I would love for Dungey to go to Two Two on a Honda!! I think it would suit him well. Please don't go to KTM!!

It sure is nice to see the candor in Reed's interviews. Look forward to seeing him get his mojo back.

Bubba to twotwo now that would be a big deal!

I want to se 800 on a TwoTwo bike next year, but the only thing that would turn the industry on it head IMO is if he signed JS7.

Seems very unlikely but could the new 250 champ be a possibility? They seem to have a new bond and it would be big.

Redbull/JSE/Two-Two motorsports with Reed and JS7. OMG, that would be fucking awesome. I have dreamed about seeing Bubba on a Honda.

I could definitely see Roczen riding for Reedy's team AFTER his KTM contract is up... but I don't see KTM letting him get away so easy, he won a world title for them and he is gonna win the SX Lites title too, so they will wanna keep him.

I agree with this statement....even though it sounds almost impossible. What other rider out there could he hire to "Turn the industrie upside down "? There are other options out there that would make waves , like hiring J-law ( doubt it....he has no drive ) or someone like that.

The weird thing is.....I just don't see Reed hiring someone who would be a threat to a SX championship that he wants. Another weird thing to think about is this.........who is Brooks and McGrath hiring?........the rumor was a "Single digit rider"....who the hell could that be?

thats a little over the top even for Vital. The truth is he's taking over the factory Honda team, will be him and Canard on Factory Honda two two motorsports, riding suzuki 450's.

Thats right factory Honda are going to be on Suzuki's next year. Book mark this!!!!Wink

Hut....I believe Wilson still has one more year on his PC contract with Mitch. I COULD see that happening in a year from now though.

IT9 would be possible.....but I still think him and Reed don't care very much for each other. Mike Brown.....I don't think so hehe. He's happy with the Worcs stuff from what I understand.

Dungy to 22 is somewhat possible since Gosselar is supposed to be going there? Of course these guys are reading these threads and laughing at us anyway

I'm laughing my ass off......and I have no idea what the hell i'm even talking about. Pretty much all speculation right now. Even Reed mentioned to Nerd that the Honda deal was still up in the air and he had no way of answering it honestly.

James and Chad were getting pretty chummy at one point during SX... would certainly turn the industry upside-down.

True.....but why would either one of them want to be on the same team though? Don't get me wrong....it would be cool as hell! But if both are fighting for an SX championship......I would hate to be an employee inside the big rig after some of these races. Those two find each other like super glue to skin.

Reeds a different guy than he was a few years ago. James could learn a thing or a thousand from Reed right now. But, yeah ego's won't let this happen. But, I see it being a bigger benefit to James. He needs someone to help guide him in the right direction. The dude is lost right now.

I agree Ron. I think Reed has established himself as being one of the "Vet riders" in the class and a lot of guys look up to him. I do think he hired Ferry to help him with bike setup.....because I honestly don't think James knows sqaut about setting up a bike....so that "should" help. Again , it would be really cool to see Reed and Stewart put their difference aside , but I think they both have a little to much fire in them to let the other guy win. They both want that plate.......which could turn ugly. One other thing......even if they aren't on the same team......it will still be weird seeing them both on Suzukis though. If that happens.

I saw Reed and MA talking to eachother on the parade lap and maybe practice too. Don't know if it means anything. But I think Reed is bringing Byrne along to team 22.

See like Byrne, Alessi, Metty...they all make sense. What is so confusing is the whole turning the industry upside down thingy. Those riders are just good riders, expected to be needing teams, nothing industry shaking what so ever.

Industry shakers would be like...Dungey, Stewart, or someone who has a contract already sealed or something.
