Here's my conspiracy theory.......After Houston, James has given up trying to make Yami work (because his daddy told him that). So, James is going to Butler Bros for outdoors.
Look at it the big picture.................James contract with Yamaha 'technically' will end in May, but his contract with JGR is until 2014. James loved the Suzuki. Suzuki sponsors Butler and Butler is outta Flo-rida and uses JGR for their motorbikes. So, technically James can ride for JGR still, but on the Suzi under a Butler tent, or similar.

I like it!

I thought we banned the use of the term vitard, since it is offensive to legitimate retards?

i thought it was banned because it demeans VtialMx? Calling someone a "vitard" is more demeaning to the site then it is the retard.

JGR signed a 3 year deal and is dedicated to Yamaha, Suzuki is a competitor against Toyota which is JGR's biggest sponsor in nascar and mx. So that would never happen.

JGR signed a '3 year exclusive deal with Yamaha', James didn't. James signed a 3 year deal with JGR. Butler uses JGR for engine and/or suspension. So, James (on a Suzuki) is still a rider of JGR, not Toyota. James never signed a contract with Toyota, to my knowledge.
So you ask, 'that will never happen'? NO SHIT, but it was fun to concoct that theory. It would be sweet to see it fold out like that that is for damn sure!

This is 100% legit. Every team manager looks for a riders manager's number on Twitter. instead of using a phone. Soon they will be Tweetig contract negotiations all for us to see. AHHH the industry secrets are all a thing of the past.

JS7 must have signed something with Toyota.
Toyota USA was promoting it on facebook back when the deal was signed......
James "Bubba" Stewart joins the Toyota Family!...

You can ban something all you want, but it just keeps coming back. Sound familiar?

Why does James drive a Mini Cooper (which is owned by BMW) then? The BMW Group produces BMW and Husqvarna motorcycles? Wait James rides a Yamaha I thought?????

No, I think that pretty much puts a fork in JS7 for outdoors, and ya know what... maybe the rest of his life, at this point. Houston might be the last time we see that dude.

I hope not about the second part, but wouldn't be surprised.
When I saw him at Houston, I just had a bad feeling that I may not see him again. He didn't look right at all. Maybe outdoors, where you don't need so much precision, would be better for James than SX, but you also have to wonder if his doctors are saying, "Dude, you're done. You can't keep hitting your head like that."

As many injuries Short has received from riding Honda's over the years, why in the hell would he even consider the Yamaha with little to no factory support or R&D? Yamaha is like that overused and worn out honey badger, they just don't give a shit.

If all of this is true about the Supercross.com team folding/having sponsor issues/etc., CR22 has got to be rolling on the ground pissing and shitting himself. First, he has it out with LB and then McGrath says that Chad won't be successful with his own team. I think we can spell karma this week 'McBrooks'

Think about this fellas....If Shorty has no ride for the MX season. Maybe JGR is going to ask him to test the bike and get it ready for the MX season and possibly have him ride it.

Shorty had been known as a good test rider and if he doesnt have a team then he could be in a position to do that for JGR.

Odd, Stewart said he's doing OD, and GuyB hinted that as well. Are some suggesting Stewie after all won't do it? OH MY GOD, what a chocker...

Factory Honda have a spare bike. If his current ride is done, I wouldn't be surprised to see him there

I wouldnt be suprised if JGR wants out of the deal. All that loot to pay a guy thats on the ground all the time. Save some cash and get a rider that will be consistent and finish races.

Or perhaps Gibbs is gonna put James in a car earlier than expected? If so, hopefully he doesnt take out the entire field at the Daytona 500 Unsure

Both Brooks & McGrath have said they ARE running Nationals this year.

Also, For the last several weeks, there have been rumors that things are toxic behind the scenes with James and JGR. Maybe they have decided to call it quits.

Although, I'd say the likely scenario is James is hurt & can't ride outdoors.

I thought the only legitimate retards WERE Vitards? The others have a medically recognized and diagnosed condition. With an acceptable choice of non-offensive nomenclature attached to it.
