He deserves it big time.

I'd sell it and put the cash down towards real estate. Make the $$ grow!

brio · 11-12-2013, 08:26 AM

Wow...he looks so young. That's pretty cool though. Good for him.

Rossi won a few M3's back in the day. The year the GTS came out, he got to test drive it, and wanted to trade the M3 he was going to win for one of the GTS's

Marquez put MotoGP on notice. There is a new kid in town. He rode great, even when hurt (so did Lorenzo).

I suspect you were joshing, but saying the best bike rider in the world in 2013 is going to crash a car that for him would be like us mere mortals driving a golf cart is just plain ridiculous. Maybe you don't know who he is. Look him up.

Do you ride...?

You do understand that bikes and cars don't handle the same right? And that you have fantastic spatial awareness on a motorcycle and abysmally poor (by comparison, and especially on first driving a car as big as the M6) spatial awareness in a car?

I'm not suggesting this kid is going to crash, but being world class at Moto GP does not make you an unparalleled driver on the streets in a road car.

i emailed puma customer support but they are useless. I've spend hours trying to find this jacket on ebay and amazon. Do you guys have any leads?

Fast is fast brother.

I'd sell it because that frozen black or matte black or whatever you want to call it looks like hideous cheap primer and get something in an actual color! If I wanted a car that looked like it was in primer, I'd buy a beater done in primer.

Never understood the fascination with matte black. It doesn't look good IMO.

I think you're using that in the wrong context, and it's making you sound disgustingly envious. This young man earned this reward.

You are missing the point. Young kids crash high powered cars not because they can't judge how big the car is, but because they don't understand throttle control and balancing a car at its limit. Our MotoGP WC is not going to have this issue.

And yes, I've been riding for over 30 years since I was a kid and currently ride a MV Agusta Brutale.

speeddeacon · 11-13-2013, 01:19 PM

Another great perk to being MotoGP champ, as if there aren't enough already!

That may be true that he earned it, and I am envious.

But how many Joe Blows can just go out and get into motoGP? I'm reminded of Patrick Dempsey whining about being bored making millions on Grey's anatomy and buying his way into LeMans.

I don't know too many 20 year olds who can just stroll into motoGP.

Sick car! I thought I was young @ 23 but this guy takes it!
