I see the Jennings has a private track rental listed today with the description Buell.

This was posted to EBR's Facebook page about 30 minutes ago:

"Testing the EBR 1190RS at Jennings yesterday and today. The guys are going really well. But there's lots to do over the winter to get ready for 2013 AMA Pro Superbike season. But here's a clip to remember when we finally showed up on the radar last year. We came a loooooong way in 2012!" http://moto-racing.speedtv.com/article/video-ama-s bk-ebr-spotlight/

Aaron Yates might be the right choice, allot of experience, and he lets is all hang out. Blake Young is no slouch either.
Interesting things happening for sure.

20 is the anti-99 [in terms of temperament]

he's kinda like Danny's no-nonsense uncle......

Yates? The guy who gave a flying kick to the rider that he took out? You know, the rider who did nothing wrong, but Yates was in too much of a hurry to make a clean pass, so he hit the guy, and when they both crashed, he jumped up and kicked him in the chest?
Erik must be getting really desperate.

I like Yates but there are many better choices available for sure. Tommy Hayden, Zemke, Bostrom, West, Westby, Aquino, even Blake Young9who I can't stand) all without rides(that we know of) as well that I would rather see on an EBR.

Actually all the previous names listed would be good for one reason or another.

West - Obvious talent and ability to adapt to the bike.

Yates - Aggressive. Can squeeze a lot from a little (and we all do dumb things in the heat of the moment)

Hayden - Simple - experience

Zemke - Experience (money must be tied to results though)

Bostrom - Marketing

Westby - Great talent and aggressive. No real big bike experience lately that I know of.

Young - Fast when he wants to be.

Aquino - Youth, but unknown on a big bike.

Sipp - Oh wait, no one mentioned me. Haha. But I guess I'll do it if no one else takes it.

Looks like EBR is trying to get feedback from several different sources.

I'd rather not see Yates offered a ride though...

There's speculation on one of the road racing forums that EBR might field 3 teams next year, but I think it's pure speculation.

Walt has an INSTANT fan club should he pick up a way to get an 1190RS into the fray!

I'd say Walt already enjoys a fan club here

separate from Walt's racing astride a Buell, his happy association with much-missed previous sponsor, Dick Fish, is enough for me

That is an accurate statement!

I whole-heartedly agree!

Cory West has just changed his twitter account from corywest57 to corywest13. I assume that means he will be going back to his old number 13. He also said news is coming. I have some inside on what it may be and am keeping my fingers crossed.

I'd find it strange if he wasn't on a EBR. A couple days ago he posted on FB about being 13 again.

Cory had 13 when he rode for Team Hunter and he also has always considered it his lucky number.
