Ben, you haven't factored in the reward you get just from riding a Honda. Though not monetary, it leaves you rich in victory.

Says the one of 3 guys in the whole country who races a Honda with white number plates.  :biggrin:


You Honda guys are so silly. Hmmm, the entire top 20 in the AMA, along with the entire top 10 at the WERA nationals, as well as every bounty hunter who enters a big race must be wrong!!!! F Suzuki and Yamaha (mostly Suzuki)! I want a challenge, Im buying a Honda!!  :ahhh:

I edited part of this, as I was asked to keep it confidential:
I e-mail Reid, regarding this post, his reply this morning:


Any posts regarding our contingency is complete speculation.

Lets not be so quick to assume.

They are still waiting for appoval for the roadracing side of things.
My guess is they will pay, its just a wait & see game.

They said that they can't say they are not paying.

If they are waiting this long then they most likely will be paying something, its just a matter of what.
If it was no they wouldn't waste their our our time with all the ridiculous phone calls of riders constantly asking.

You talked to the girl, not Reid.
That said, I'm not all that optimistic.
But he told me, it's not dead yet, and that's the main thing.
