Is this the Hopper curse?

When my wife heard me pregnant doging about his Indy crash and shoulder injury her only comment was "maybe God is trying to tell him something". I said "yes he is, he's telling him to go to WSBK!"

Yep, it's the Hopper curse for sure. Maybe The Ben can open a chain of Stackhouse burger joints with Neil Hodgson and they can trade stories about the good old days and surgeries.

Both shoulders at once. His mom is probably wiping his ass.

I needed a good laugh.

Not exactly a Spies post but close considering his constant problems/injuries.

When will The Hopper learn?

Short-term outlook not good, long-term not much better:

I hate to agree with fastwin, but I think it's time for the Ben to follow Nicky out to the MotoGP retirement home, aka WSBK.

I don't think his injuries are career ending.

Neither were any of Hopper's single injuries career ending but when you have 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury on top of 1 injury...

Well eventually your body just says "make the beast with two backs you...not doin' it anymore."
