Ray, dude I just had to go there.. I had to watch it over and over, it was incredible. Not sure exactly why Pietri ended up where he did, but your control keeping that bike up even had Freddie Spencer commenting about your control.. I am sorry you had the bad luck, but I think you got more TV time than 90% of the other racers.
I do think Alexa needs to put "Towtruck" on the back of your leathers...
All in fun..

+1!
Tow Mater Hoffman...the kids love him. Great job Ray!
Awesome job! I bet it wasn't easy to come to a complete stop with the other bike in tow.
Excellent maneuver!
Tino totally screwed up judging how to pass him. Damn lucky it didn't hurt them both and a damn good job keeping the bike up on Towtrucks (sorry, I had to!) part.
Tow Mater, Rob that is some funny sh*t.
I like it
Ray, Ray, He's our man, If he can't Tow 'Em No One can!!!
haha that was great and Roberto screaming was classic too.
Why was Robertino yelling at him, he caused the crash. Ray should have kept going to the pits with his brand new GSXR in tow. "I didn't finish the race, but look at what I caught" Did either one finish the race?
Yep, Ray finished. Could have been higher up if not for the tow...but then again, a little TV time never hurt anyone.
Simply Incredible!
Damn... I go on vacation for a week...forgot to DVR the race, and now I here Ray's starting a Towing service! what else did I miss.

I think Ray will now be known as Ray "The Hook" Hofman
That was awesome
WTF was that twit yelling at you about?
Guy
I want video!!!!
I was busy and unable to see any TV last week.
On Sunday Speed had the 200 scheduled for re-broadcast on Tuesday at 11 central time. now they don't
There's a short recap on the Speed TV site that shows a bit of the tow, but not the yelling.
Thanks for the posts people. It was an interesting ride. I was able to finish the race. Had to replace the rear tire due to a nice flat spot from locking up. Pietri was yelling something but I don't think it was in english. And wouldn't ya know it but Butch Frye was one of the corner workers helping pull the bikes apart. I did notice at the end of the race they had me listed as riding Yamaha. Maybe something to do with the two bikes mating
