Good interview over at Transworld. Interesting to hear he turned down the Star Ride because he didn't want to ride for free. He sounds in good spirits and i think we will see a very good Bear next year.http://motocross.transworld.net/news/tyler-bowers-joining-51fifty-energy-for-2017/#WH0R8F1U21d7Xb6F.97

I didn't realize that he broke his leg and separated his shoulder last year.
He should have had the JGR Suzuki ride IMO
Two sides to every story.
I was not aware of his tax problem. That has to be horrible.
Pit Row
Kinda odd but I got an e-mail saying someone quoted my comment above but the comment isn't in the thread now. Was there some sort of cleanup for some reason?
Wilson will clear six figures next year with zero salary from Yamaha, should he finish the series. Gear contract, Goggle contract, Energy Drink/Helmet contract, misc promotional deals, performance bonuses, ETC will all have him over 100 grand with zero base salary from Yamaha. (But you can bet he will get paid some base salary)
The other side of it is that he may spend a large majority of that annual income being a professional motocross racer living in CA/FL. I think that is what some of these guys are implying when they throw around phrases like 'ride for free'. It costs money to be a Top 10 450 SX guy.
But it's funny how he gets name dropped at the end of each show hahaha
