Jamie Hacking to Kawi

[Keepitgreen]

Just catching up on my news and found that Jamie "The Hacker" Hacking is moving across to Kawasaki. I figure that he is mainly gonna do the Supersport, but has anyone heard if he might be doing another class for Kawi?:turtle:

Jobi,

He's going to be competing in SS and SBK I believe. In testing, he was already faster than Roger, so we'll see. He's not my favorite rider, but he is damn fast.

As long as there is some good racing I am OK with it.
So.... uh... you wanna sell your gas tank?

[green_zx7r]

I think Hacking will make it more interesting. He's pretty aggressive. That's part of why I don't like his ass.

Regardless, what did you do to your gas tank???

[Keepitgreen]

Nothing wrong with my tank, just have an idea and need another one to play with.. If you hear of one that is cheap, keep me in mind. I am always looking on ebay and have just missed out on a few. I can fix little dings with epoxy, but can't pay close to full price for one.

im pretty sure its his second run at kawasaki, or they offred him a bundle to ride kawis. i dont get it? he won 2 titles with yamaha.

[green_zx7r]

Yamaha pretty much dumped him. They couldn't offer him a superbike spot despite his incredible 2 championships he won in SS and Superstock. Hacking's goal is now to take a shot at the SBK title, and I'm sure he would have loved to do it with the R1.
They already signed with DiSalvo and EB for SBK though, so he took Tommy's spot.
Like I said, I don't like Hacking, but for his sake, I hope he shows Yamaha that they should have dumped the midget and kept his ass. I think Hacking and EB would be a much stronger team in SBK.

[Keepitgreen]

MMMMM..... SBK..... I don't like Bayliss... If Hacking was there it might have been pretty scappin', hell, with EB it will be if he's got the right machine for the job.
