it's impossible that somebody would still even remotely debate the topic

Just playing Devils advocate,but could it be that some people only think James is giving it his all when he crashes? And when he doesn't crash they say he's just holding back and cruising? I don't know. I thought he looked GREAT! I thought Dungey looked off and the suspension looked a little ragged. And No way would Baggett's times be near his big Green brother RV's times had he been there and healthy ,IMHO. That being said,I'm glad James is back and happy on the Zook. Hope we get some good,clean,safe battles all summer long.

Last year in Hangtown the best time of the day belonged to Baggett. He beat everybody, including 450`s.

I didn't know that. Did the 250's run second again last year,like they did this year?

Yes. And he did it on a second to last lap.

A confident James, is a fast Bubba. Whether it was the Yamaha, or in is head, who cares! Hope Dungey gets comfortable and picks up the pace. Heck, want Villipodium out there too. Still, it looks like a summer of great racing. 24 and Oh? Please, "NO".

Who wants to watch that? Thirty second leads from dynasty riders aren't any fun to watch. Yes, they're exciting, but they're not any fun. Sport needs diversity, 7-9 guys that are capable of running up front. Think that is coming to fruition with the semi departure of Factory teams.

Still like to see more of a production rule. Think it would equal the field up quite a bit.

James didn't get along with the Yamaha like Reed didn't get along with the Kawasaki. It doesn't mean the Yamaha is bad, it just didn't suit him. I remember when everyone was raving about the 1987 CR250 and how great it was. I bought one and hated it. It just wasn't for me for whatever reason.

James made the mistake and James did what he could to fix the mistake...and it looks like it paid off.

RV coulda been at hangtown...the outcome would have been the same i'm afraid.

Like counting your chicks before they are hatched, it is too early to say for sure. Though I must admit it is looking good. But what if James starts crashing again? Then what do you say? I say wait and see that is why we have a championship series to make sure it is not just one race, or that you are good on one track, or better on one track condition. I hope James is fixed, whether it be the bike or in his mind.

james has always been known as a "crasher" but he's also known as a title holder too.

Don't start with the "Couklda-shoulda-woulda" and "What if" bullshit Bobby! To me....RD looked to be off the pace....as by how hard he pulled away from your favorite rider out there MA......what 12 seconds? Isn't it usually 30 - 60 friggin' seconds? That is what him and RV were doing last year........This year......if you want to play the "What if" guessing game......there would of been nobody....and I mean nobody that would of ran with RV.

Always easy to talk shit when a rider is down.......but you guys sure don't have shit to say when RV is out there do you? Where the fuck were these comments over the past 2 friggin' years? Ya Fuggin' shit starter.
