It must be true. Badger says

Yes it's me. The Badger is back.
The Badger sett's phone has been red hot the past forty-eight hours.
Rather than news of a tasty outbreak of root grubs or the imminent arrival of jack russells, the talk has all been about BSB and the signing-up of Noriyuki Haga San's services. Fans will indeed think this is the dog's borrocks. It's true. It's happening, Haga will be in BSB in 2012*.
The chances are, Haga will ride for a European team on either Ducati or Aprilia tackle - but that really is just a wild guess. Allegedly, Haga's salary is being funded in part by Jonathan Palmer's MSV, the BSB series organiser.
Badger has some concerns about this news. Can Nori be bothered with a damp Wednesday afternoon test session at Mallory in March? Will he be able to see BSB as anything other than a backward step?
What will he make of the circuit-side hot food stalls?
The questions may be as yet unanswered but one thing's for sure - he should be able to adapt to the traction control ban OK.
