As a racer and yearly buyer of your products... It is my opinion that your riders owe it to "us", the motocross community, to have your riders race the outdoor nationals!!

Out of curiousity, what exacly does L&M produce that you are a yearly buyer of?

Are you saying that once a year you turn into a degenerate and go gambling the house away?

This place is getting dumber by the day.

Listen jerk off... I buy 3 Yamahas every year not to mention all of the gear, oil, tires, chains, etc... I am just saying that I think that all the riders owe it to us, the true fans, to ride the outdoors.

Would you also recommend they pull all amatuer support & contingency monies in order to have the funds needed to run a team and pay the riders to run the nationals? Not sure where else the funds can possibly come from to make it happen.

I "get" that it would be great if the best riders competed in both supercross and the outdoors, but the economic realities of just how bad sales are right now and just how expensive it is today to operate a team (and I am not just taking about rider salaries), I can easily understand the "cost vs return" dilema not only manufacturers but also gear and accessory producers face in this economic climate.

Support your favorite riders loudly, support your favorite brands with your check book, and support our sport by looking at the positives we have going for us right now....and this season there is plenty to cheer about! To me there is nothing wrong with having a favorite rider in the supercross series and different one for the outdoors.

Doesn't the M guy have something to do with oil fields? In that case, he buys gasoline so yes, he does buy stuff they produce.

So...

No one should buy:

Yamaha
Red Bull
Answer
Nike
Oakley
Pro-Taper
GYT-R
Dunlop
Bell
One Industries
Ackropovic
Etc., etc., etc.

Jus' because you want certain riders to race the Nat's?

Good luck with that.

How about this...?

How about you and all your friends fill up a couple-or ten-or twenty chartered busses and get that party out to the Nat's and put up a HUGE F'n Banner sayin'... "Where's JS7?" ...or WHOEVER it is you're wanting to see out there? K-Dub? Hill?

PUT YOUR ANGST INTO ACTION!

Hell, hit DC up for a GROUP RATE while you're at it!

I'll PAY FOR THE BANNER!

I'm jus' sayin'...
