Gotta say, I will miss checking the time sheets on Saturdays wet practice and optimistically thinking a top ten qualifier might equate to something ! Only to be dissappointed but still I had my hopes. Also look at it this way, the current economic trend will not and cannot continue and when things turn around, that will just put Kwaka years behind in R+D. It's a bad decision any way you look at it and am frankly suprised by the number of so called Kwaka fans that are happy to see the end of green on the grid.

Mate, its our opportunity to recover from "loser-syndrome"....I mean didn't you feel the humility man !!

I know of this loser syndrome you refer to. But without anything on the grid, you know how the old saying goes.....your only as good as your last result....that may last a while. All we needed was one totally drenched racetrack and Gobert "on the Kwaka" the only one running wets. ala P.I. and Bimota

Bimota actually.

I stand corrected Bimota. As for the spewzuki comment, It was all about the dollars and two wheels, sometimes we can't just go out and buy what we really want.

I know, or the Hoff would be on a B-King

Remember a few years ago... Randy Depuniet was way in the lead when it started to rain he was hauling ass! stupid rain!

Nah - he looks good wet!

I always said he is only there to attract females to the sport (coz he can't ride for shit!) But he is soooo easy on the eye!

You sure you don't mean Nakano at PI in 2006?
