I'm a big supporter of the kid, but it's hard to say how much is him, how much is the bike.

sounds like the boy needs a job....

within 33 laps, he's turning faster lap times than vermulen did during the race, and he's 1 second off hopper's race pace. simply awesome.

Sounds pretty amazing to me. I'm sure he was not pushing to his limit since he was only there as a journalist and other journalist needed to ride the bike when his turn was over. :stir


Ride safe.

he's actually got some interesting insight into ben's riding, and how he was getting thru the corners. if kevin is right, ben can go a whole lot faster.

maybe he should follow colin and nicky around for a bit...:lmao

Current Schwantz isn't exactly 100% in shape, I think if the 25 y/o Kevin was on board, it would be a different story... :mock

Oh absolutly true, but when Kevin Schwantz says that someone has skill, I pay attention.
