NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!! I was so looking forward to seeing BT101 ride in Australia. In saying that though, if he does go, I hope he does well.

You would think he'd had enough of being smashed-up. If he does come I hope the outcome will be different from usual for him.

If Townley does go to TwoTwo, that would open the door at Carlton Dry Honda for a certain ex KTM factory rider who is currently training on a privateer Honda....



or Jake Moss

Although it would be a blow to the Aus series (for spectators; the championship might benefit though), I would really like to see him on that bike if he is in top condition. Seems like a waste for both Townley and TwoTwo if he doesn't...

That would be awesome. Base himself out of the goldy and party it up. Plenty of hotties to keep him amused while he is here as well.

I hope BT is ready and doesn't drop out mid-season to go home and recover/re-build again!

Was just a matter of time until we saw Townley.... he's still too good and too fast to be put out to pasture in Australia just yet.

Thinking he'd like hanging out in Nimbin more.

Although I am a fan of BT101, not a good choice. Poor kid is too fragile.

I really hope this is true- but i thought the bike was honda's (not chads decision to hire another rider) - if it is true, and it does happen then i hope ben is 100% fit and he has an injury free season. He has the pace/ talent to beat anyone when he's at 100%- it was sad to see him at the valkenswaard gp riding round at the back, we all know he can win in any class when he's riding at his best.

Sheesh...if he wants to put a piece of glass on his bike...Brock Hepler is a lot closer....

With that said..BT knows the Honda, and certainly has the skills to run up front. So I wish him the best, and hope (REALLY hope) he can stay healthy and challenge Villopoto like they did as team mates on Pro Circuit.

I hope it doesnt happen. The dude just doesnt seem very likeable. Chad has a good thing going. He should take care not to ruin his goodwill by hiring a rider with a non-marketable personality.

Also, I wonder what he could do with (coaching) Tickle next year... Just a thought.

You have clearly never met BT, he is a nice guy. Would be a great fit for twotwo. Ben was killing it in the first moto at MEC, he had the speed. If he gets the ride I am saying top 3 outdoors.

I've always thought BT was pretty cool. It's too bad that he always seemed to be hurt, not sure if he's fragile or just bad luck.
