Chris Vermeulen Hits the Big Time

 

By Dirck Edge

The opportunity arises due to an injury to Troy Bayliss, but the opportunity is there because of the huge talent of Chris Vermeulen. We have written about Vermeulen before, and the 23-year old Austrailian has just wrapped up a second place in the WSB championship. Now, he makes his MotoGP debut this Friday at his home track in Phillip Island aboard a Camel Honda RC211V.

 

It is no secret that Honda is now on a bit of a "youth kick". Nicky Hayden is only part of that. Honda wants to develop talented, young riders, and now realizes that leaving those young talents outside the MotoGP paddock too long can make their transition that much more difficult. Enter Vermeulen.

 

A healthy Vermeulen is clearly headed for MotoGP, but the focus is on this weekend at Phillip Island in a one-off race aboard Bayliss' machine. Apparently, Vermeulen has almost zero seat time on the MotoGP rocket he will race this weekend, so we shouldn't expect too much. Given Vermeulen's talent, however, if you are familiar with him you will expect much nonetheless. It will be interesting to watch.

My interest in him all started because of AT’s non-stop yakking of Ten Kate Honda, my Vermeulen Shoei, and my Arrow pipe.

 

It will be interesting to see how well Vermeulen stacks up against the bigger boys. If he can beat Rossi, he’ll shoot to instant stardom. What a debut!

 

No prizes for guessing who will be kissing him on the cheek if he ever goes to Sepang for the next MotoGP. :cheeky:

 

The 3 monkeys will be standing by to take a picture of his girlfriend of course, haha.

Fancy pipes, but kinda inappropriate though... :giddy:

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that!"

A bit wasted if everyone gets Arrow. Try something different, variety is good.

Be adventurous, if they're not available locally, bring them in yourself and have them approved. I would do that.

 

I am eyeing Sato exhaust. Unfortunately it's not straight after fitting.

 

Wah, Din so happy.

Any HRC experts here? I'm trying to figure out what pipe does the Repsol RCV use?

 

Moviestar RCV uses Devil. Notice the extra padding on the seat?

Camel RCV uses Leo Vince.

What the hell does Repsol RCV use?

I don't think Devil has any homologated pipes. But don't despair, if you like it, make them do something.

 

Change the world dude!

 

Be like Apple, set the trend. Don’t be a Lemming.

 

Small inspiring excerpt.

 

... Steve Jobs (Apple) used the same argument to convince John Scully (Pepsi) to head Apple many years ago. When Scully declined the initial offer, Jobs was said to have asked him, "Do you want to spend your life selling sugar water to children or do you want to change the world." Scully had little choice but to accept.

Joking, no angry ah!

 

Homologated is just a cooler way of saying approved.

 

Before you know it, you can hear all the bengs in GP Esso asking, “Wah, you pipe so loud, homologated or not ah?”
