I'm a bit of a Taz fan so will be rooting for him- think he'll likely have a job on his hands with that bike but here's hoping 🤞🏻

I really like Brad Ray, I hope he does well!

I'm hoping for a Discovery + Black Friday deal so I can watch it :)

Yeah, he seems like a top lad. Hope he’s does really well.

I'd still love to hear someone explain Taz's 2023 ride in WSS as a positive thing. It looked like a waste of time right from the start. Yeah,I know he won a race,but...yanno.

I hope 2024 works out better for him and Brad Ray.

As an outsider looking in I would say that it put him in the spotlight with Honda,I doubt he would have got the Suzuka ride or the 2024 WSBK ride without him being in that paddock

Yeah,maybe so.

I'm mistrustful of Honda,they are great at promises. Remember how Johnny Rea stayed loyal,hoping for great things from Honda,yet all he got was a guest ride on a Motogp bike and told not to crash it. :wtf: Years were wasted believing in promises that never came. I'm of the opinion JR would have done well in Motogp back then,but he was fucked about and then became too old anyway.

Apparently Taz is getting a new Fireblade with fancy airbox and cheap after market exhaust.
She'll be right mate 👍

On the other hand, the proper Honda top brass love racing.
They all go over to the TT every year, almost under cover so they can enjoy the whole thing.

Considering the fact the Honda is garbage, I'd be astounded if he sees much of the top 10

Both Brad and Taz are really nice people, both deserve to do well.
Midori Moriwaki also seems very nice so I hope they do well.
