Good move for him and Ten Kate. He was a beast on that little bike.

A great guy in the paddock too.

Would have been nice to see Pitt on a competitive superbike!

It sure seemed like he was having a harder time with the Honda than Marco did with the Ducati, he sure looked like he was going to be a front runner based on the previous season. too bad

He didn't have much fight in him after his brother died either.

He had a bad time... family trouble bad crashes... it just ruined his psyche.
I feel bad for the guy. I hope he brings back the intensity, and is able to move forward in his life, and not just on the track.

It makes me happy to see other people on this board pulling for a good guy like Sofuoglu. He was wonderful to watch in '07, and I had high hopes for him in '08.

I had high hopes for Keenan this year as well. He never got a long with the Superbike at all this year. I thought that maybe that Ten Kate Honda would give him another shot at it! I remember reading an interview of him in the middle of the season when they were comparing data from his practice run and the data from Toseland from the prior year. Kenan could not believe how many times Toseland was on full throttle. He will be back though.
