+1  Gotta agree with Derby's line of reasoning.  I'd happily kick ass in AMA against lesser competition for an extra $24M, rather then move to WSBK.  That's a no brainer...I don't care how competitive you are.



Once you have a few million in the bank, does a few more really change your lifestyle?

it may not necessarily change your lifestyle but it might change your thinking on the matter once you have 2 kids.
Like this is the racing, no?

i had completely forgotten about this interview with alex barros where he talks about carlos checa taking $100k/year to ride the ten kate honda.

i wish i could remember what site that was originally on. it evidently wasn't superbikeplanet...

If you were only talking a few, like the difference between $19M and $24M, or $6M and $9M then no.  But a $24M difference...hell yes!
