Come on, racing needs armchair opinions--its part of the fan experience Grin.  After all, I can't cook, but I have all kinds of opinions about food.  I can't sing better than Celine Dion, but I don't like her music.  I couldn't beat Hopkins in a hundred lifetimes, but I can still consider whether he lived up to the hype from the Faster movie.

The main team the American has been associated with is the brand new FB Corse project, which is to field a three-cylinder 800cc bike designed by Oral Engineering

Does that mean the bike and the rider will suck?
