The past couple years (well there is only two), teams like RCH have used the MEC event as their "coming out "announcement due to all the fan and media attention.... any big announcements on the brink at MEC this year?

The dude has a chance to promote the 14 yzf and make some money. Why would he bring a knife to a gun fight.

With "smart ass" being the soup du jour for the day, I believe between the pros, amateurs, superminis & ktm juniors there will be a total of 8 races, which is divisible by 2, thus making "halves?"

That's the big question? If so, I'm guessing you'll be sorely disappointed. Saw him at the Yamaha track yesterday, and there were a trio of 450s there. His race bike, practice bike, and a display bike.

I think there's a big announcement coming, but you'll have to be in the stadium, and paying attention. Smile

Can I speculate? ... either Millsaps or Reed will make an annoucement :-)

You can speculate...but those aren't the one I'm thinking of. Think jungle drums played like a John Bonham solo. Smile

Dang my memory is eluding me. The last time I heard jungle drums I can't remember what happened. Was that from when Windham retired? Is someone else retiring?

Thats what I was first thinking too but the "sweet music" reference must mean 2 strokes. 125 class is back!

I'm thinking along the lines of the drums played in Van Halen's Hot For Teacher.
