OK, it's good seein' the old man give that BMW some stick.  [thumbsup]

Were all those black lines his?

Or maybe that's McCoy wearing Troy's gear and riding Ruben's bike?  ;D

Different platform though, isn't it? I'd say a crossplane crankshaft qualifies it as a totally different bike ;D

Either way...the team, bike, and rider are all critical. And it's very impressive that Ben can win at a track he hadn't seen before.

yeah, but ben also tested the '08 and said it could've been a race winner... of course, he was specifically talking about the ama superbike series.

Yeah, Ben has the 'stones while everyone else was on those shitty Michelins.  (sorry, feeling nostalgic for last year)

gm2, don't feel bad.  I watched R2 three times and R1 twice.  In my defense, the third time was cuz datv hadn't seen the races yet and offered me [drink] to hang out and watch racing.
