Thats right, thanks MCfan4 life. I read an interview on Mike Fisher and spoke to him on the phone once and he impressed me a lot, my young bloke Jake liked him and Ping the most over the USA i think and i was wondering if he is still involved. I dont here much about Ping now days either?

Fisher got fired after helping the team to 2 titles in 1 year with RV. Rumor was on the business end he was difficult to deal with on occasion and Mitch didn't like him. Specifically Fisher was a major force behind factory Kawi switching to FMF. So to keep the working relationship with Mitch and Kawi going smoothly Fisher got chopped.

Ping mentioned getting a full time fireman job so I imagine that's why he's doing less writing and podcasts for RacerX.

Yea I saw him at the TWMX ride day at Elsinore awhile back under the Mandingo Pickles booth. I was wondering if that was his permanent gig or not.

Most leaders butt heads with other leaders. I'll bet he had a disagreement on how things we're be supposed to be run, made someone mad and that was the end.

I believe he started a company involved with food distribution (including a catering business if I recall). I might be a bit off.

I remember when he pulled the holeshot at a SX a long time ago and led a few corners.

I don't know Mitch but I know that I wouldn't want to make him mad. That had to be a bad career move.

RV also inadvertently axed Kawasaki's entire offroad effort.

This


Im sure RV is worth every penny they are paying him, but Kawi is 1 crash away from having Jake as their only rider in the US representing. Might be a bit of "all their eggs in 1 basket".
