Forty years ago, Team Honda arrived on the American motocross circuit with a brand new motorcycle: the game-changing Elsinore CR250. Page 170.
Look for the verified symbol

Go Go on that Jit-Boat!
I would be great to see BT101 do well this weekend and not get hurt, one hell of a guy!
What is the song?

There isn't a guy that diserves a ride more. cummon BT, podium it. Make some dough. Hopefully he gets a ride. Suzuki or Hart n huntington. maybe Two Two. Rather see him doing things for mitch , thats where he'll do best. Get it ben. seems strange Wayne's gonna wrench for him
Comon BT!! do us kiwis proud!! your the man, good luck, hope this builds for better things, hope to see you in the US 2012!! the country's behind you buddy, think you should ride Windhams bike for the outdoors!! or back on PC450!!
The guy has had a pretty rough career in the AMA, hopefully he can turn some heads this weekend and get a ride, like Organ Doner said it would be cool to have him on the Two Two team, but I don't know if that will happen. Good luck BT101
i seen what hes capable of on a supercorss track in 2007 i think it was winning that coast title, and from what i feel i pretty stacked field and then going on to go 1 and 2 or 2 and 1 all season long for moto wins with villipoto before just getting edged out by via what i bileave 1 and 1 scores on the final race so the guy was destined to be great, he just needs a solid program and to stay healthy, im sure the industry feels that way to but now wonder can he do it anymore. im cheering for him for ATLEAST a podium. realistic
Go BT 101. Watched BT and Josh Coppins race in Europe when I lived there. both have had some s#$t bad luck. Hopefully luck is looking down on you this weekend. BT deserves to do well. Keep it upright and I'm sure he stands as good a chance as anyone else who is turning up.
Larry and Mc, I'd be giving BT a ride over short!!
What a minute, could it be!? is that the new PC 450 ive been hearing about??
Actually, I'd be giving BT a ride over Grant, Short, Milsaps and pretty much over anyone else that doesn't have a ride. Maybe not over JS, just maybe. I'd have gone with him over Brayton Honda.
looks loyke the boykes sispinchin iz doyailed ein royght!
Go Ben
Darkhorse. Give ol Villi a Run for that $
Would love to see this guy kick some ass on saturday.. What a come back story that would be! Go BT101!!!
i think if anyone will suprise people at the cup it will be town!
No way would I give him a ride over Brayton, I think Brayton will prove to be a good move. Honda didnt want to keep paying guys to sit on the couch and heal up. Which is where BT has been ALOT..
How many championships does brayton have? or will get hmmmmm...
good to see BT101 back on a bike and feeling good. When he is on he can be dangerous.
Great to see BT back in the zone...he's got the speed and the talent he just needs a good team and faith to ease him back into USA....i don't care where he places in MEC..its just great to see he's returned..and given time he's got some unfinished business in the states...Go BT101..Best of luck
would be cool to see Townley comback
