Good luck EBR and crew for 2012!

Will he still be acting like an idiot on the track though? That's the big question!

I hope he keeps riding the same, it is nice to see a guy throw it in there and go for the position and not worry about others feeli gs. Racing is facing, if someone is in front of you, thn you have to take that spot like they just hit your sister and get it back! I'm all for it.
I wish more people were aggressively passing I some levels of racing.(motogp) Sic was not scarred to do it. iLife's him for that too.

^^^ haha I know huh, I just re-read it and it is all messed up.
It is way to early to try and be serious. I did just pour a first cup of coffee though.

I still don't see how that bike is legal for the AMA. Don't they have homologation minimums?

From what I understand, he has sold quite a few of these bikes in Europe already. It's is supposed to be a good bike and Eslick will go well on it. Would you rather it not be on the grid? BTW, Eslick going to Buell has been a bit of a closely held rumor for now...

I watched one race in recent years and it was him spending more time parking Herrin than he did actually trying to win the race. And in the end he cost himself and Herrin the title. Probably why he's stuck in a dead AMA series. Told me everything I need to know about the state of the AMA series and I went back to ignoring it. Glorified NASCAR.

He's a good talent for sure - haters gonna hate. Regarding the Buell, I had Geoff May blow past me during the WERA GNF @ Road Atlanta on that thing, and it's a rocket.

I'm curious to see how they do, and I'd like to see them do well.

Eric Buell can afford to run two bikes but KTM/Hansen can't?

Sittin in the same wharehouse in Poland alongside the 100 HD VR1000's and the Petronas whatever-the-hell they called them.

I'll be rooting for them.

I'm excited about this. Eslick can obviously ride and that EBR bike is supposedly pretty solid.

Good luck to them!

Good news! I'm stoked for this year in super bike, should be some great racing. I'd still much rather see him on the world stage but at least he's racing!

I am not sure how you cannot be a fan of both Eslick and Erik Buell. Every time that kid gets on a bike he is 110% and EB is a serious innovator and a true racer who doesn't let himself be held down. DSB is fantastic and Superbike is going to be really good. Cannot wait for Eslick, Herin, Young and Hayes to go at it, every single one of those guys can pedal...
