I could live with that, except I doubt they will promote Aquino (or are you saying just dump him?)

Yeah, right. Suzuki would be crazy to let him go to Yamaha. He's running at the front on a Celtic bike and he's only 17 years old.
If you credit the Buell with making him a winner, then you have to credit the Suzuki with making him a cruising caretaker. His results fluctuated a lot in 2009 b/c it was impossible to determine whether the track layout would give the Buell an advantage or a disadvantage. The only absolute advantage of the bike, imo, was the torque. It was like a magic eraser for any and all mistakes. As long as he was in the neighborhood of the optimal line he could maintain front-running pace. If you can ride a wide variety of lines without losing time, you can pass more easily, and it gives you an x-factor late in the race when riders take bigger risks to make a pass.

Ben said goodbye to American Suzuki. Denning and Suzuki Japan were the ......... who decided Spies was not good enough for MotoGP. That's how the Flamminis were able to scoop him up, and put him on a factory Yamaha. Spies needed help finding a ride for 2009, and at the time no one was keen to sign him b/c they thought American riders were no good.
Right. The Bostrom brothers are the sole reason the AMA has been garbage the past few yrs.
As usual, I didn't have time to watch the races on the weekend, finally finished up watching last night. NJ was awesome. I said this earlier this year, the AMA has been the best racing to watch all year and the races in NJ were excellent.
Eslick, I like the guy. I picked him as my favorite for the championship early in the season. Granted, I was no fan of the Buell and I do feel his championship last year was a bit "tainted", I still want to see him prove the haters wrong by winning this year on equal machinery. Right now the championship is still tight, anything could happen. We are likely to see it come down to the last race.
Eslicks pass on Herrin. I think it was a little harsh, and would like to have seen him be a bit more apologetic at the post race, however as previously stated, these guys have all pulled the same thing on each other. Danny is cool enough that when Herrin pays it back to him I'm sure he will just say "well that's racing".
Sellar having to sit out. Lame on the AMA to do this. DSB is full of missile activity like Sellar's. Are they going to police everyone in the same way?
Aquino's crash. Scared the hell out of me, because it looked very similar to Tomizawa's crash, slipping off the bike and onto the racing line. Luckily he went off track and didn't hit the wall very hard. Lucky guy.
SBK had some great racing. Tommy tried his heart out to take the wins, but bad luck in race 1 and a well determined Josh Hayes in race 2 put a stop to that. The title is still up for grabs in both classes, and will most likely not be determined until the final races, pretty cool imho.
Hopper finally makes it to the podium, but no post race interview on Speed.
Yep I remember this as well, I believe it was during the pre-race build up for Daytona. And you are right, most of the guys picked Eslick as the guy they liked racing against.
