    I too had thought a JH4 / Josh131 appreciation post would be appropriate this week. After all, us old folks have to support each other and I'm expecting to make a congratulatory post after every MA round this year.

    Superb riding this weekend my friend! I already celebrated your birthday publicly, but I have to say you have set the bar for birthday celebrations a bit too high for the rest of us here. Please don't wait until next April to win again. Very Happiest of belated Birthday wishes to you. Looking forward to catching up with you next month at Road A.

    I was looking at Josh's stats after his latest win and it looks like his first full year of pro superbike was 2004. It is amazing as to who his contemporaries were that season.

    Thank you so much John, and all of you. It’s all really special for me. I’ve had an incredibly fortunate run of opportunity, luck, support, etc.
    And you should go back and look at 600 Supersport in 1999, my first full season in AMA Pro racing!

    Nice work Josh! I've always been a fan and it's great to see you out there still kicking ass and taking names. Is the triple easier to ride in the rain because it's a bit more torquey / grunty than the R6?

    See you in Atlanta. Stop by the OCR tent and say hello.

    Also... Anyone who hasn't listened. Go back in the archives for the Tank Slappin Podcast and listen to the Interview Cory did with Josh. That's a good one.

    Was hoping you forgot about that. At least you didn't have to share a room with Kurtis
