Go Casey Go!!!
Do it your way and bugger the detractors, your not out of the cookie cutter mould that they seem to crave, and good on you. Who cares if the press don't understand, they have such limited imaginations that if it isn't spelt out in black and white they can't digest it. Their problem, not yours.
Remember that the press had similar problems [their words not mine] in understanding both Gardner and Doohan.
The press want their cake and eat it too. They want the riders to be happy and joking and go out of their way to supply material for their publications - heaven forbid that a rider should show preference to their actual job on the track. But then if a rider does give them what they want and then has a few bad races then they turn on them in a flash.
The strong minded riders do their talking on the track and keep the media at arms length as they know it is impossible to satisfy its insatiable appetite. They are paid to race, it is what they do best, so let them get on with it.
As Doohan has shown, even the most prickly rider can show his true personality after he retires.
Go stick it up them [like a big black dog] Casey.
I can't wait,
