    Wasn't Hacker the only guy out there that got semi-close to the Mladin/Spies runaways in 2008 on that pos ZX10R?
    Went good enough to get a fill in spot on the KAWI WSBK Team for Miller that year?
    Got offered a fill in ride by JU in 2010.
    Doesn't sound washed up to me...
    And you didn't see him crying when Eslick stuffed up the inside of him for the win at Mid-Ohio in 2009.
    Put Disalvo and Hacking on the grid again and watch the sparks fly!

    There was a clause about pre-existing injuries.

    In the future, the issue of non-disclosure will be specifically addressed.

    Again, you guys are all geniuses, given hindsight. If you were dealing with somebody who you had known since he was a little kid, and who referred to you publicly as a long-time family friend, you may have been inclined to believe what he told you to your face, too.

    Come on JU, you gave up the information on the wera beeb and you don't expect your balls to be busted a little bit?

    Yes, you might have been taken advantage of but you learned a lesson to make contracts stronger for the next time around. We've all been down that road in one way or another so don't feel pregnant that it happened to you.

    This started when I answered specific questions directed to me.

    I didn't start a thread complaining about he done me wrong! But I am sure as hell not going to cover for him, either!

    What I really learned (again) is, it's hard to make people not lie, no matter who you think they are.

    So sue me!:D

    Very true and we appreciate alot of the insight you bring to the forum on the big riders! I just read into the post to much assuming you were getting upset at all the "geniuses" on the beeb. :D

    I'm in corporate banking in a recession - believe me I know how you feel!

    TakeItApart Oops!

    I'll take your bet if you give me 50% podiums, but one exception. Room for one front end loss. :D (which I would say would be a fault of his own.) See ya in two either way. :up:

    Unfortunately in today's world it is all about ME (not me specifically but I assume you know what I mean), trusting people is getting harder and harder. I'm sorry to hear that you got screwed in this deal, John.

    I've always thought highly of Hopkins and his mother but this taints the picture of John quite a bit - desperation to save a career I suppose but no way to treat a friend and, let's face it, you effective GAVE Hopper his career. Without your push in right direction there is a very good chance that he would never have seen a GP grid. It's a long step from the FX grid to MotoGP.

    And thanks again for your support of Peter Lenz. It ended in tragedy but who could possibly have known? It was appreciated by many of us whether you know it or not.

    Keep reading these replies John, I have no doubt the brain trust here will straighten you out for the future!

    Okay, just to play the devil's advocate, isn't it possible that Hopper really believed he could perform at the level expected of him despite his injuries?

    In the immortal words of George Costanza, it's not a lie if you believe it.
