Kurtis back in the AMA
I personally think its good for the AMA. The guy will give Mladin fits I think and he'll be one of the few to challenge Mladin this year.

I agree. I don't think MotoGP was his thing!

At least he (or someone knew) that he shouldn't try out for WSBK...maybe spend a couple seasons in the BSB if he gets bored with AMA.


Personally, I don't care for him. He shows no 'maturity' by trying to manage a race. It's either win it, or bin it. And he's no Rueben Xaus...

Re: Kurtis back in the AMA
I think Kurtis is just the trouble maker that the AMA needs to make this series interesting... Last year, it was almost like zemke and duhamel would ride just hard enough but not really push it or take chances when it came to beating mladin... I know kurtis will bin it if he has to but he'll ride aggresive enough to make a win worth it...

i just hope erion can make the bike competitive since it won't be a HRC bike this year...

Agreed. Ever since he left, there just haven't been enough riders in the AMA to make you go "What an idiot!" or "What an asshole!"

Well, from what they'yre saying on Superbikeplanet.com, no one will have an HRC bike this year, not even the American Honda guys. Everyone gets kit bikes to do with as they please. Should spice things up a bit methinks.

I agree with you on Kurtis. It was a little... dull... last year personality-wise. I'm getting a little tired of Zemke's travelling sponsor review show. It was funny at first, now I just mute him.
