What makes it a turd? It has pretty much the same engine as every other bike on the grid, it has a Suter chassis which is not total garbage and it has the same done-slops as every other bike.
Maybe that's the rider and not the bike? I know, crazy line of thinking but I'll throw it out for thought.
Hey man, I don't know, you don't know and doubt the team knows. Where'd the 'tarded frenchman Zarco qualify? Unlike Herrin, doesn't Ratt-tat-tooey know the tracks?
One major issue that f@cked Herrin was his (or the team's) choice of numbers. #2 in a rookie, learning season is like dressing like King Diamond to meet the Pope. Bad ju-ju right there.
Define the good parts? An unbent chassis? Wheels without dents and cracks? Really, other than his having a Kalex chassis labeled as a Suter what was different than the other Suters?
Okay, treat me like Metalhead here, what did I say that answered it? Really, if Herrin was getting the doodoo parts (triples, shocks, forks) it'd be interesting to know.
Stiggefelt took another opportunity to shit on Herrin on Eurosport this morning. Just as mean as the other interview I mentioned a couple of months ago. Couldn't just say "things didn't work out, so it was best for both parties to part ways." That would have been way too classy. Yo JH, did you pork that guy's mom or something? Wtf?
