Mladin on 2WT
Anyone else watch this last night? I've always thought he was a pretty wiley PR man, always towing the company line... but... He didn't really sugar coat things when asked about GP. He basically admitted that Suzuki's machine sucks. paraphrasing "I don't want to compete in something that I don't think I can win" big fish / small pond

Overall, I thought he came across as a pretty decent guy.

I've always respected Mladin as a person and a racer. He says what he's thinking whether you like it or not.

You can tell he's been in the business a long time. He's a good motorcycle salesman.

He's going to be at the Suzuki Demo Day here at the local dealer on Saturday. Might even get a shirt signed by him for the Rec Room!!

Do you want an autographed 8.5x11" poster? He signed it for me at Sears Point in 2001 (I think).

a guy in Burgessville is painting the bodywork for my motorcycle. It's just outside of woodstock.

Yes, right on the Detroit river. It separates Canada from the US here.

Woodstock is 2-1/2 hours easy ride from here. We go there quite often as The Bride has a cousin there.
