rossi's wedgie

alex.s · September 25th, 2011, 02:48 PM

i was reading the book 'performance riding techniques' and they mentioned something i never noticed before...

rossi picks a wedge before every single race he starts.

i wonder if there's some kind of turbo button hidden down there...

nickjpass · September 25th, 2011, 03:16 PM

Nitrous activation is there.

Random question...how do you say FIAT? Is it feeat or fi-at?

nickadolph · September 25th, 2011, 03:19 PM

fee-yacht

nickjpass · September 25th, 2011, 03:23 PM

I WAS RIGHT! Take that kid who thinks he is smarter than everyone (ryan).

Haha. NO! A friend at school thought "FIAT" was pronounced "feeat". Seeing FIAT on Rossi's motorcycle reminded me about that I wanted to know how it was pronounced. I was right. He was wrong.

The funny thing is, everyone thinks he will be valedictorian.

alex.s · September 25th, 2011, 06:18 PM

"Fee-ought"

How do you think it's pronounced? It's pronounced "fee - ott" by most english speakers. Some brits do pronounce it closer to "fee - att". But no, it's never pronounced "Figh - att".

Edit: Would you want a wedgie every race?

KawiKid860 · September 25th, 2011, 09:19 PM

maybe hes just getting it out of the way so he wont get a wedgie mid race that will distract him

Live2ride · September 25th, 2011, 10:05 PM

so...what happens when you fart inside a full leather suit? do you turn into the michelin man?

I'm not kidding...I almost fell to the floor in laughter!

ninja250 · September 25th, 2011, 11:01 PM

Crash protection airbags. You gotta time it just right!

Trailerboy531 · September 25th, 2011, 11:39 PM

haha I imagine if you're in mid-crash it's not too hard to fill those "air bags" reallllllll quick

alex.s · September 25th, 2011, 11:43 PM

too bad it's not air you would fill them with -_-

He was making sure the turbo valve was working.

I thought the bubble rides up your back until it either:

a) bursts out from your collar and fumigates your helemt due to micro air currents

or

b) harmlessly disperses (if you have a perforated suit)

I could be wrong. I do know that it is difficult to get a proper "cheek up" position in order to excavate these gasses when wearing a full leather suit. Rather awkward really...

Rossi's bum is too skinny so he has to do that to get some padding in the right places. Just two cents from a female who may have noticed these things...

nickjpass · September 29th, 2011, 01:49 PM

I think if I wore full leathers, my hand would be constantly picking at the front end. I can barely stand wearing jeans...

Darling Ninja · September 29th, 2011, 05:22 PM

He has a lot of strange rituals. He's very superstitious from what I've read.

burningscooter · September 29th, 2011, 05:25 PM

Yup.
I did a little Rossi style prayer to the bike gods before I did my test. I passed. Just sayin'

GeneJunkie · September 30th, 2011, 06:46 AM

Oh Rossi, he always puts a smile on my face. I can't imagine that leather wedgies are much fun.
