From now on part of the "interview" process will be to sit on the bike and twist the throttle wide open.
This whole thing is dissappointing; both that it happened this way and that Hopper probably won't be in the AMA next year. I guess the good news is that finding a rider shouldn't be hard in this day and age. Does the Monster sponsership stay if Hopkins isn't there?
Didn't see him sign it. Sent it off to his manager and it came back signed. Given hindsight, you guys are geniuses! You should all enter teams in the 2008 AMA Pro Superbike Series!
Heck, I had to take a complete physical test just for a Bank job for the added insurance! Guess that doesn't apply to athletics and contracts. Sorry to hear JU....it does suck!
No way, John. Won't have a chance at winning. I hear the Yosh boys have a trick up their sleeve. Probably throwing in a cheater crank. I have a hunch they won't get away with it, though.
Hmmm Eslick would make a good SBK candidate! Hey John do you still have access to your old errr other account here? I sent you a PM awhile back, mag related
where is my HIP HIP HOORAYYY icon??? JU i think you are 10000 times better off...Hayensworth (NFL) was caught saying "Damn, people think im unmotivated and lazy"... No offense but IMO that kid was always wayyyy over rated and ungrateful from what i have witnessed first hand over the years...plus he is made of glass! the guy shatters shit every week...i mean Hopper...EAT and work out once in a while..at barber he looked my 8month baby girl weighed more...not healthy... .now what about my boy Holden?? Come on the kid is good and determined..and i bet about 1/1000th the headache of that other guy
Things get pretty crazy in the board room! And you never know when an irrate customer walks in or even a robber!
did you guys REALLY list "Hacker" and "Zemke"?? Come on....those two have "jumped the shark" a few years back...great racers..but if you want old ass guys on way out...at least pick a good one... SCOTT RUSSELL FTFW!! hahaha I say Holden..but im biased.. THere are many guys UNDER 30 (hell hacker is what? 48 now?) that are motivated and please dont say Mccormick..that kid wrecked more bikes than hopkins has fans this week... Of course Martin and Danny would be great but sometimes you need a guy that has actual 1000cc SBK experience...HOLDEN FOR THE BIKE...ill even tell Rich to leave the Gold Golf car in Seattle John
Never said he was injured, but a lot of people have been saying for years that he's on the downslope of his career. There are entire threads about it...you know that. Lying about an injury to a lifelong friend would be indicative of desperation for a ride or just all out douchebaggery.
maybe cause Jake H doesnt have $$$$ to "bring to the team"?? there are A LOTTTTT of ama racers that are there only cause the $$ and sponsors they bring to the team..PERIOD!
I have it right here, but I can't figure out how to get it into the bbs. I will copy and paste it for you all. "My name is Juan Pablo Ulrich, you lied about your wrist, now prepare to die"
So basically what JU has posted has absolutely nothing to do with you being an asshat about Hopper's ability and your post I quoted was just more bullshit since you don't have the slightest clue about his ability or lack thereof.
