ML512 - I listened to this interview on the way home from work this afternoon and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, for several reasons.  

First, it was straight up honest.  The part where Larry points out that he was acutally scared when they signed Roczen was honest and definitely an interesting take from his perspective.

Second, there was alot of good inside information - hearing how Suzuki may finally be starting to send over some information, technology and parts from Japan to this Suzuki team was cool.

Lastly, I was really impressed with the way Larry interviewed.  The guy was articulate and he did something alot of people don't do.  He genuinely listened to the question, formulated an intelligent response and actually aswered the question thoroughly where you weren't wanting more or left wondering. So many times the answers to questions end up going off on a tangent, or inadvertently don't actually get answered by the time the interviewee gets done talking.  Larry was straightforward and answered everything like a veteran.

Just a really cool interview

Larry is one of my favorite people to chat with in the pits. I got to know Larry when working for Ross Maeda, as I assisted on a couple of projects Ross has done for Larry. He's always given me the time of day, whether I just want to run a tech idea by him or ask him what's going on with whatever or whoever he's working with. He's a straight shooter, always.
