I'm just guessing but one could surmise that Hopper could've maybe underestimated the competition in the US and may have thought that even at 85-90% he'd be a podium finisher.

Not slagging off the guy, I quite like Hopper, but if he wasn't as fit as he let on, perhaps he thought talent would make up for it.

The article where I read about it...

I hope Hopper gets the seat in BSB. The series has huge talents and more would be great!

Man, I hate to read about this stuff. John is my favorite rider, and to see him caught up in such mess is awful.

Now I can't vouch for Hopper's character as I don't know him personally, but it does not seem like him to do this, at least in this fan's eyes. Perhaps he was a bit over optimistic on his own condition, but I find it hard to believe there was any real malice involved.

I hope it all works out and we see him as a frontrunner in 2011, especially if it's in BSB (this is a fucking mouth watering prospect)

I'd love to see Hopper in BSB. It would be good for him and good for the series.

Looking forwards to the new season already, as I look out of the window looking at 15cms of snow.

Well....after reading that article.....I don't think his condition even THAT good! I mean....not being able to "twist" the throttle? If you can't twist the throttle.....how in the hell can you hang onto the bike? Turning would be affected also don't ya think? Not good.

Try paying attention to this thread, you may learn a thing or two. Nice to know some things never change.

I know who double tap is, no problem there!

[ninjasquaddie]

I don't.

[Gary]

I don't.

He is named throughout the thread - but I think you only started posting here regularly after he left the forum.

That's right......you haven't.

And what would I learn exactly? How to be friendly?

[Graystroke]

I don't.

Didn't miss much......

On the contrary, Alex is a good guy. Internet arguments don't really tell a lot about the person in question.

I concur. Some people might not though.....

It's almost a new year Gray, lets say bygones and start anew. Life's waaaaay to short to hold grudges over crap from an interweb forum.

Uncle Hulka.

Oh........BTW.........my name ain't Francis. Jeez....

[Graystroke]

Uh......so Alex. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm supposed to have learned in this thread? I appreciate any help. I'm lost without your guidance. Thank you.

New board, same old shit.

Tbh, it stinks.
