MOTOGP » Gresini completes 2008 rider line-up

Max may not be a nice guy, but he'd made himself a sacrifice by being the first to speak out. Now that the crap hondas are being plain for everyone to see this year, Melandri had had the audacity to show his frustration. Pedrosa had threatened not to renew his contract earlier in the year. The discontent of other honda riders are also no secret as well. The difference now is that honda don't dare to be nasty with them all this time. Let's hope they (honda) will be further humbled next year.

... Management problem in Honda...

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts,"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man below says, "Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering
approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude."
"You must be an engineer" says the balloonist.
"I am" replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost."
The man below says, "You must be a manager."
"I am" replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You have made a promise, which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem.
The fact is you are in the exact same position you
were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault."
