Still a nice bloke and an awesome rider, no matter what anyone thinks. Frankly, the TechIII bike was a pile of crap. And with everyone suffering dodgy tyres at sometime or other, it's no wonder he lost confidence. He also takes time to come see his fans, which is a lot more than a lot of riders would do. As one of the best riders from the UK in the last ten years, folks should take time out to meet him. Just my opinion...
