Butcher Bergs

[Johnny B]

Shit I'll give one to Yates for ya! Yates got the full story on "Butcher Bergs" today in the hour long ride from Milwaulkee to Road America. We had a good laugh over it and since he's a hard charger himself he gave some props.

He should know, he's had his share at Loudon.
Here's a good question, Alex. Despite all of the BS actions taken by the factory boys at Loudon in 2001, I suspect that Aaron really liked our track. Interesting stat (With 1 blemish) was that he won a race at Loudon five years in a row, each time in a different class! (H-D 883, Endurance, 750 SS, 600 SS, Superbike.) The glitch was that the 600 SS win was taken away for a Passing On The Waving Yellow infraction.
So Alex, would Aaron race at Loudon (current track) if he had the chance?

Hrm. Good question. I'll ask him tomorrow. We were talking about the LRRS weekend, my racing, the track, the infield, the new track rumor, etc during the car ride. See what he says to your question.

I always room with Jason Pridmore and we were also discussing the track and the LRRS weekend. He wants a new track and to see the AMA back at Laconia but he wouldn't want to run the old track!

O man, squirrel and now the butcher are both having stickers! I need to think up something cool

btw- I agree, butcher bergs is pretty much the best nickname in the land and it should be embraced by all

I've grown to love this thread, Kitt.

Got me a spiffy new name and a new logo to boot...

yea... my nicknaming skills are ok.

I think you should file a protest that Bergs made a close but clean pass and is called the butcher, while you run into the person and punt them off track, and you're still just Seth.

[Kitt]

clean pass

[Pittenger5]

I dont want Bergs to be mad at me again.

I see that 10x's a weekend at Loudon in T3. Heck I do it at least 3x's a weekend in T3!

[SVRACER01]

it was a decent move. i kinda think yates forced it but i think blake crashed because they got tangled up. yates seemed to run a little wide which makes me think his handlebar was hung up on blakes bike.

"Punter"

"Cuntpunt"

"Dirty punter"

"Hey that is how they do it on the motocross track, how was I to know road racing is different"

this is probably the best suitable sticker for you

I've done that a few times in turn 3.

It works better when you stay upright, though.

Ask Anthony Farnia about butcher Yates.

Footage doesn't show the drop-kick though.

Geez, and you guys talk about stunters being hooligans. That guy is just as big of a douchebag for that move and his little temper tantrum.

That kind of stuff is exactly why I'll never set tire on a track.

Yah, I dont ever do anything if one assholes done it before.

[SRTie4k]

I'm talking more about treating the noobs like fodder.

[Pittenger5]

Thats called a "pass"
I've had 3 people hit me already this year. Its racing. Afterwards we laugh about it. No ones trying to hurt anyone.

[kamikaze]

19.4 and yes.


hatchet - Thanks man!

a13x - Thank you for the props....I've been working my ass off with this bike and I'm really happy it's starting to show.

Good job Bergs! All the best for this season.

how have you been? Sorry I was not in touch, but any podiums so far? Did you sell the FZ?

The weekend of my penguin school last year I had a rider attempt a late pass on the outside of 9 and not make it by before we flopped. He had a greater lean angle than I and we ended up bumping off each other a few times. The session ended a few laps later and I headed back to my pit. Before I could even get my helmet off the guy was in my pit apologizing profusely for the late pass and bumping me. He even came by with a cold beer later that night and apologized again.

You should definitely give racing a try at Loudon.
