First he assures the fans, over and over that he will be racing the first 4 races outdoors MINIMUM. He even repeated it on Dave Despain's show for all the fans to see and hear. Then of course, he pulls out at the last minute and says "we're just not ready"
Then he says he's completely focused on getting ready to rule at the Monster Energy Cup and he pulls out at the last minute saying "we're just not ready". It's complete Bull Shit.
What about all the 'fans' who made travel arrangements and bought tickets etc. based on seeing James race this track designed by Ricky and Jeremy? he says he's all about the fans, well it sure doesn't seem like it.
Who gives a fuck how 'ready' you are, throw a bike in a truck and show up to the race. Stop the bull shit.
IMO if you are very close to signing with one of two teams for possibly years to come you better make sure you pick the bike to race with that you are going to sign with soon. Personaly I'm a fan of all the top guys for what they have done to get where they are at and not what they have done for me lately, if any of them wanted to race once a year or not at all I'm ok with that. I just try to look at things from all sides and understand I dont have copies of the contracts or all the facts.
Not making excuses, again I don't care if the guy ever races again, just stating my opinion.

I think this is all B.S ! I have never heard Stewart say he doesn't like the Yamaha ! It's all media B.S ! I twittered Mr pulpmx and asked if he heard Stewart say in person: I hate the Yamaha. The answer was short and simple: "No, doesn't need to". But still mr pulp mention Stewart and the bad Yamaha in most of his shows the last 4-5 weeks. That guy must be bitter on Yamaha or something like that !
Ive never heard any comments about the Yamaha itself, but I have heard comments about the KYB suspension. He wouldn't be the first person who rode a Yamaha to dislike it. I know when IT9 went from Factory Honda to Valli he demanded Showa suspension, even though he was getting GYTR parts from Factory Yamaha.
he's a beast, but i still totally resent a SX only contract. he could have made a run at GOAT but doesn't have the commitment/drive that RC did.
It's the wind or Stewart whisteling . Definitely not coming from the bike, that I can promise !
Oh wait ! Maybe it's the blue fender mounted on a Suzuki that is coming lose !!!???

Can't blame him, I'd do the same in his position. He's choosing the bike based on $$$, not performance. I think he knows he can't win a series with RV,RD and TC lining up against him at the same gate at the same time. After all, his titles on the big bikes were against Short and Reed. Those are the best guys he beat - ever. He never beat the likes of RC, RV or RD over a full series so why would he start now? Best make some money before he bows out. It's an auction.
Why is it that he figured out a way to shirk his Yamaha contractual obligations if he didn't hate the bike? I still say he wasn't out of the contract like he thought he was, and Yamaha is allowing him to save face and find a team to ride for (on Yamahas of course).
Has anyone stopped to think.....this guy has been doing nothing since MAY! That wasn't enough time to find a team to ride for? He had nothing else to do but figure out what he was doing for 2012, but he is still trying to figure it out? Everyone else that raced right up until a month ago are all set to go for A1, and he is the straggler? He could have spent the whole summer getting his own team together and lining up sponsors, could be teamed up with Alessi right now on a 2-man team on Suzukis. He could have done SX only and let Alessi do MX only. How the hell is he the last guy to have things lined up?
Jeremy knew how to wrench on a bike when James would smoke everyone on anything, regardless how it was setup (the 125s). That is James biggest problem, if he does not dominate he blames the bike. Pre-2011 he absolutely loved the Yamaha and had nothing but rhetoric about how he was going to smoke everyone. His stated goal was to dominate, not win the title, dominate. Imagine what happened to his head when RV ran him down from a 9th place start that time. James is the fastest man on the planet, so it must have been the bike, right? That's his thinking, anyway.
However, I don't think he will have any issue with money ever, since he will be in NASCAR in a few years and will make more money there than he ever did in MX. He will be the first prominent African-American there and it will be a huge deal, much bigger than his presence in MX is. Even if he never won a race there or was even competitive, the color of his skin will make him a huge factor. A prominent black driver in NeckCAR? Are you kidding? For the record, those guys don't charter private jets, they buy them.
An educated guess tells anyone with half a brain that James' paychecks will take a big hit this year and in the coming years (in MX).
Did you read the whole post or just stop after the first sentence?
