Hasn't Cue released the Ride365 gear line now?

I can't see how this would work with Seven.

James owns Seven. So I doubt he has a contract with himself. Even if he does he could get out of it. Or he could continue to wear seven and maybe only represent the ecommerce side of ride365.

James Stewart in his Seven gear(a company that he founded and owns) with Ride365 logos on the jersey/bike/semi?

I can't see how that would ever become a reality if Ride365 will continue with selling their gear.

If we're just speculating on how it would be possible for this to come together then I'd say James would wear seven gear, (which ride365 is a retailer for) and Malcolm could wear ride365 or seven. Semi is wrapped with both ride365 and seven or two semi's are wrapped, one in ride365, one seven. James might be putting $$ into the deal to help. I dont see it being too far fetched to the extent its unbelievable and the optimist in me is hoping its true b/c I'm a fan of cue, and the Stewart's. But this is all just speculation for seeing how it could work out right...

The Stewart brothers could still wear Seven gear if they rode for RIDE365.com / Honda. The gear line and the website are separate companies.

From a RacerX interview:

"You guys even have your own gear line as well. Take me through the process behind starting that and having it coincide with the launch of the website as well.

Our gear line is actually called 365 MX. It’s not RIDE365 gear. It will be sold on our website but it’s just called 365 MX. It’ll be hopefully out in July or August. Dayton and I have been working really hard on that. Dayton especially; he’s been staying up until the wee hours of the morning to talk to people. It’s insane the amount of work he’s put in. I’m always really picky about what I wear so whenever we started thinking about doing this that was kind of my thing. I’ve always said if you can’t be fast you better look fast. So I think that’s a pretty cool thing and hopefully it goes over good."

RIDE365.com is also an authorized Seven dealer:

Ride365.com and 365motocross.com ( Gear ) aren't the same thing.. so it could work...

Hmm

If you consider the odd invitation of Brett Cue to the 2017 CRF450R intro - the only not journalist invited and him talking about why Honda called him and that he would take a Honda ride. Could add to the conspiracy theory.

Maybe they were bringing Cue to the Honda intro to get press and start loading the gun for another announcement.
At the end of the video you see a Ride365 ad and you see Seven flashed on the screen, even though 365 is a gear company but they also sell other product. The subplot continues!!!!!! And maybe there was a reason Stewart did NOT show up to his own 2017 gear launch?

There is absolutely no way James would be caught wearing anything other than seven gear. I mean come on guys... Think if you yourselves had started a gear company, I'm estimating the company (seven) is worth millions based on whatever profits it's made and it's cost to start up and step away from TLD, costs to continue producing and so on etc. That's too big to step away from 5 years after inception regardless if it's a success or not.

One interesting thing is that if the Stewart's go to Ride365, I could see a business opportunity for Seven adopting 365mx and keeping them separate but like sister companies that share. Similar to Fox having Shift as a sister company

The 7 and the 47 are still on the tarmac. Getting time to push back from the gate.

I'm estimating that "Seven" is in the hole financially, unless there is value in speculation. :-)Blink

But Chaparral isn't a gear company. They stand to benefit from sponsorship through retail brand awareness across all lines of moto related items.

But a title sponsor of a certain gear brand, that team riders don't wear, just seems contradictory. For instance, wouldn't it be weird if the title sponsor of a team was Fox racing and their riders wore Thor? I guess its possible that there's something going on behind the scenes that could have a tie in.

Are you saying Ocelot is Chaps in-house brand?

Ocelot was/is their "in house" brand.

I love how people are acting like Brett Cue is the decision make for Crossland/Ride365. Also he is shaking down the 17 450 for the new team? Come on people.

Chris Crossland is the guy with the money and the legitimate business man. These guys might get to sit at the table, but Chris is calling all the shots. Also if this is true I would expect to see them on 16's because it has been stated many times that bikes and factory parts are limited for the new bike due to the issues in Japan.

Maybe they, 365 and seven are about to become 1 company!

I wonder specifically what parts are allegedly unavailable. Does anyone know? I would think it would be in Honda's best interest to get them both on the new bike. Honda is a ginormous company, I have a hard time believing that they have the resources to get the bike available to the public and get two bikes ready for A1 but don't have the resources to get the Stewarts on the same equipment.
