House's Role?

 What is Houseworth's role with the Yamaha WSBK team?  Is he an
official part of the team?  Is he in the personal employ of Spies?
Maybe he's just tagging along for an extended vacation since the jobs
in AMA Pro dried up?  He's always by Ben's side everytime we see him
on screen.  Just curious.

He's his crew chief, as I understand it. I read somewhere he was saying
he thought it would be pretty much a race-only deal, fly in and out,
live at home, that sort of thing, but that turned out not to be the
deal. I get the impression he's working out of the race shop and living
in Italy for the season, so a full-time employee of the race team. He's
a known commodity to Yamaha, remember that he was the crew chief here
after they dumped V&H and went in-house with the team.

Given how things have ended up in the AMA, I gotta believe he's very
happen where he is...

An interesting interview.

But, how far can we trust his answers?  I mean, at one point he talks
about 'walking round LA' - c'mon, we all know no one does that!
Didn't they even make it illegal?
