SuperSic was our Buddy right away...you know when you like someone...right away...before him...marco melandri was a last season rider for the ZXRRR and we were just meeting/monterey...awesome times... dating and were just watching our first race weekend at seca ....perfect...sport....perfect track..location...me now moved here...super special times...for us.,.....Melandri...now kicking butt in superbikes fim took some giant rag dolls trying to make that black last year secret zxrrr to its best finishes ..without even stickers......so we were big Marco fans of sort..then Melandri went to superbikes
then we saw Marco Simoncelli on T.V and knew we were seeing something cool.....(we dont get the 250cc...motoII now...here @seca cause of size constraints) Marco was exciting...we knew right away when he came to the premiere we were gonna back him.....he came here and was sliding on the second lap ...too cool...
now this year..we thought he would do so well...
It was tough season and he took many chances...he drew fire...a lot of fire...
he was asked once
do you worry about dying on the motorcycle
he said no no i live more in five minutes on a bike doing this ,than most people do in their whole lifetime
We were big fans and were sad when he had crashed with those guys and folks got hurt this season...now this
I was watching the race and had no idea...i knew right away but like racer54 said they really could not say on the t.v and the pits did not know...i have never been affected by a sports star dying and feel like my family member has just been killed in front of me.....i cried all morning and woke amy up @ 430 ...we sat there and sat there all morning...i cant watch it again..ever
9/11
the shuttle
my brother
to sit on my couch smiling,unknowing, watching my favorite sport and sipping coffee...and see my favorite rider die in a flash......i was balling...i just am not liking bikes at the moment the same and may never again fell as i did about bikes
I can not fathom going to the track....this day sucked..
R.I.P
Marco avrebbe detto...."diobo' ragazzi quanti siete!"....
