It's amazing what some of the privateer racers can do on limited funds, compared to the factory riders

Seriously... this is true is all motorsports... the fact that some of those guys are running anywhere close to factory riders, when riding with 1% of the budget, really is impressive. Often it identifies a rider who is soon going to pick up a deal/sponsors...

Yeah, prime example, the link OTB found about the dude who dumped the desmosedici RR right out of the dealer lot

Not to mention the fact that there are dudes at NHIS running TD laptimes 20 seconds faster than me on bikes with less than half the horsepower. Yikes...
