How & why?

Buildbase have a very good team, and let's not forget if Jacko Jnr doesn't perform to standard that a certain Mr Kennaugh has dibs on a SBK with Buildbase in those circumstances.


Not going to happen anyway, Leebob is fast enough to hold his own, a year experience on the big bike and help from Kiyo-San will bring him up no end.

A few of us have a book open on how many engines Milwaukee pop this weekend too.

Because thats my opinion.

I'd read that Kiyo had a spare bike and hoped that Hicken might give him a run out on that. Its seems you are a know all regarding the happenings in BSB so I bow before your great knowledge.

Perhaps you'd like to publish a weekly summary of what you know and save us from having to speculate and offering opinions?

I don't know fk all, but kiyo's a complex chap he seems to feel comfortable with the team to get the results , last minute team changes would would probably work against this.

Would love to see him on something a bit quicker than the suzuki though, to add a bit of drama how about on a bewiser kawasaki with tommy hill as team manager.

Rutter gets Joe Burns old ride with Gearlink Kawasaki

Ever since I'd read that Joe Burns had left Gearlink after one round, I'd assumed that this was going to be Hopper's ride

He announced it last week on Twitter, it didn't seem to appear anywhere else though

Just checking the BSB site & it looks like Davo Johnson has gone from Motodex BMW too

I saw it pop-up on some news feed, thought it was BSN but can't find it now. It's mentioned on his twitter: April 7th https://twitter.com/burnsfiftythree

Is that a ZX10R frame in his latest pictures? Then one of an old European Superstock pic...could it be a clue? smile
On his Twitter he's showing a tank modification to a ZX10. Maybe doing the TT?

Joe left as he was unhappy with the way the team were forcing him to accept their solutions to his handling problems on the bike. He wanted to go one way and them the other.

He has said he has a few irons in the fire. He won't be on the grid for Brands but will be back for Oulton on the BSB grid, although he's not said whether this the Superbikes grid.

He built his own bike in SuperStock and is heading down that route again rather than signing up with an established team.

I jumped the gun, Rutter has only agreed to ride the bike at Brands (next round) so far.

Last year he said he'd love to do Macau, but never will as you need to do the TT first and he shuddered at the idea of doing that. Can't see that he's changed his mind.

Just seems odd adding what looks to me like an endurance tank.

Maybe the Endurance World Championship?

Entries closed for the TT a while ago,not seen any mention of him having entered

Doing the TT is not a prerequisite for entering Macau,Easton won Macau last year,he has never done the TT

Would you need an endurance tank for Macau anyway?

It was more sponsors requirements than anything set as a rule.

Glad you know better than I do what he said while we were having a beer that night. I didn't see you there though. His words were that he would do Macau but he would have to do The TT first to satisfy his sponsors and he wouldn't do that. Bear in mind that I'm not saying he was or is doing Macau either. This conversation started because he said there was nothing that could make him do the TT so I mentioned that to quash the rumour on here that he might be doing the TT. that's not to say he hasn't changed his mind.
