Motodude, I'm callin' you out!

Get a Bunch of Damn Aussie-Moto-Fans together, get some $ scratched up, book the flights NOW!, and I want to see a bunch of Yellow & Green in the Stands at Las Vegas Screaming for "Reedy"!

This is a Great Year for it & maybe Mossy will still be in it.

Show the World that the Down-Under cares about more than just "Aussie-Rules".

Yep... They did

But if in that race, they can't go for more than 8 laps at Reeds pace without crashing... Who's issue is that?

Then let's just give the title to Stewart right now, because he can probably go faster than anyone for a lap - hell, a sector.

Apparently finishing the race has FUCK ALL TO DO WITH IT

Yep. Dungey crashed whilst out front. RV crashed while right in front of Chad. But either way, they still didn't have his speed for anything more than 8 laps and it's a 20 lap race.

There's your facts fucknut.

Maybe, but I don't think he would have caught Dungey or RV had they not gone down. I guess we will see this next week. I'd love Reed to prove me wrong, but I don't think it will happen.

Doesn't matter what YOU think. He won the race "straight up". Whoever wins next week and so on won the race "straight up".

Yes, because faster more consistent riders crashed out. That's why it wasn't straight up, because RV and RD crashed out. Why do people have an issue with 'straight up' when it's a reality of competitive sports?
Yyyyyeah I agree I always think 'dammmm I didn't beat that guy who crashed straight up, can we run that race again?'

I'm always looking back as I corner to see who crashes, I make a list and see if we can run a race between me and the guys who crashed at the end of the day

So then it can be straight up, otherwise I feel bad for weeks and not be able to look at the trophy, i give the money away and years later i'll still have to talk to somebody about it.

Then next time I go up to the guy/s and tell them the next time they crash I will wait till they get going again.

I mean who want to win anything unless its straight up?

Fucknut. I already showed you the official laptimes, that clearly show Reed had 4 more laps under 53 than anyone else, and the only 51.

Your opinion has fuck all to do with anything.

And why the fuck does your opinion have more to do with it? Everyone can have their own opinion

Take NOTHING away fron Reed but technically I agree it wasn't "straght up"but it has Nothing to to with who wins and who gets the championship as these things are all part of racing

Did everyone beat Dungey "straight up" when he ran out of fuel? Or Cairoli at the MXdN when the guy from Mongolia launched into him at the start and wrote his bike off? Not in my opinion and that will never change,but the results stand correct,

Personally I'd rather see everyone race start to finish,no falls,no DNF's etc to determine who's truly the best,but these things happen and again are all part of racing,Reed didn't have to pass Dungey or RV,they crashed one way or another,I won't put an * on Dungeys Championship like some for example either

Sorry to bring it up again but some see things different that's al

STRAIGHT UP; To finish ahead of an opponent in a manner where all outside variables are eliminated and racers compete in a vacuum. Any crashes, tip overs, stalls, bobbles, dribbles, mechanicals, tears, ejections, avalanches, monsoons or earthquakes that affect any of the 22 qualified riders will make any STRAIGHT UP claims null and void. Furthermore All riders will pass a rigorous health screening post race to ensure that the race was indeed won STRAIGHT UP.

That should clear this up...

I'd rather beat someone without a bit of fortune personally, it always gives more satisfaction than when some guy's motor hand-grenades itself but I guess you gotta be in it to win it as they say,and even if you get taken out with no fault of your own then you lose,that's racing afterall,shame everyone didn't stay upright, now that would have been a brawlWoohoo

For me not quite straight up,sorry Whistling

Reeds victory on saturday night was as 'straight up' as they come, surely? Making a mistake and crashing out of contention just meant RV and Dungey were inferior on the night. Doesn't matter if their record is better or worse.

The only instances where 'straight up' can be disputed is when a guy is taken out by another rider or suffers a mechanical which hinders performance or causes a DNF. (At least as far as Im concerned)

Who caused Dungey and RV to go down the first time? yeah exactly.

Might as well say everyone who beat Reed when he crashed in the lead at Millville 2011 was not straight up.

Reed already proved you wrong, but neither he nor anybody else has to prove shit to you. It seems you live in a weird little world of your own twisted logic and 'what ifs'. Or maybe it's just more likely you're just a 'straight up' Reed hater.

"not straight up" was created to make an excuse for when the favorite(however and whoever you define that) gets beat. It has
since been used to affirm that a underdog has won "straight up". People obviously have a different opinion about the term
"straight up". Some would say Roczen, RV, and Reedy have won "straight up" so far and others would say Roczen and Reedy
have not won "straight up" because of JS7's, RV1, and RD5's crashes. I think we can all agree the "straight up" is a devisive
term used to get an argument going and most hate it. I think we can also agree the the racing this year has been great so far
and we hope for more of the same. Go RV1!

I'm with you on the disputes,those you mention sum up the fate of RD and AC in my post,many don't even consider for that even though they were totally out of their hands and absolutely no fault of their own but everyone's entitled to their own opinions Smile

I think Reed would have passed em all anyway Cool

For the record

I see it differently as well. I'm perfectly fine with the idea that some races are not won straight up, which is a term that has become a euphemism around here. I don't think Reed would have won had Dungey or Villopoto not crashed. That's my opinion, I could be wrong, but I am willing to hold that I'm not and that the remainder of the season will prove me correct.

Reed hater? Hardly. I am more ambivalent regarding Reed; it doesn't bother me when he wins and it doesn't bother me when he doesn't win. Regardless, I don't think he would have won had it not been for some misfortune up front. Sorry that some of you can't handle a different opinion than yours without resorting to spouting out nonsense. I am perfectly willing to concede that I could be wrong, and you're are correct, Reed has nothing to prove to me. But he does have to prove that his win was no fluke at this point in his career and the only way he is going to do that is to win when the leaders don't crash out. There's nothing wrong at all with questioning the legitimacy of a win or title over and against the other riders who have been the main winners the last few seasons, i.e. Ryan Villopoto and Ryan Dungey.
