Thanks for that post jackal. Interesting and informative. It's great to see Ant taking this so seriously - hopefully kawasaki (and other teams) take note of that when they consider who they sign next year.

Well I guess there will be lots of Ant fans at Turn 1 at The Island cheering him on!!
I'll be there~!!!
Ill be at P.I! Dunno about turn 1 ;) but ill def be cheering the green ant on..
But isn't that where Ant would like all his Fans to be?? Turn 1?? :confused:
You'll love it at Doohan corner, Jake. That is where the Kawasaki Sports Riders Club member reside so you'll have plenty of Ant West support behind you. :up:Quote:

What is it about Ant West?
He's never won a championship and is probably one of the unluckiest riders I can remember with his team choices.
Yet for some reason this post has been viewed more than any other on the board.
If it was a post about either of the Troy's, Casey, Muggers, Chris V or any other Aussie rider it certainly wouldn't have been viewed over 13,000 times.
Why does Ant get so much interest?
I suspect it may have something to do with us Aussies loving to cheer for the underdog, and as you point out, Ant has suffered a lot of bad luck in terms of the rides he gets - which just adds to the underdog factor.Quote:

Spot on burger. Ant represents little Aussie battler, nothing has been handed to him, he has earned everything he's got. And if he ever starts winning races, look out!Quote:
