Too bad Buell won't pony up the cash, because here's a quality rider.

They would definitely need a full factory backed effort to cover his paycheck though.

Hodgson already turned down an offer for the Rizla Suzuki ride in the British Superbike Championship. It seems he really had his heart is set on a return to World Superbike. Something tells me he wouldn't be content with Buell FX ride for any amount of money. It would be cool to have him though.

I think you are right Dwiggs. It would be a big step backward for him. However, if he is unemployed, he's better off racing anything to keep his skills honed. He has a chat area on his website, Schmitty why don't you try posting your suggestion there and see how well it is received. http://www.neilhodgson.com/

I read an interview a while back where he jokingly referred to riding for Buell. I can't remember where I read it or saw it though. I don't think it is the ride he's looking for or would even consider.

If it wasn't a big step back for McWilliams, why would it be that big of a step for Neil. I think he would enjoy it at least as much as Jeremy did, who told me he thought riding the Buell was a hoot.

There is no money for any rider, or team, so why would he receive it positively?
