Ok.....this is not a bash thread on James! I am usually one of the guys here that likes to throw the guy under the bus , but this is not what I'm doing here.
I was just reading through a lot of these Concussion threads , and it dawned on me , that maybe James might have suffered from one those wrecks he had in the SX series? He took a couple of extremely hard hits ( Especially Daytona ) , and I'm wondering if that may be the reason why he isn't ( one of the reasons ) running the nationals?
Think about this for a second.......remember last week when he posted something on twitter , about " Having something really big getting ready to happen in his life"....or something to that affect? I know I have no proof , and it's just a wild guess......but maybe he is being forced to stay off the bike right now?
Thoughts?
FWIW......after reading the thread on what MA800 might be going through , that's when it dawned on me about James. I hope we don't lose either one of these guys like we did Hepler and Pastrana.

When he went 24-0 how much did that cost Kawi. I bet Kawi was happy Stewart won that outdoor title but going 24-0 cost them a ton of money?
IMO, That had a lot to do with Kawi not signing him. Every team wants a winner at the races but not a guy that can win them all.
Thats my thoughts anyway.
MC never got close to what those three guys got. Honda lucked out with MC. He was pre big big money

Apparently you weren't watching at the peak of the big contract, big endorsement days when Carmichael and Stewart were at the top.

How about this one: Sting wrote the song "Every Breath You Take" for the 1983 Police album Synchronicity. That was about 28 years ago. Today he makes about $3000 every day from the royalties from that song..

Years ago in an RC article in RX, they were in general talking about $$ and RC said he would put his bank account up against anyone's in the sport.
They didnt get into specifics.
At the end of the day, does it matter to any of us? None of anyones business.
I am impressed with how the contracts in this sport are super duper top secret and no one talks.
MC has been on record saying he was getting something like &6500 win bonuses from Honda, then with Yamaha it went to $50K.
I'm sure all the front runners are doing very well.
Wonder what Mitch pays his guys, I've heard its more incentive based??
