More bother than he is worth  off track is the general opinion on Ben.

Apart from the fact he didn't want to ride for us for most the season and his bikes broke down more than made it... but yes he did have his entertaining moments... but I'd much rather have someone like Paul Starke or Matty Wethers on a much smaller average... or Rene Bach on a similar one

Barker’s talent should have seen him be a top man consistently at this level at least. Best years were probably 2011/12.

Seems to be content now being a journeyman on a 7 ish point average.

I quite enjoyed watching barker on track last season as you never new what you would get on track and was a bit of an enigma and better equipment might of helped the cause.His off track antics did him no favours whatsoever but would I have him back it  would be a no.However I would like to see Connor Mountain back in 2022

‘Better equipment’ is a term that has followed him around for years, along with quite a few others I may add. Normally those riders also have an ‘attitude’ problem as well :D
