Hi all,

I am a big Rossi fan and thus I think this site is great!

I made a six hour drive up the coast of California to see him race at Laguna Seca a couple of weeks ago - it was amazing!

Since I am new here I am not sure if this has already been posted - but does anyone have the image of Rossi kissing his bike? I remember seeing it but I never got a copy and thus I would love to find it.

Here's a news clipping about it:

YAMAHA'S NEW signing Valentino Rossi left a six-man fleet of Honda riders struggling to find excuses when he won the opening round of the 2004 MotoGP championship in South Africa yesterday.
The 25-year-old Italian beat his Honda rival Max Biaggi by 0.21sec after 28 laps of the 2.6-mile Welkom circuit. Other Honda riders Sete Gibernau, Alex Barros and Nicky Hayden filled the next three places.
After he gave Yamaha their first grand prix victory in 18 races, Rossi leapt from his bike and kissed its fairing.

If you do have a photo of this that you might share, it would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Indigo

PS - I wanted to add that I think it is cool that these boards are so international!

I must admit that when I first saw this video clip I wondered what on earth could have happened for Valentino to be so distraught - it really does look like he is crying but I have read that he was actually laughing at the time.
