Odd/neat! So sponsored by Buell directly? |

The sponsor/team listed is Erik Buell Racing and NOT Buell Racing. It looks like Erik is getting back into racing - even if "only" as a team owner. Paraphrasing the old ad slogan: "This time, it's PERSONAL!" |

Think West is kicking himself a bit for turning down the RMR ride that Eslick got? Maybe next year Barnes will be replaced. |

that is cool. Looks like this is a step closer to a factory team even if it only sponsorship with the founder owning the team. |

They will be on rr's, other wise Taylor would be on his GSX-R. |

From Larry Pegram's site..Just sayin-- About the Ducati 1098 R: The 1098 R is the AMA Homologated version of Ducati’s 2008 World Superbike Champion; the F08. It is a Superbike in the truest sense of the word, based on Ducati’s flagship 1098 R streetbike and differs only slightly from its F08 cousin. edit...forgot the smiley (Message edited by bott on August 14, 2009) |
