These grandpa earl things are so cringe. I’m still not sure I get if they are actually saying Wilson is doing a fill in ride or it’s just a full April fools but good for him if he is. Nice touch by Honda to give him the chance, he’s a fan fav for sure and I assume he will make those the last rides of his career? HRC bike ain’t a bad way to do that. 

The first Grandpa Earl was great...       The magic is gone since then.

The script and the acting, yeah. But there’s something about the jeans, windbreaker and open face with no goggles that is just perfect.

Realistically where do we see Dean finishing on an HRC bike?

100% out with injury before the final round.

Honda just need him to put the bike in the mains and to gather some raceday data for SX on this new chassis so that they have something for the Lawerence boys to build from next year. If they were smart, they would put Ferrandis on the second bike and use these last 5 rounds as best they can to avoid repeating this SX season in 26. Canard testing at a Cali SX track during the week just isn't the same as that bike out racing SX on Saturday nights in different towns at a proper pro pace.

Not many with more seasons than Deano but It's Fernandes. He already got the HRC connect.

I don't think it's as simple as just throwing Ferrandis on the other bike.  He rides for another Team that most likely has funding from sponsors who are expecting Ferrandis or a rider of his caliber to be representing them.

I'm wondering the same thing. Only I can't really imagine HRC participating in such an elaborate video just for an April Fool's joke. I think it's legit.

Deano wouldnt be on an HRC bike, in his fly racing gear with HRC and Progressive branding if this was an April fools prank.

I’m super happy for him. It feels like a mutually positive situation for both Dean and HRC. It’s a feel good story out of their otherwise disappointing season so far. I don’t imagine they expect too much from him. But I bet he will be pushing to make the most of it. Congrats Deano

Yes, there is some cringe involved - but overall, this is awesome!!!  Have to give it up to Dean for the goon riding abilities on SX obstacles.  Hoping he makes a good showing in the last rounds!

If you cant have fun with grandpa earl, or get behind Dean racing, there is no hope. You are dead inside and have no soul. 

With all the crap in the world,  just have some fun.

If AJ can win on it, so can Dean.

I would hope top 10 but can see him battling the Bloss Oldenburg group. I see him doing the same on a HRC bike and the Quad Lock team bike.
