you forgotten that both houses were ruled for two long years by his sycophants, not to mention the mainstream media serving as his de facto propaganda machine?
