One of the greatest motorcycle driver is retired, he gaves me a lot hours of racing fun. World champion in 500cc and Moto GP, he belong to the Hall of Fame.
i grow up with Spencer, Rainey, Schwantz and many other guys with really big balls, so motorcycles is a part of my life.

A group of us rode motorcycles over 600 miles up to the Inaugural Moto GP at Indianapolis in 2008. Rossi was in his prime at that time, an incredible rider, we were fortunate to see him win the race.
 
For 24 years I’ve been watching Rossi and what he added to the sport of motorcycle racing is remarkable. Even today, at 42 years old, he’s out riding the craziest 240 HP prototype race bikes like he did in 2001. I went to each of the years at Moto GP was at Laguna Seca, watched so many races over the years and will watch the race today. My buddies and I have a Moto GP fantasy league and have for 10+ year, I’ve picked Rossi years, even though he’s not won a championship in a long *** time. He is the GOAT
 
His braking skills is what always drew my interest the most.... In his prime and if he needed to close up space on the leader at the end of the race his distance needed to stop for the next turn was second to none...

He was just like Schumacher in every win was like his first and treated it as such. Big hole to fill in MotoGP but someone is just waiting to be the next Doctor....

If I remember correctly he is the one to perfect that one leg down move to slow the bike.
Awesome rider.
 
That can't be
I remember watching him move up from 125cc to 250cc

I can't be that old
