He avoided any contact with fans and almost ran some people down in a golf cart on his way to the trailers.

But, but Ben is the nicest guy in the paddock isn't he? Ya see guys it's not just me Ben definitely has an edge to him even with his fans. Schwantz on the other hand, one of the nicest guys I ever met. Title: Re: Some images from Utah (spoilers) Post by: Cider on June 03, 2008, 10:39:10 AM Spies did the double. Again.

With so many cool things going on, it's not hard to get a few good shots. I still have a lot more photos to sort through. Title: Re: Some images from Utah (spoilers) Post by: darylbowden on June 03, 2008, 12:12:15 PM But, but Ben is the nicest guy in the paddock isn't he? Ya see guys it's not just me Ben definitely has an edge to him even with his fans. Schwantz on the other hand, one of the nicest guys I ever met. I haven't talked to him in the last couple years, but the last few times I spoke with him, he was definitely one of the nicer people in the paddock. In fact, I know for a fact that eh regularly checks up on the CMRA racers at the AMA national events to try and help them out - what a dick! Title: Re: Some images from Utah (spoilers) Post by: Cider on June 03, 2008, 03:08:04 PM Yeah, it's not really fair to judge a person from a few brief encounters, and I was sort of kidding about him avoiding fans; however, I compared notes with my friends, and of everybody there, he seemed the least accessible. Mladin gave some pictures/autographs despite having a disastrous weekend. Bayliss, perhaps the biggest star of all, hung out in the paddock and talked to fans as they passed by. Corser was happy to pose for a photograph less than an hour after crashing in race two. Even Biaggi gave some grudging autographs.
It doesn't matter though; I'll still be rooting for Spies--especially if he makes it to GP. Title: Re: Some images from Utah (spoilers) Post by: Cider on June 03, 2008, 07:30:42 PM A few more:
