| Endorsed  Joined: May 2010 From: Berringham preeze? I Ride: '06 Yamaha R1 Raven | I hadn't seen that picture yet either, pretty much the ultimate example of wrong place wrong time. I read a summary of the press conference from the Moto GP race direction. [URL="http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/174331/1/motogp_race_direction_holds_simoncelli_press_confe rence.html"[/URL] This helps shed some light on the situation, it really seems there was nothing that could be done for him. I strongly doubt that he felt any pain, which is comforting to know. As for him low-siding it does appear that he almost had saved it and just couldn't pull himself back up, which would have been absolutely superman-like. At the angle he was taking he would have definitely gone off track had he not been struck. His determination and refusal to quit is what caused him to perish, which is nothing short of amazing and makes me respect him that much more. |

[English Translation:] this kiss in the wind is for you you'll get it there with another hundred ones this is for you maybe it's not much I know your story it deserved more attention and maybe who knows if I had known I would have helped you but what does it matter now that... you can take the tale of a comet and by turning the universe you can go away maybe you can reach your goals now a different world that you never found before it just didn't have to happen this way now we are all a little bit more lonely here this is for you this flower I chose I will leave it there under a covered sky I look in the far distance and November is passing and you've got 20 years forever... now that... you can take the tale of a comet and by turning the universe you can go away maybe you can reach your goals now a different world that you never found before... you never found before... maybe you can reach your goals now a different world that you never found before... it just didn't have to happen this way now we are all a little bit more lonely here now we are all a little bit more lonely here... this is for you... |
