Ben's battles with RV in 07 were epic, in my opinion some of the best racing I've seen.

I hope he comes back as fast as ever and just as determined.

Is he gonna run any rounds in AUS Super X Scott?

Can BT come back and race the lites class in SX or did he point out? It will be nice to see him at the races again.

Hey, Motokiwi--I see my buddy Justin McDonald is leading the points in the New Zealand MX Championships. If you know him, tell him his buddies Steve and TJ are pulling for him back in the U.S. to bring it home!

"Poor BT" will show you how he "toasted his career goodbye" when he spanks Reed, Reardon, Metcalfe, Moss and any other Aussie that might race 450 outdoors this coming season...

BT is has proven his speed by taking wins from RV. I'd say that's a pretty good measure of speed - seeing how no one has ever been able to hang with RV outdoors except Townley!

I'm a BT101 fan.
I'm happy to hear all this.
I'm sure it's been tough.
I'm sure he'll be back.
I'm looking forward to it!

Thanks! And do you know anything about Burga not racing? Is he hurt? Haven't heard anything from him since those guys left the states, so any update would be appreciated...

Looks like they could be good pictures but every one I looked at looks like a bird must have crapped on his lens. There is a big splotch right in the middle of every pic.

Burga has decided to work on his families fishing boats though the MX nationals, mainly to pay back the money he spent racing in the states, he has left the NZ Honda team and will run the bike he raced in the states in the NZ supercross series which starts in January,

Justin has a good points lead half way thought the series over Suzuki mounted Cody Cooper, after Daryl Hurley crashed out of round 2 and broke his heal, he is riding really good, 3rd round this weekend, look out on www.holeshot.co.nz for results,

and Motodude, why the hating? BT followed his dream to race in the states, he won a lites sx title, took 6 overall wins off RV in a season, and his career is far from over, watch out for the 101 this summer,

btw - he raced and won a local cross country race here yesterday, beating NZ best off road racers by 2 minutes, it was awesome to see him out there.

Don't pay attention to motodude, his ignorance is proven and mostly ignored.

Nice to see him back, he has been down so many times now I stopped counting. I hope he can get his shit together this year instead of crashing his brains, shoulder, knee.

So he's on Kwacker now?
