A: when the '05 AMA season starts...!!! :shocked:
apparently, the AMHONDA effort doesn't seem to be getting all the works bits outta Japan for next year. plumlee, luddington and all those quys are great, but not having equipment closer to last year's is an unfortunate shot in the foot. :rolling: it's like starting with a new bike all over again. miguel has nothing data wise really to build on from all of last year's hard effort. and with that, mladin runs away with his 6th championship damn near uncontested. :808993-banghead:
could this also mean Japan realizes after mat's 5 titles... and rossi taking a sole M1 and DECIMATING, LAYING TO WASTE THEIR ENTIRE ARMADA OF V5's... that perhaps they've been wasting too much money here in America...? and maybe... just maybe... it's time to "GREEN LIGHT" the vermuelen/tenkate world superbike effort afterall...? :laugh: (ie. someone who at least has a shot at giving honda a title in '05, :blush
damn sure ain't gonna happen in grand prix... damn sure ain't gonna happen in AMA... not likely to dethrone crescent in BSB... AUS, JPN, and CAN aren't really vital markets to claim... so by process of elimination, what's high profile enough left to focus on if not world supers...? :shocked: $1/4 million dollar competitive hondas don't just up and get "mothballed". those old bikes (or pieces) gotta be going somewhere...? now who reads in-between the lines, predicting the future better than S1...? :grin: the writing's on the wall fellas.

notice the skinny "everymans" exhaust and absence of the works swinger...? :rolling:
notice the upper with actual holes for ducting. indicative of an attempt to regain power now lost.
here, miguel pretends to be elated with both the duct openings AND the gay OEM swingarm of his new bike... WTF...!!! :808908-wtf: i didn't sign up for this. when did i become ben bostrom...?!?! :808875-bs:
i dunno know... being christmas eve... maybe i should've titled this post with one of my patented... "CANCEL CHRISTMAS" headlines...?!?! :kaboom:
