Spies and Bostrom as "teammates"

A nice article here http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2008/Dec/081204a.htm about Ben Bostrom and Ben Spies being able to hang out in Moab as Yamaha "teammates" and friends instead of pit lane adversaries. Bostrom has always been full of good stories, but I'd never heard much about Spies' off-track life. Nice to see the human side, away from the cutthroat competition of Mladin and Suzuki.

Bostrom caught something moving in his peripheral vision. Eyes blurry with dirt and sweat, he squinted and saw a cowboy, sitting on a hillside, seemingly waiting for him to arrive. The cowboy got up and started walking his mountain bike down the embankment. Suddenly Bostrom realized, "That's not a cowboy, that's Ben Spies...."
