This is an interesting interview. Great to see an Aussie doing so well in the American series.

Note his comments on how bikes have changed, and how things that they've tried in the past to correct certain handling characteristics don't necessarily apply any more.

Never quite understood why that guy isn't a household name in Australia.......Most of us motorcyclists are aware but surely his achievements deserve more recognition.

Mainly because Australians don't really follow the AMA which he just dominates, shame he didn't move to world superbikes.
