PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE VIDEOS

It seems we are all searching our minds for precedent as to why Reed got the black flag. Post videos or descriptions of incidents that you think deserved the black flag.

Reed and Stewart in Atlanta. Stewart pushes Reed into Regal, Stewart's teammate. Reed cuts under a triple and takes them both out. Reed finished in front of Stewart and neither party is black flagged.

I will just post one. I assume Alessi's move on Tickle will be posted first

Wow Reedy really is a fucking dick head. Everyone and their dog would have heard him cry for a month if the shoe was on the other foot. Maybe Stewart shouldn't have concentrated on racing forward and instead should have taken reed out outta anger

Canard was regrouping, riding slow, adjusting his goggles with one hand off the bars when... Chad took him out! Show me multiple racing video's of THAT happening. I'll bet you fuggin' can't.

KW blows out DV.
Multiple occasions of Barcia taking people out on purpose.
McGrath taking out Stewart.
Mookie taking out Barcia at Daytona
Hansen taking that rider into the tough blocks and into the mechanics area.
Alessi straight up Torpedoing Tickle.
The entire LCQ race should be eliminated.


If we're talking about DQing people for intentional takeouts where they had no plan other than putting the rider on the ground then all those should've been.

I tried to locate it on YouTube but couldn't. Where barcia took out a rider on the start straight sweeper. Intentionally went out wide and hit him, not a racing move at all.

if Canard would have had both hands on the bars, this wouldn't have happened.

The truth is that you just have to let some of these battles be settled on the track. Deciding what is considered too much is very hard to determine. So there will always be someone pissed.

so if you run into someone because they are holding you up and they come back and run you off the track, its ok?

Do you honestly think that deserves a black flag? No way, just no. Main event, last lap and for the win. No

Remember the 88' Pontiac silverdome go to 6:57 " Lady's and Gentlemen welcome to motorcycle demolition derby"~Hoffman at 7:53)



This kind of racing has been in affect since the beginning of Moto racing, then things got a little tame when MC was kicking everybody's ass and now we are seeing it come back with the racing being so close.

Black flag needs to go, no reason for it as I see except when somebody who thinks they can race at a PRO level and is a hazard to all around.

I honestly think if tickle got up there and cleans out alessi on purpose. everyone would be cheering tickle on what a great move . and he would not of got a black flag .
90% would.... I agree.

If the FIM would black flag Reed, anyone can get black flagged. Reed's move was not a racing incident

The Alessi move on tickle is one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen. Not sure how Reed could get black flagged and NOT Alessi for that move.
