It's not a safety car, it's a safety bike! Hey, wait a minute... Buell's out of business. Guess they have to go back to the safety car. Probably will be a Yugo with Edmondson driving. bang head laughingdp Hope Hopper stays out of it's way. [moto]

I wonder if he never got a chance to really shine (injuries, uncompetitive rides, etc.), or if he's just not alien material?

Nope...

he's a professional rider.

I'm an amateur keyboard jockey.

He still will never beat the fab four...that's all this bs is about...not whether we can keep up with him.

I did once, I cut underneath him at Goddards and pipped him by wheel at the line. Then I woke up and ate a hearty breakfast. coffee
