So I may have missed this. (been busy)

1. James is officially going to L&M Indian Yami's and RV is taking over his ride?

2. The 250 2T is getting moved back to the 450 class?

Please enlighten me.

1 was just talk. But they made it sound like it was straight from Racer X ill.

2 came from a fairly good source and I was told it was only done in the first place to clear off the shelfs. Now that is done so there putting them back at a disadvantage to kill them off. Kinda makes sence and I've seen it stated here before to but it still sucks.

He also said that the district officials have already decided on it. Now that don't mean its final cause to my knowledge he is only tied with the local district officials.

At this piont at AMA amature events the 250 2t is legal in the 250 class.

So 250 4t run against 250 2t

#1 is a done deal. He took what was first offered to Reed.

And I think that is the dumbest thing AMA did.

no the dumbest was putting the 125 2t with the 250 4t. I agree that the two 250 are not equal. I have a 250 2t that is built to run with the 450's and running that against the 250 4t's is a joke.

But a stock 250 2t and 4t are mutch closer and any advantage I've seen is lost to the fact that not too many kids that are trying to take advantage of them are very good in the cornners. and if you can't corner it will only be worse on a 250 2t.

it's not that he took it from Reed, he was offered it period and the bikes just fell into place recently. They could have been team mates if you think about it....

I have also heard they are doing away with the 250 2T vs 250 4t.

I think AMA needs to get there things straight. They are trying to make everything go 4T but now they allow 250 2T in the 250 4T class. anyone that knows how to ride a 250 2T will dominate against 250 4T.

Jordan421 are you fishing or did you miss the 10000 post (all 5+ pages) on this issue.

Cool for James. Now did Reed refuse the offer or is he just doing his own thing? So L&M is riding Yamahas next year?

It is my understanding that Reed reponded late so L&M went elsewhere.

I have no conformation on that though.

I didnt say he took it from Reed. They offered it to Reed and he wanted more, not very complicated.

oh I'm sorry how I stated that but you are wrong either way, they were supposed to be teammates, it was offered to both riders, James took it Reed didn't, that's all I meant to say.

I have heard that anyone who rides L & M has to be supercross only, so thus james would be supercross only unless they change their policies. I really who he is not sx only

I know that you think you know all and you probably heard from Reed or one of the other many names that you consistently drop, but your wrong on this one. Reed told them no so they went to James and he took the deal that was offered to Reed. You cant spin it any other way. Once Reed tried to get more money they didnt counter they just went to James.

Reed is doing the same thing now with two other teams and if he keeps it up he will be lucky to have a ride next year. Of course he will spin it and say he is retiring.

Things are tough in the "industry" right now.

It won't be long before the factories ditch their racing programs in a cost saving move.

I heard that one team that made an offer to a top rider had to withdraw the offer after upper management found out.

They will realize JS and CR don't sell gas sipping scooters and commuter motorcycles.

There is a limit on how much casino and energy drink money there is out there.

LIke I said before I am glad to be able to drop names, I love this industry and am glad to be apart of it. I don't talk to reed, I heard it from the person who helped put the whole package together, you are wrong, but don't take it personal cause I'm not =)
