...the southern fans see him as a family man who simply wears his heart on his sleeve.
...But the "whinging Poms" see him as "the Moaner" who's never satisfied - never happy.
It's a
cultural thing, mate...
...
Nothing to do with reality!
I actually wonder whether he might switch to the Australasian Supercar series which is massive down this way (

Be-JAY-sus, Jamesy
?
that was some
race! :bow:
I thought it was supposed to be ?City or Desert? out there, but that circuit looks be-YOOT-iful. Do they do bike trackdays there, too?
As for Casey? Yeh. I hear ya.
He?s always been consistent. Even in his
crashes, I always got the feeling that
he was too fast for the
bike ? and not vice versa.
?He?s always given of his best ? and it?s a pity that he won?t stay around to prove that he IS the best for much longer.
As I said: this will be a
huge loss for MotoGP and, to the man who (I expect) will "go out" WINNING ? I can only offer my respect. :bow:
...But he's STILL "the Moaner"... :-0)
(Final caveat: at a circuit (can't remember which) I heard someone had won a raffle: the prize was "An evening with Casey Stoner." (Oh, how we laughed!)
By all accounts, Stoner was absolutely
brilliant to be with: down-to-earth with a great sense of humour and someone who you'd be
delighted to have as a genuine friend.
The lesson?
En-
JOY the hype.
BIG-IT-Up.
...just don't
believe it.
...I reckon the simple truth is that Casey Stoner has nothing to prove.
