Has anyone seen this?

The Ben Spies Method:hehe: Guess which track it was filmed at.


Cant wait to see him in motogp 2011


Could be next year, but that video is so funny. He's a cool guy. It's a shame really because i have only had the pleasure of seeing him race once. Might have to check out the WSB championship soon. But i think he would be an awesome partner to Colin :P

There is something damp about Lorenzo and Rossi's rivalry. Maybe its because Moto Gp hasn't delivered the goods this year. :P:wink:


It is the high light of my Motor racing season. it is beating F1, but i am fidning F1 enjoyable in 1 way or another :P


Spies is a remarkable rider, but the WSBK championship is far from over. Haga is still in it!

True, but he is the only name to pop up in the most wreckonisable motor biking series. I also find his humour and characterisitics a treat. That will come out in the Moto Gp series :thumbup:

you don't see team-mates doing that in F1.

last time we did a 2 times champ spat the dummy


I read both Vale and Lorenzo were complaining about the team mate staying next year - this was right after Lorenzo renewed with Yamaha. Only a single year tho.
Now the sports media are deep in suppositions, they're even putting Rossi in a Honda next year :rolleyes:


theres a article in GPweek that Rossi is not happy about having to work on the bike for two riders especially his closest enemy! he said he doesnt deserve this.... sounds kinda sooky to me! :nono:

Really? Awwww :hehe:
Kind of weird though really? but if you were working of the 'master' of bike racing i think you would prefere him to set it up?

P.S - Stoner looks to recover folks :thumbup:

Ben Spies methond :hehe:
Why can't we have fun stuff like that in F1. Damn professionalism and stuffy sponsors. I want light heated virals and personalities, not corporate robots.

Anyways, rant aside. Decided to have a quick look at how Ben Spies is doing in superbikes, and :yikes: how many pole positions. That's insane, and its his first year. Ship him to Moto GP quickly.

You know i used to watched AMA and thought he was prety cool, i banged on his tee, but then i herd through his sponsors he was shipping to SBK. I watched Philip? He's a Bad Boy! . Then i have just cought up on the 4 races i have missed. He is in human like Rossi. Ship that boy in aswell on M1. Lorenzo v Spies V Rossi. Woo we would have a battle boys. He is amazing, i was watching a cheap production on his race and this guy went

" WTF, who the :censored: is Ben Spies "

:rofl:

Rossi of course. After a year or so Spies will probably be right up there with him I reckon.

Yeah, i was re-capping on the season again. Watching the spannish round? and he had a flaweless first race. Come second he made a major mistake. But later on he improved!! So i can see him making a fine champion. But he has the same in-human tatics as Rossi :P

How could you possibly come up with a result like that?

In the Mini formulas of bike racing Rossi took a few years to get to grisps. Spies has almost come in on his first rookie year of Major bike racing and dominated the first race? That is talent. Rossi is amazing. I cannot argue there, but Ben Spies is just double as amazing. In his outting at MotoGp he didn't do too bad, but if he came back again? He could do a top dog job. Comparing him to Rossi is a little far fetched, but he truly is brilliant.

because i am thinking logically.... firstly wait for him to join MotoGP before even saying he can compete on the same level as Rossi!

The level of Rossi can be broke down into
Stoner, Hayden, Lorenzo & Rossi obviously. The people that have beat him, also Biaggi is on his level and in which Spies has beat him.

Stoner Hayden Lorenzo are not on his level! are you serious? Spies hasnt even ridden a MotoGP bike yet youre already making outlandish claims... its like Saying Piquet Jnr was awesome in GP2 so would take it to Schumacher!!!

The men he has been beaten by are on his level. like Capirossi? That was his biggest threat in 250cc. As even he says, e s been lucky by getting the best bike at the right time. Lorenzo is on his level? He could win the title. He has out smarted him on numerous occasions. Stoner has beat him hands down in one season and has beat him this season. Hayden was an awesome challenge to him and beat him to the title. They are or were on his level. Spies has been in MotoGp. For Suzuki in 2008! not a very good outting but he quallified 6th in a Suzuki! He is very talented and put him on the Yamaha R1. He could challenge, plus watch the first SBK race. He won his first rookie race!
