Looming Bombshell: Bostrom Signs With Austin Ducati?! Ben Bostrom?!

Hi, fancy me back on a Ducati do you?
World Superbike sources are linking the vacant Austin Ducati ride to American Ben Bostrom for 2006, which, if true, means the very popular former US Superbike champion will not be returning to World Superbike but will instead race in America in 2006.

Neither the Ducati Corse nor Ben Bostrom camps will confirm or deny that Bostrom will sign for the spot (recently vacated by his brother) in the US.

Perhaps Ebos will head back to WSB?

Both bostroms are garbage.

Another useless post by Twisty.

2 wheel tuner, please refrain from personal attacks here. As far as I know, the Bostroms aren't members here, but twisty is.


Edit: By the way, this is official now. Bostrom and Hodgson on the Austin Ducati's for 06. Its hard to look at it twisty's way becuase Eric and Ben are definitely some of the "nicest" guys in the paddock, but when you cut down to just the racing they haven't done much for quite some time now, save a couple race wins here and there for Eric.

i always like EBOZ. you had to give him credit for making the ancient ZX7R look competitive against superior machines.

I guess if it's okay to randomly bash professional riders on the forum for no reason then I am in the wrong. But from a political standpoint, I'd rather be the company standing up for a Bostrom than a forum member with a poor attitude. Twisty's reputation has been less than stellar on here, hence the reason he's been banned repeatedly.

If I was an owner of this forum, I would be downright embarassed to have forum members making comments like Twisty did. Doesn't do much for the reputation of the forum in the motorcycle community, or industry - i.e. the people that allow the bills to be paid.

Just an observation from someone who points a lot of people to this site on a daily basis. I don't want to be embarrassed by the forum, and I don't want to see the forum lose vendors and members from that type of nonesense.

Austin Ducati has made a real showing. It should be interesting to see what they can do this coming season.
