Great News! BT one of my favorite riders.  Maybe this is the break he needed to get back to the top after a TON of injuries, and not getting a ride this year for SX.  Remember everyone him and RV were neck and neck in the east coast lites a few years back with RV sneaking out a title.  They were both about the same speed back then in that class before the injuries hit him when he stepped up to the 450.  Hope he is 100% and ready for the outdoors.

Awesome! Ben was tearing it up at Red Bud 2 years ago and I was impressed. He needs a good team.

I wonder how much better the factory Honda....Reed's bike....is over the ride he had on Ping's team. He came on strong mid season but I think that was confidence more than equipment

It's not that Reed is that brilliant of a team manager because if you remember back pre-2012 season when we were discussing who Reed should hire as a second Two-Two team rider a lot of us here had mentioned Ben as the go to guy that Reed should approach. Since the Pro forums are known for it's solid advice and thoughtful members I'm sure someone directed CR to the discussing on TT and he was like "damn, those guys are totally right in their thinking, honey get Ben Towley on the phone" and that's how BT got the job of filling in for Reed now. We helped and was a big factor in Reed's choice. You welcome Ben, anytime we can help buddy! :thumbsup: ............. :thumbsup:

I have two small kids, one likes to go to bed late and one likes to wake up super early, my wife is a sound sleeper which turns into one mean woman if she doesn't get 8 hours of sleep which leaves me to tend to the little shits at night/morning. I figure I will just get some honest sleep when I'm dead lol. You seem to be a night owl as well.

I am a single parent of a two kids, one is 21 and gone...and one is 18 months and she is a 3-hour long cycle sleeper. So I have given up sleep for a while. It is overrated.
