Will Honda make him run the #1 plate next year?
Hehe, I think RC would tell them where to shove it. There'd be a small standoff, & Honda would lose, realizing that RC is even bigger than MC was, and could (shall we say) "take his business elsewhere". :p
Look at MC now from the following perspective: He's the biggest guy in SX history. Can you think of a number you would most associate with him? And I mean besides "1", as "1" isn't marketable and usually only associated with the top guy "last season", and subsequently switches hands.
Meanwhile, we've got Brownie trying to reinvent Fro's 3 (and shaping the numbers after NASTYCAR #3 Earnhart (barf)). :eek: Can you imagine some idiot in about 5-10 years earning a #4 and butchering it with subpar racing? :uh:
