DuHamel is back for another seaosn on the Honda team. His team-mate will be Jake Zemke for 2005.	New paddock euphemism for the act of cashing big checks but not racing Superbike--'flipping burgers'. The Kawasaki team stares at their new stove, ah, bike.	Jake Zemke will have former Fred Merkel and Ben Bostrom tuner Merlyn Plumlee guiding his title assult in 2005.	Yates, his crewchief and others are stunned to see a laptop with an actual trackball.
Aaron Yates looks to put 2004 behind him and push on in 2005. He'll be riding the new GSX-R in both Superbike and Superstock.	Al Ludington explains the 'Live Free or Die' tat' story again.	It was a virtual cornucopia of parts at the Honda pits yesterday as they tested Ohlins and Showa suspension, Nissin and Brembo brakes, and various other parts.	Whoops.
